Activity 1 – Accelerating Knowledge Sharing
Each Catalytic Thinking Lab is supported by a WindTunneling project. WindTunneling is a systemic methodology to accelerate learning and knowledge sharing. Share what you learned from the lab transparently and anonymously. Compare your thinking and respond to the ideas of others. Everyone gets to see every idea; no one knows who shared which idea.
Go to WindTunneling. Use Project Code 23ACQ to record your insights.
Activity 2 – Knowledge Mapping
Create a Knowledge Map of the gifts you bring to the world. List as many of these gifts as you can. Don’t edit yourself. Your gifts are your gifts. Post your knowledge map of gifts somewhere you can see it everyday. Consciously acknowledge the opportunities you have to express your gifts.
Activity 3 – Experiential Learning
Utilize artistic expression to extend one or more key ideas from the presentation. You may use prose, poetry, music, movement, visual arts, nature study, etc.
Write a summary of your insights, and connect it to your photo where appropriate.
