Conquer the most essential adaptation to the knowledge economyThe Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent—but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule or intimidate. Not every idea is good, and yes there are stupid questions, and yes dissent can slow things down, but talking through these things is an essential part of the creative process. People must be allowed to voice half-finished thoughts, ask questions from left field, and brainstorm out loud; it creates a culture in which a minor flub or momentary lapse is no big deal, and where actual mistakes are owned and corrected, and where the next left-field idea could be the next big thing. This book explores this culture of psychological safety, and provides a blueprint for bringing it to life. The road is sometimes bumpy, but succinct and informative scenario-based explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation.Explore the link between psychological safety and high performanceCreate a culture where it’s “safe” to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakesNurture the level of engagement and candor required in today’s knowledge economyFollow a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety in your team or organizationShed the "yes-men" approach and step into real performance. Fertilize creativity, clarify goals, achieve accountability, redefine leadership, and much more. The Fearless Organization helps you bring about this most critical transformation. Read more

Monotypes are stunningly beautiful, amazingly fun, mindfully relaxing, and suitable to old and young, beginner and expert. A monotype is a unique printing expression made from a flat surface. You can make monotypes from a home-made gelatin round or from any plexiglass or glass sheets you have lying around the house. If you wish, you can buy pre-made monoprinting surfaces from Gelli Arts, Gel Press, Speedball, and other vendors. Really, you can use just about any paint-resistant flat surface for monoprinting which can easily be cleaned afterwards.

On that chosen surface you paint, swirl, fingerpaint, stamp, design, and play with the colors. When your design is complete, you then lay a piece of paper onto the paint in order to capture its essence. And then you begin again. Each new expression brings fresh life to your creativity.

Monotypes are a wonderful way to reduce stress, to brainstorm, to explore your creativity, and to simply breathe in the beauty of every passing moment. It is a pure exercise in mindfulness.

This book has everything you need to get you on the road to making beautiful items for family, friends, and for sale. It is intended for raw beginners who need to learn the terminology and basic techniques involved. It provides supply lists, glossaries, and more.
