Notes to Self
news and ideas from
The Learning Space
Greetings!
We are energized to face the new year. The Learning Space is expanding its presence on the web and in the community.
In addition to written blogs "Thinking on the Page," our website will soon feature videos. "Thinking Out Loud" will be introduced through a series of videos in which Priscilla Friesen discusses the ideas that went into founding The Learning Space, the difference between a "space" and a "center" and why that is an important distinction, and much more.
Andrea Schara continues to introduce the business world to Neurofeedback for Business Leadership, an innovative program for human organizations with the goal of enhancing executive performance by introducing both systems thinking and neurofeedback training.
.
We wish you a productive and creative New Year and invite you to expand along with us.

The Ultimate Family Team Building
Elaine, my first cousin, and I traveled to the desert 3 years ago. The desert is Palm Springs and it is the home of our mothers' brother, then age 87.
