Weapons of Mass Distraction - giving you extra firepower!

What is the Think Tank?
Generally a Think Tank as defined is a place where ideas are created and formulated. This is just the purpose of The Big Picture Think Tank. A place to get extra conversational pieces to give you more in your arsenal to talk about.

Once upon a time, almost a lifetime ago, Haylee and I used to manage a variety of clubs, bars and restaurants. Why is this relevant to a blog? Well, spending so many nights in bars certainly does teach you some things about the human interaction dynamic. What is most interesting is watching folks interacting with people they don't really know. Some people are plain naturals at it, others really struggle. One of the best lessons I evet learnt as a bar man was the trick of making sure that I read the local paper before each shift. This would give me the necessary conversational pieces to get me through a shift - having some good stories to talk about with the customers instantly relaxed them, and the engaging made for a lot more pleasant exprience for all involved.

The same strategy can be applied in everyday life. Think for a moment about those individuals that seem to shine in most social situations. They are the ones that have interesting conversations up their sleeves, ready to pull out at any given moment. The Big Picture Think Tank is here for just that purpose - giving you some interesting conversation pieces, well researched, and indepth enough to give you a head start in any situation.
