Teach to steal by forcing people to share...

Getting used to steal


People are weary of stealing. But stealing is
OK. As long as you give credit. A way to make
participants getting comfortable with stealing is
by using guided mastery. (See Banduras guided
mastery, see also #gamification). Exercise: Give
each participant four A4 papers. Fill each A4
respectively with: Lines. Triangles. Circles.
Squares. Be creative. At each A4 make
participants incorporate one interesting
element from their peers previous A4 into
theirs.

Test your storyfication skills


1 Watch Paolo Cardini's talk Forget multitasking, try monotasking
2 Summarise the talk in a A4 paper with sticky notes

Share & steal from your peers...


3 Share (in pairs)
4 Incorporate at least one element from peer
5 Iterate three times

When we arrived in the Valley we didnt know


anyone outside our comfort zone. Me and
Cesar decided that we would try to make an
effort to socialize more with strangers. So
every Saturday noon we would go to a random
Starbucks. We meet self-taught illustrator Juan
Villa at such a Starbucks near Edgewood. He

taught me this hack: Write numbers from 1 to


9. The left hand writes the mirror image of the
right hand. Both hands write at the same speed.
Most people are surprisingly good at left-hand
mirror sketching. Gain confidence by
discovering hidden abilities.
