Thanks to an invitation from Seth Simonds, I've started contributing to Stepcase Lifehack, a top 100 Technorati blog featuring pieces on productivity, personal improvement, and other life "hacks" to improve yourself.
My first submission based on the creative and innovation strategy written about here at Brainzooming is "8 Ways to Bring Your Creative Passions to Work." The response to the piece has been quite gratifying and demonstrates the benefit of getting articles in front of a very large audience. Look for new bi-weekly posts from Brainzooming over at Stepcase Lifehack.
