I've begun revising and posting some older pieces from this blog on Affect Labs' website.
As those who have followed me know, I've done a lot of research on the ways in which people learn, in business and elsewhere.
The bottom line:
The more resources of your own to which you have access, the more innovative and creative you can be.
Sounds Obvious?
In business, it's pretty clear that affect is frowned upon. Feelings are suspect; ideas are supposedly products entirely of the intellect. OK, Emotional Intelligence sold well back in the day, but how often is it actually applied in a board room?
Why is this Worth Repeating? And Why There?
Affect Labs is proof of concept. Their software crawls social networks for what is said about brand based on the feeling expressed in phrases. Jennie Lee, who invented it, says there are no algorithms quite like the ones she created to do this.
Jennie's pretty smart, so I believe her.
It seems like that site is the place to reposition the relationships among language, social media, learning, and business because Affect Labs can help companies benefit from them.
But first they have to believe it.
Feeling Presentable
This might be a good place to connect up how this is related to the way people present themselves and performance coaching.
But that's for another time.
