Having been in this space for a while, I am so happy to say that I have found a great number of teachers and mentors. That’s one of the things I really love about the web, is that it allows you to connect intimately with so many interesting people that are just brimming with ideas. Being extremely inquisitive I have been searching the web, finding some of the best thought leaders. I am calling these people IDEA NINJAS.
I’m going to start tracking these people down (which might be hard due to their NINJA stealth. (I insist on always spelling NINJA in caps because I think it adds mystery and drama, lol)
Anyway, I definitely have a list of people in mind but if you know someone who should be on this list, shoot me an email or leave a comment below and I will check them out.
Idea Ninjas. Nice concept. But it does sort of conjure up images from old movies, about the lone silent ninja, dressed in black, hunting in the darkness and disappearing.
I have been lucky in my life to meet many “anti-ninjas”. Those that share and give away their ideas in a very public way, to foster collaboration and increase visibility of their creativity.
what do you think?
Hmm…while I do agree on their stealth, when I think of Ninja’s i think of masters who have spent years training and who know secrets.
I also see idea-ninjas as people who are extremely adept in creating and managing ideas…do you have a better word??
Well, I did once meet a guy who wanted to be a multimedia Chef! Mixing up lots of digital ingredients. I quite liked that as a description!
I think the word you are looking for is Master. They know a lot and their aim is to share their knowledge.I suggest Hans Roseling. Defnitely my master, ninja, whatever. Check out his Ted talks.
