It just happened to me these days that I was entangled in a weird mess of communication and misunderstanding. Everything around me started boiling, it was amazing how a molehill became a mountain. It is interesting that exactly today I discovered this talk of Temple Grandin on TED, and it helped me to regain some peace in my mind, because I had started doubting myself in a way that was not constructive anymore. As I see it, one of the major handicaps in communication is that we are jumping to conclusions, that we are concerned about the similarities among us by neglecting, ignoring or even discriminating the differences.

I love short talks, not because I am too lazy to listen to long ones, but because it impresses me if people are able to find images or metaphors respectively that keep what they have to say short and precise. Derek Sivers is a wonderful example of this very rare species.

You could definitely call it "a founder's meeting" for our ambassador program. We were a small group of people who seemed to be cut from the same cloth. And this was really amazing for me, as I had not focused on this aspect when I was contacting the guys whether they want to join our program.

After tomorrow our founder's meeting for our brand ambassador program takes place, a kind of a kick-off event. Thoughts have been tossed and turned already for several weeks. Yesterday we decided to give it a frame, a real one. This makes it a lot easier to observe things how and where to they progress.
