In this show we discuss A Stone* of Solutions™ including:1. Earth is our home planet. 2. We have colleagues, clients, customers, vendors, partners and knowledge experts located around our planet that we need to have meetings with!3. Due to the physical size of our planet and the rotation of it and other bodies in our solar system, we experience different conditions at the same moment (daylight, darkness, etc.).4. How many times zones now? "Given a 24-hour day and 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth, it is obvious that the world's standard time zones have to be 15 degrees wide, on average. It is worth mentioning that some sources claim there are 24 standard time zones, while others say there are 25 time zones. The perspective of the number of time zones depends on the definition of a time zone versus the International Date Line." http://www.timeanddate.com/time/time-zones-history.html5. What? 24 or 25 different time zones is too many!6. It could be worse. There used to be over 300 time zones in the US alone! 7. Why bother? Who needs people in different time zones in a meeting? If you don't want clients, customers, vendors, partners or any other opportunities outside 'your' time zone, then that is your choice. It is potentially going to harm your organization (regarding growth, talented labor, etc.). It is a choice.8. If you decide you do want to explore the best of what the planet has to offer for your organizational meetings (clients, talent, experts, etc.), how do you do so most effectively?9. DO NOT: - State that "it is only one person in that time zone" (so they have to attend at 3 am or else not come at all).- Exclude diverse time zone attendees entirely from the meeting because "it is too much hassle" (we'll just [...] VISIT THE SITE FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW NOTES! © Courtney Anderson Enterprises LLC  Site: www.CourtneyAnderson.com Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @ZealousBusiness

The most common of these may be the hoary exhortation to "think outside the box. […] The phrase means something like "think creatively" or "be original," and its origin is generally attributed to consultants in the 1970s and 1980s who tried to make clients feel inadequate by drawing nine dots on a piece of paper and asking them to connect the dots without lifting their pen, using only four lines:”-http://www.fastcompany.com/53187/outside-box-inside-story5) If you thought differently you wouldn’t need others to do so.6) If you tell them how to think differently they will do it (as they are obedient), yet that would result in “Think Same” instead of “Think Different.”7) Why do you think that they need to “Think Different”? 8) Were you told to do so by someone else?
