I am a voracious reader and a life long learner.  I continue to be amazed by the innovative ideas that flow by us each and every day in business journals, newsletters, etc.  Incredibly thoughtful, provocative and useful things that you can act on immediately or that get your creative juices flowing!!  I scour different business journals routinely to "make myself smart" by trying the latest thinking on for size - for my own personal development as well as for my clients.  I'll share some of those here from time to time, along with articles that I have authored myself.  Sometimes your creative process begins with someone else's idea(s)!  I call it derivative thinking.  Try it...make time for reading about other people's ideas.
