expansive thinking

10/23/2018

 
The Rail-Volution Conference held in Pittsburgh Oct 21-24, 2018.  Rail-Volution is a conference about "building livable communities with transit."  A highlight was Jarrett Walker presenting at the Plenary session on Tuesday.  Those (like this author) never having heard of him now have the good fortune to become familiar with his work thanks to conference.  Take the opportunity to visit his blog, "Human Transit" and get introduced to his book.   Particularly interesting on the blog is the debate presented at the Cato Institute.  Walker's blog presents hours of new thinking and learning for the newly initiated.  

It is a good reminder that being introduced to new ideas isn't just good for us for the benefit of the information received, but for the experience of gaining new perspective as well.  Constantly seek out new ideas--not just information to do what you already do, better.  The experience of opening the mind has a multiplier effect.  Ask artful question about the benefits of training and conferences, so to encourage education as well as expansive thinking. Wise leaders apply thoughtfulness before characterizing trainings as junkets. How do you validate training and development expenses?
