Thinkingshift is
ThinkingShift is the blog that accompanies my website www.thinkingshift.com. My website focuses on diverse subjects ranging from knowledge management to complexity theory. My blog will further my explorations but will also give me an opportunity to indulge in other topics that interest me or keep me awake at night:)-
Topics such as sustainability and global climate change; endangered species; knowledge and information management; privacy and the surveillance society; and anything that is just plain weird, bizarre, disturbing, wonderful or curious.
For those who want to put a face to a name, here’s a picture of me (Kim Sbarcea) in Nicaragua (I don’t live there, I was visiting). I live in Australia. You can contact me by leaving a comment on the ThinkingShift blog or you can email me at k.v.sbarcea@thinkingshift.com

Why is your photo labeled “in Nicaragua” if you are in Australia? Why are you interested in libraries?

Hi John
I travel to interesting places in the world as much as I can. I very much liked Nicaragua, hence a lot of my photos are from there (also Namibia, Brazil and Portugal). I’m a former librararian and maintain my interest in the library world as it’s pretty exciting stuff!
Thx for visiting ThinkingShift.

Hi Kim - I stumbled across your blog while searching for the nexus of Pos. Psyhcology & Servant Leadership - what a find! I love how you think and how you write! I am fascinated in your Knowledge Management concept and tapping into the strengths of the aging workforce — love the engineer story, too.
If you haven’t already, checkout http://www.positivepsychologynews.com — a group of fellow alumns from the first-ever Masters in Applied Positive Psychology at The University of Pennsylvania write columns each month on applications of PP in the workplace, medicine, education, life, etc. Warm regards, Margaret

Hi Margaret
Thank you so much for your kind comments and welcome to the ThinkingShift blog! I will most certainly be checking out the link you provided. I know of the Masters at Uni of Penn - it sounds fabulous. I am very keen to further my explorations into the power of PP, particularly to my area of expertise, which is knowledge management. I hope to do many future posts on my thoughts and will welcome your feedback.

Hi Kim,
Great entry on Europe — I know France well, as I was brought up there and lived there for about 30 yrs. now Working in Aus. and have no intention to return….
The psychological impact of unemployement, low wages, low opportunities is terrible - across all classes in France. And the immigrant violence is appaling. I was sickened by the anti-war stance in Irak, which amounted to bolstering Saddam and his psycopaths. Europe is wallowing in leftist group think, suicidal pacifism and a beleif in big govmt. Steven Den beste had a great website covering this, with French engineers and such writing in .
very sad, considering the refined culture that is dissapearing.
Keep up the good work.
