Big Ideas in Small Bites

4/17/2013

Have you ever been at a restaurant, casually reviewing the menu and chatting with your companion, when the waitress presents you with a complimentary, bite-sized appetizer?   Known as an amuse-bouche, the chef provides this tasty sample as a preview of her talents and offerings as a practitioner.

One famous New York City chef describes the amuse-bouche as the best way to express "big ideas in small bites."

I came across this description of the amuse-bouche as I was mentally preparing to launch the Foresight Blog, and I felt it was the perfect analogy for this new creative undertaking.  Certainly, I am under no pretense that brief, weekly thoughts and commentary are sufficient to make substantial change in our lives.  If only it was that easy!  Just as the chef sends out a bite-sized sample to provide a glimpse of her big ideas, so too can this blog be a place of sampling and exploring.  The Foresight Blog is a venue where we begin our conversation; where I bring to you some big ideas in small bites and you (hopefully) find yourself wanting more.

Those of you in my social network know that my field is change, and my focus is on workplace, careers and academics.  I believe that change is very personal, often occurring at the interface of our relationships with others and ourselves.  Many times we articulate change in terms of a goal or desired future state, such as "I want a career that's more fulfilling" or "I want more time to focus on my priorities."  Sometimes change is forced upon us, perhaps an encroaching deadline or a job transfer.

But what do we really know about change and how to make it stick in our lives?  What can we learn from research, from practitioners, from storytelling, and from our own lives that provides insights into making real change in the pursuit of our goals and aspirations?  How do we make a vision for our future into a new reality?

I invite you to join me for a weekly small tasting of big ideas about how to change our daily lives for the better and illuminate the path of change.  You can follow the Foresight Blog on the website,
www.theforesightcoach.com, or by clicking “like” on the Foresight Coaching Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/foresightcoaching. 

Welcome and enjoy these small bites.
