BBC TV program Maestro.
Recommended as an illustration of how we can learn and improve.
What is needed? What would you need?
Fake it till you make it, and building on strengths.
Als, even skilled and experienced celebrities in one arena are not up to rapid change in another.
Also the program Faking It is excellent for the same reason.
4 more Maestros to go. Well worth watching.
What lessons are in it for you? What would you need?

Management
Do you manage yourself in your daily life?
Do you manage WHAT you do?
Do you manage HOW you do it?
Do you manage WHY you do things?
Or do you just react to circumstances and other people?
No, you don't just react; you have already managed your response. Even if you opt out you have managed the opt-out.
So you can't not manage; but you can manage yourself better.

Dog Whisperer
Do you watch Dog Whisperer?
Brilliant.
The owners are the ones who get in a stew and have to learn how to change.
This is good behavioural change stuff for all of us.
Use it as metaphor.

Genes again
If you believe the stuff on BSA about genetics? Read on.
The Wellcome Trust is an independent research-funding charity established in 1936 under the will of tropical medicine pioneer Sir Henry Wellcome. The Trust's mission is to promote research with the aim of improving human and animal health. It currently spends more than £400 million per annum.
The world's first audio collection of examples of stammered speech has been set-up by scientists funded by the Wellcome Trust, the UK's biggest biomedical research charity - 2004.
The article quoted below is on population genetics:

'Time and again, an association between a gene and a disease was reported, but when other researchers looked for the same effect, they could not reproduce the result. “About 10 years ago, geneticists got very nervous about these kinds of studies,” says Professor Cardon. “They were afraid that differences in population structure were leading to the irreproducible results – and there are examples where population structure is known to have caused problems. But it was not only lack of attention to broad ethnic differences, but small samples that led to the confusion. We now know that if we are to find the genes that have small effects on common diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, we need to study large numbers of people and we need to know, at a fine level, the genetic structure of that sample of people.”'
There is something about real scientists. Don't you think?

Brain disruption
Jack Welch the tough CEO of GE who, though retired now, is still big time in management stammered as a younger man.
He has joined the happy band of Bruce Willis et al. since clearly a miracle has occurred and his disrupted brain has healed because he doesn't stammer now.
So, defective genetic complexes and physical brain disruption can randomly and spontaneously resolve by some miracle.
I don't believe it.
