Recently, I was interviewed by a great online magazine, Lingk2us. Their goal is to bridge the gap between faith and popular culture. Though I think that gap is narrowing more and more these days.
They've posted most of this interview on their site (HERE) in the form of six audio clips in which I discuss:
• The nature of creativity
• Recapturing your creative spirit
• Keys of effective brainstorming
• Experiencing a creative block
• So what is an Imagineer?
• Inspire your team
Besides personal coaching and inspiration, these clips could well be used as a good teaching tool with your team at work, a classroom setting, youth group, your writing group, or an evening salon with chocolate cake, tea, and McNair. Listen to one clip and then discuss my comments as to how they apply to you.
Have a listen and please come back and leave a comment here at the old Tea blog.
(On the Lingk2us home page there is a large photo the rotates among the five main stories. I am story No.3. Click on the "3" to get to the story and audio clips, or use the direct link—HERE.)
And . . . a very Merry and Blessed Christmas

Hey McNair,
I just listened to the entire interview. It was nice to hear your voice again. I want to share some it with our church's creative team...especially the segment about brainstorming. We have a bad habit of shooting down ideas before they even get on the board. I also posted a note on my blog with a link and your mug shot. Good to hear from you. You made an impact on me at the Blue Ridge Writer's Conferences. I really appreciate and admire what you do. Thanks.
Merry Christmas!

THanks for stopping by, Gene.
Good to "hear" from you. I'm speaking at Jerry Jenkins' Scribblers Camp in Feb. (Colorado Springs) Any chance you'll be there?
I'm doing a passel of seminars and the final night (sat.) keynote.
