Nieuw jaar, voornemens, plannen, wensen. Voor het nieuwe jaar zijn er genoeg verbeter punten, dus werk aan de winkel!
De vraag is, hoe zorg je dat je voornemens ook werkelijkheid worden? Vorig jaar is het ook niet gelukt, dus waarom

Een twitversatie over #FlowCreation en #dialoog
Living now, building on the future so people get to know you from the past
I was thinking about the next thing:
Living now, building on the future so people get to know you from the past
In the past, I forgot to live and be in the now. Ecademy is future oriëntated and having dialogue now.
How is your balance?
living in the present – building your future – listen to the past
When you communicate it is wise to reconsider the balance.
Groeten / Regards, Sibren

How do you keep conversation going?

Today I realized the way I like to keep conversation going on this Ecademy blog, is most essential in all communication I have. Let me explain:
My first blogposting was about having a project realized (see here). Not really an invite to start a dialogue ![]()
During serveral blogpostings last year I learned to level with the readers here on Ecademy and watched how top-bloggers kept conversation going. Slowly I felt more comfortable and it get easier to post and just see what happens, without expectations…
I adapt this learned way of dialogue with family and clients, and it is really improving: playing with views on the conversation to stay in contact, not expecting anything. My intention is to listen well and react on others reaction, but sometimes I still get “pushy” and…. conversation stops.
Stapping back helps, still learning ![]()
After my reaction on Marco’s blog about “being happy with yourself” / having a healthy self-image I came up with an subject as a designer:
Is my creative process in line with financial responsability?
Five years ago I decided to start my own one-person-designcompany. Not for the money but to get closer to the costumer, talk and deliberate directly, inspire with possibilities instantly and most important: keep energy flowing.
Ten years before, I worked for several companies at the creation-department where accountability – the money – plays a central role. And I learned to work with eliminating risks, giving the financially proved solution for cliënts. But after ten years it felt really empty and down. Strange, because I was “making” things, that’s the most popular position in the company!
Visual thoughts – HOVER!
How to become an expert by surprise!
If you are building from your distinctive (core) values, you can be surprised to become an example for others.
Today a person in my network asked what to do against a collegue-entrepreneur who has copied some text from her website.
My answer:
Enjoy your new role: this person made you an EXPERT. If someone is using your copy, it must be good written!
What would be your advise to her?
Groeten, Sibren
