It's been a long, exciting, stressful, fun, memorable, interesting and exhausting year. And when I look back at everything from the new book to speaking in Switzerland to the nametag tattoo, it's sure been a productive one too!
Last night I spent a few hours on one last project for 2005. It's something I've wanted to do for quite a while now, so I'm glad I finally got around to it! The image is a visual map of approachability. I drew it up because the idea has really evolved this past year, especially taking new direction in the form of professional approachability.
Now, although I'm not much of an artist, the sketch came out great. And it's a nice break for your brain to explore an abstract concept in a visual medium for once.
Happy New Year my friends!
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
What was the highlight of this year for you?

Scott - One of the highlights of my year was getting to talk to phenomenal people like you! This year, I have honestly added about 100 people (probably more) like you, who are full of energy and willing to help me make it great! Thanks Scott for kicking me into gear in 2005...and here's to an even better 2006!
Scott, nice drawing, though most of it is still text ;)
I took the liberty and did a redraw of your map.
Thanks for a great year, more to come, I hope.
I stumbled upon your site by accident. But I am very grateful that I did. I must say that I am very impressed by your dedication and your creative vision, and very humbled by what you have achieved at the age of 25 (hmm.. some of us 25-year-olds are still struggling in grad school on borrowed money). I have been thinking about approachability a lot recently because of my chosen profession. I am a medical student and will start hospital rotations in a few months. Approachaility is key for a good doctor-patient relationship, and it strikes me as very odd that we learn so little about approachability in the classroom. We are merely told to be "approachable" instead of shown actual strategies. A lot of my classmates are very bright kids who had led privileged lives and have only interacted with their equally privileged Ivy-League peers. Classroom learning is not an issue, but the transition to real life situations in a healthcare setting would require approachability that we didn't learn about in the classroom. Anyway, thank you for bringing attention to this important issue. And Happy New Year!
Came upon this blog a wee bit late but better late than never eh? Lots of enthusiasm and positive energy. Dont lose site of your goal and Im sure you will achieve it.
