| Introduction | I'm an innovation consultant, an "innovational speaker," a brainstorming facilitator, and an author. And I'm nuts about ideas. I love to think them up, visualize them, and make them happen. Starting back with drawings scratched on the walls of caves ("Hey, Grok, check this out... I think I just drew a wheel...") and right through to the 21st century, all of the BIG ideas are ideas that can be visualized. And when an idea is visualized it almost magically spawns more ideas. Helping people think up more Big Ideas is the modest task this blog undertakes. For more info go to www.emmerling.com |
| Interests | Writing fiction and non-fiction, cartooning, sketching, photography, theater, opera, jazz, visiting NYC museums, flying small airplanes, scuba diving, and going to the Great Barrier Reef to swim outside the shark cage and hand feed Great Whites with succulent legs of lamb. (Kidding about that last one.) |
| Favorite Movies | The early Brando and Woody Allen flicks, and most movies directed by Scorsese, Howard, and Tarantino. |
| Favorite Music | Jazz, Classical, Opera, and -- yes! -- Country. |
| Favorite Books | EINSTEIN by Isaacson, THE ATOMIC BAZAAR by Langwiesche, THE MARCH by Doctorow, THE DEVIL AND THE WHITE CITY by Larson, CITIZEN SOLDIERS by Ambrose. |
Something I'm always asking: "What are the best ways to think up ideas?"
