In today’s rapidly evolving work environment, core values like collaboration, integrity, and creativity are more crucial than ever. As more professionals navigate the shift toward remote work, they’re rethinking what truly matters in their careers. At Tracking Wonder, we’ve spent over a decade cultivating a community that values openness, purposeful innovation, and collaboration over ego.
When advising business leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners, I often steer them away from massive social media investments. If you’re familiar with my work at Tracking Wonder, you know I’m not “anti-social media.” Certain platforms hold specific value for particular brands and purposes. The key is discernment and agency.
Creative intelligence, as I define it, is the capacity to generate both novel and useful insights and then discern and act upon the best of them. Creative intelligence is something each human being possesses on a spectrum – and creative intelligence is activated collectively with others.
Let me offer some perspective on how powerful – and not passive – our activated imagination and creative intelligence can be to bring about the change we desire.
Books aren’t just objects. Books are agents of wonder as they expand my perspective on what is real, what is true, and what is possible.
Many clients, customers, audience members, and readers often ask me about the books that shape my world, so I offer here a glimpse into my reading journey —touching upon themes ranging from business strategies to personal well-being.
Many clients – leaders, startup founders, business owners, authors – express what I would call a Wise Rise. Maybe you can relate. You’re deeply committed to meeting the challenges necessary to grow people’s awareness of your unique point of view, services, or products so you can elevate them (rise) but with a more mindful expenditure of time, energy, resources, and pacing (wise).
To build your business with your ideas requires more than inspiration. It also requires less thrilling things such as systems, habits, and boundaries.
In my ongoing work with leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives, I’m always on the look out for resources to help them leverage their ideas into lasting influence.
These three books I’ve found illuminating and complementary to what we do at Tracking Wonder:
How To Begin by Michael Bungay Stanier (Page Two) MBS.works
Start Finishing: How to Go From Idea to Done by Charlie Gilkey (Sounds True) Charlie Gilkey
Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport (Grand Central Publishing)
