Email: Green Light salutes to Dan Burrus!
Dan Burrus’ groundbreaking best-seller new book, Flash Foresight, offers 7 principles that make invisible opportunities visible. In his 7-11 newsletter, “Techno Trends: Big Ideas That Are Changing Everything”, Burrus shares a timely, widely applicable thought from his book.
“The question becomes, will we let ourselves see the opportunities and become motivated by foresight or wait until we are seeing the crises happen before our eyes, and become motivated by hindsight? It’s time to stop mourning the “good old days” and start reinventing the new ones.”
Back from the National Speakers Association event in Anaheim last week.

John Graham is a Green Light thinker!
We, the United (?) States, are a nation of Green Light hearts yet many of our leaders – corporate and governmental – are using a Red Light style. This comes from a Red Light motivation – “I win/you lose” instead of the Green “We-win” style. Check out this thoughtful comment and article from John Graham, an insightful author and long-term US Foreign Service representative.
A successful future for America depends on the meaning we attach to being citizens of the same republic–a meaning shattered every time the left questions the intelligence of their opponents and the right questions the patriotism of those who don’t share their views. http://johngrahamspeaker.org/america-divided
