Asset-Based Thinking is infectious and asset-based thinkers just love to tell other people about how ABT has positively influenced their lives. Recently, I have had the honor and privilege to experience two wonderful people putting ABT into practice. Erica Ogrady and Ann Mehl have been kind enough to write to me about how ABT and “Change The Way You See Everything” has helped them in their lives. Kathy and I have put our hearts and souls into creating the Asset-Based Thinking book series and there is nothing more gratifying and inspiring than hearing from readers about how our work has influenced them. I am always blown away and moved by their responses. What is particularly great to see is how both Erica and Anne are using ABT in their own work and terrific blogs they have created.

Erica Ogrady

Erica’s blog is simply called Reinventing Erica. It is full of great tips and advice and she is an excellent writer. I like her mantra. “Be remarkable instead of BIG”. Erica was kind enough to create a post on her blog named My Favorite Acronym - CTWYSEABT. In it she serves up her own brand of ABT Advice. Here’s a sample. I know you will enjoy reading it. You can also follow Erica on Twitter.

That “just by shifting ever so slightly the way we see things” we can get more of what we want in life and less of what we don’t want.  It was like Law of Attraction but based in Science.  And that Science had a name, Asset-Based Thinking.

Ann wrote me a note that struck a responsive chord.

Hi Hank,
I am a fan of your writing and am truly inspired by your work. I have recommended your ABT books to my clients as I find them to be incredibly helpful. I recently kicked-off a blog on my site which highlights values that I hold sacred. My intention is to spend time speaking with accomplished people like yourself and share with my readers some of your experience.

Ann asks a series of questions of a broad range of people and then synthesizes their comments and answers into an intersting and informative piece. This month Ann is asking people how they “run their own race” and listen to their intuition to get ahead in life. I’m looking forward to her questions and seeing how my answers compare to others. Be sure to check it out.

Please let me know how ABT has influenced your life and become part of the growing ABT Positive Conspiracy.

Hank Wasiak
