Hi,

I hope you are doing well. Welcome to another Here’s An Idea Worth Playing With (HAIWPW). The weekly audio show about ideas that I think are worth playing with.

I recorded this at lunch today, after recording a video about park benches (yes, you read that right). I was at Avington Park, a wonderful estate just outside of Winchester. It was cold. There were some menacing looking bulls. The swans were circling. Some bird watchers were hanging around.

And I was musing about the 8 different types of intelligence and playing with the idea that our workplaces may benefit from appreciating, amplifying and accelerating the diversity of intelligence. This list is from this source.

The 8:

Spatial intelligence - Abstract and dimensional thinkingBodily-kinesthetic intelligence - Understanding our bodyMusical intelligence - Sensitivity to rhythm, etcLinguistic/Language intelligence - flow, correct words, melody, toneLogical-mathematical intelligence - The ability to analyze problems logically (the classical idea of intelligence)Interpersonal intelligence - The ability to interact effectively with othersIntrapersonal intelligence - Sensitivity to one’s own feelings, goals, capabilities and valuesNaturalistic intelligence - The ability to understand nature

I mention:

The communication workshop (we cover a couple of these 8 in this course).The Trinity of Career Development The 10 Behaviours of Effective Employees

That’s been an idea worth playing with. Have a fab week.

Rob..
