Dealing with a Challenge in Public
Every now and then an example appears that shows brilliance in dealing with a challenge in public. Sometimes we learn from the mistakes and sometimes its clear that this example is one to follow. Recently when Bill Hybels had to confront a tremor in the organisaton of his church's annual leadership summit the timing and focus of the issue were both public and awkward. The Global Leadership Summit that impacts leaders in over 75 countries annually is run from the Chicago based Willowcreek church. Speakers often come from varying points of the compass and include both business and church...

When I first heard the premise of Justin Timberlake taking a lead in Andrew Niccol’s new Sci-Fi Thriller In Time, I immediately thought this sounds like Logan's Run with a Pop Star. Driving to the preview showing I was then confronted by a publicity poster on the back of a bus that looked like a mash-up of Tron and Water for Elephants which initiated an emotional tangent or two but what was I truly in for?

While the video below is made up of material from around 1987 and 1992 it still makes a powerful statement on what can be achieved when we have a vision for the future. Enjoy this little technological prophetic ride. More videos from Apple’s past promotions can be found here.

Love to imagine myself looking back on a life of memories. Some good, some bad, all brushstrokes in a life worth living. Some bright colours, others dull and fading but memories resilient when the light shines on them. Some smooth, some scratches, An inspired thought after watching Amy Grant’s video “Better than a Hallellujah”
