What Are You Measuring?
Posted by Bill Crose on September 13, 2019 at 11:33am 1 Comment 1 Like
A lifetime ago, my training department colleagues and I were satisfied with training data. We cranked out the requested ILT programs plus the "flavor of the year" content, we kept a busy training schedule, and made sure the coffee was always the right temperature. When accused of not delivering effective training because the learners didn't perform as they were trained, we took refuge in our management support role and not ultimately responsible or accountable for LEARNING or productivity.…

GLN 2024 - Kintsugi and Humor?

What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi isn’t just a method for fixing and repairing broken pottery, though. It also serves as a metaphor for healing and recovery, suggesting that breakage and repair are part of the unique history of an object, making it more unique and resilient.
When objects like vases, bowls, glasses, or cups shatter, instead of keeping cracks invisible, they’re rebonded using melted gold. This gold not only remains thick and conspicuous but also enchants the beholder’s gaze and touch.
Central to this art form of repairing cracked pottery is the belief that our flaws and breaks enrich our lives, urging us to carry them as badges of honor. It’s a way to treat broken pieces with love and respect and remember the history attached.
From Kintsugi, we glean wise insights into existence, like:
- - We are delicate beings, but not unrepairable
- - There is strength and allure in our flaws
- - We can embrace our imperfections and be proud of how they’ve helped us grow
“It symbolizes how we must incorporate our wounds into who we are, rather than try to merely repair and forget them.”
— David Wong

What is the "melted gold" that restores shattered lives and relationships? Might it be humor?
