INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Our move to The Pointe, 1205 E. Washington Street, Louisville, KY 40106 is

definitely worthy of front page coverage. We are very excited to be able to offer

WorkShop accessibility to everyone. We will be on the first floor and there is a

wheelchair ramp adjacent to our front door. Many people are asking if we are

keeping WorkShop like it is. The answer is yes. We are moving forward in time,

just a little to be more green and more accessible. Here is a snapshot of what we

will have at The Pointe:

The Studio - 1600 sq ft, kitchenette, casual seating and classroom seating with

tables and chairs. We will also have the capability of seating 100 in theatre style

seating. We will have a small stage, audio system and skylights. In parts of this

room you may feel as though you are on the set of a movie.

Loft - this room will comfortably seat up to 20. This room will have beautiful

hardwood floors, dock doors, some brick walls and plenty of windows.

???? No name yet - this room will be decorated with many kites. The sky is the

limit in this room. Seating comfortably up to 35, this room will have a kitchenette,

comfortable furniture and many large windows. Do you have a name idea?

The Louisville Room - this room will be seat up to 10 with comfortable seating,

large windows and decorated with the highlights of Louisville and our stars.

The Board Room - This smaller room will feature a table and chairs setting for

meetings or break out sessions.

We will have a central kitchen, 2 other break out rooms, business center, and wi-fi.

All setting in a beautiful building called The Pointe.

Quite possibly a relative of James Watt,

who was a Scottish inventor and

mechanical engineer whose

improvements to the steam engine were

fundamental to the changes brought by

the Industrial Revolution. His

invention initiated changes in

generating and applying power, which

transformed the world of work.

James Watt had a WorkShop where

he worked on many of his inventions.

Turn On the Power of People and Ideas.

Imagine a group of people who are excited

and engaged, working together toward a

common goal. Imagine a place where peo-

ple are tapping into the power of their own

creative thinking, sharing information and

ideas, and applying this work to challenges.

This is WorkShop, the creative workplace.

Creative work is the work that grows your

business, team or organization. Creative

Work is a way of working that brings

together creative thinking, teamwork, shared

vision, and ownership to produce break-

through accomplishments. Invent your own

solutions.

Congratulations to Brian Daly of Webster University

http://www.webster.edu/louisville/index.shtml for submitting

the winning name. Dr. Daly said, “Mr. Watt was what we called

my horse that we raised from a colt. His name was Watusi but we

called him Mr. Watt. Mr. Watt grew up to become an Olympic

jumper representing the United States in the Japanese Olympics in

1964”. According to Dr. Daly, Mr. Watt was a great athlete and a

remarkable horse. Mr. Watt signified greatness then and now.

Clint Ackerman submitted Lou Mination which was the

runner up. Ed Skarbek, TriZenter LLC submitted the

name Watt with an Abbott and Costello theme.

Are you confused by all different types of Social Media?

Well, here is a simple version. Twitter drives traffic to a par-

ticular event, site, announcement, blog, photo etc. Facebook

is great to put photos of your business or product that people

can actually see. Linkedin is purely professional. People

connecting with people. Many employers are now looking at

a Linkedin profile prior to an interview. Please take time to

keep yours updated regularly. Look for connections to the

business you are interviewing with. Come prepared.

Build on what you know, discover what you don’t!

Is everyone paying attention to you during

your meeting? Try this: Have everyone take

out a piece of paper and put their name on it.

Tell them you will be reading them a story

and every time they hear “right” move the

paper to the right, every time they hear “left”,

move the paper to the left.

“March Madness is right around the

corner. There are many teams left in the

running for a chance to play. Mr. Wright

and his family, Mrs. Wright, Jimmy

Wright and Susie Wright are very excited

and were discussing the games at dinner.

The oldest son, Tommy Wright, left for

boot camp after he left school and will

actually be back for the Final Four

games. Mr. Wright asked Susie Wright

to pass the rolls and she said she left

them in the kitchen. Just then the phone

rang and Tommy Wright left to answer

it. He rushed in and said Aunt Tillie left

a package for them at their neighbors

house. So Tommy left to get the package

and Mr. Wright left with him.. When

Susie came back in with the rolls there

was no one left to eat the rolls so Susie

and Mrs. Wright left to see what was in

the package. “ Whose name do you

have?
