****Input Requested by Ned Lundquist****
JOTW commentary

I need some responses to two things I ran in last isssue.

I need some “Aha!” momments.  And I need a “most gratifying volunteer
experience” ever.

See most recent JOTW.

Ned

(Sonja comments: Ned publishes the JOTW, which can be viewed at www.nedsjotw.com or subscribed to by sending a blank e-mail to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.)

More details:

***  Aha!

Ned:  I notice that Imre Communications talks about achieving that
“Aha!” moment.  So, what is an “Aha!” moment?  Is that when the apple
fell on Sir Isaac Newton's head?  When Alexander Graham Bell remembered
Watson's phone number?
 
Imre:  An Aha! moment is that second in time – standing in the shower or
in the line at the grocery store, staring out at a warm sea or putting
paint to canvas, while you're in a brainstorming to market the next big
thing or sitting quietly at your desk. that moment when everything
becomes crystal clear.
 
Ned:  I have lots of “Aha!” moments in the shower.  I used to have them
when I mowed the lawn, but I have a teenager who actually likes to mow
the lawn.  But those revelations are often accidental.  A chance
encounter as it were.  Can you create an “Aha!” for someone who needs
one?
 
Imre:  We asked our employees to share their big Aha!s.  See them at http://imrecommunications.com/holiday-2007/.

Ned:  Now. JOTW readers,  tell us about yours.  What they are, where you
get them, how you share them.  Maybe you'll want to ask yourself one of
these four questions to help you think of and share your Aha! with us.

Q:   An Aha! moment is one of clarity and revelation.  How do YOU get to
that Aha! moment – for yourself or your  organization/clients?

Q:   How do you know when you've achieved it?

Q:  How do you translate – and physically deliver – that Aha! to a
client?

Q:   Tell us about an Aha! moment you've had recently.  Send us a
picture, even.

We'll share the best entries and select the four best by the end of
March.  Winners will receive a $25 Home Depot gift card.  Then we'll
have a poll to let you, the JOTW readers select the best Aha! Moment of
all and that winner will get something totally cool.

Thanks for participating.  And here's wishing you a year chock-full of
Aha! moments.

***  Here's the JOTW question of the week:

“What was the most gratifying volunteer experience you ever had?”

Send me your answer (to lundquist989@cs.com).  We'll post some in JOTW,
and some in VJOTW.

Meanwhile, if you have a volunteer opportunity to share, send it to
Heather and Rachel at VJOTWnews@gmail.com.  Sign up for the free
