Open forum thinking is a fun way to bring out the best in conversation. But it can also be a very long road to travel. We all open forum speak on the social networks. It's when you take it to blogs, magazine articles, radio and televisions shows that being that open forum speaker can instantly catch up to you. We expect it to be readily available and always filled with fuel. It's a disciplined art. You have to practice it every day. You can adlib or improv you method of open forum thinking without there being a foundation of purpose. A man once said to me, "You have to know a lot about nothing."
