Complexity made simple – that’s what a good assessment does

July 7th, 2011

(Me: in official, officious tone…) Today I’m going to teach you about reverse laminar flow.

(You: in confused, bewildered tone…)  Say what?

Complexity  made simple.  If they’re any good that’s what assessments do.  Take complicated, complex human beings and complicated, complex views of the world and make them simple.

Not simplistic.  Simple.

The view from a mountain is easily understood when compared with the view from a carrot.  The view from one’s heart is more easily understood when compared with the view from one’s head.  And so on.

Like this reverse laminar flow video.

What’s your view?

July 5th, 2011

Are you stuck in a rut?  How about a cause for paws to pause?

Doing the same ol’ same ol’?

What’s the view from your sandbox?  Need to get out and find another?

Pause.

Take a page from the Stop Life Lensesâ„¢ page – stop playing patty cake and start playing your own game.

Global perspective – what sound does your heart beat?

June 28th, 2011

From a global perspective what song does your heart beat?

Something with choreographed symbols and full on symphony or are you more African beat and wild abandon?

Perhaps the husky whiskey soaked hue of the blues or the smoky eyes and dark night blues?

Take a look, lend an ear.

And repeat: what sound does your heart beat?
