"Wealth, Innovation and Diversity: Putting our Differences to work in the 21st Century" by Joel Barker. Hosted by best-selling author and futurist Joel Barker this video contends that your organization will experience long-lasting success only when you reap the benefits of diversity by collaborating with individuals and enterprises that are different from yourself. Lessons are taught against such backdrops as Machu Picchu's ruins, a farm in Ireland, skyscrapers in Singaporeand the forests, maintains and plains of America. Drawing from history, science and innovations of organizations and nations, Barker introduces a new premise for thinking and understanding diversity and its role in our lives and world, bringing his powerful messages to a conclusion with a call-to-action for every organization and individual. (Supported with facilitator guide, workbook and cd-rom). 2002. 31 mins.

"Invisible Rules: men, women and teams." by Dr. Pat Heim. 34 mins. 1996. According to Dr. Heim, men and women grow up in different cultures, learning different lessons about what it means to be a leader and what it means to be a team player. In her thoughtful and lively presentation she sorts out some of these rules - Men and women have radically different ideas of wha it means to be a team player; Our meeting behaviors are different. For men, the meeting often doesn't happen in the meeting and women may not know this; Women often use disclaimers, hedges, and tag questions in their linguistic behavior which can backfire when talking to men; and Our non-verbal communication is different. For example, when women nod, it means, "I hear you," whilc men nod in agreement. These differences are not right or wrong but they can result in confusion and conflict. By making these invisable rules visable, Dr. Heim provides the basis for better understanding, communication and teamwork.
"Everyday Creativity" with Dewitt Jones. This is about looking at the ordinary and seeing the .. extraordinary. We are all faced with challenges -- at work and at home.

Using inspirational stories, memorable locations and Jones' vivid photography, it will empower you to apply his simple, yet powerful creativity techniques to all aspects of your life.
