Sharing research on Creative Breakthrough Emergence: A Conversational Accomplishment by Romi Boucher, PhD
Although many people WANT to be innovative and creative, in all kinds of organizations and situations, being that way and generating creative and innovative products with others is a hit or miss affair.
Curious as to what conversational patterns I might find associated with creative breakthroughs if I observed and analyzed two creative groups engaged in a communication product design for loosing-market-share midwestern greeting card company, I conducted case study research using a robust communication theory, the coordinated management of meaning, CMM. Over a four-month period in 2012, these two groups generated three creative breakthroughs as validated by creative breakthrough criteria. Six specific conversational conditions were found to facilitate creative breakthrough emergence in these collaborative workgroups. I share about the research and the findings in this video.

Introduction
U&Me. John Stewart
U&ME is a not a text, a research report, or a scholarly publication. It’s a communication self-help book, written to be as accessible as possible to laypeople. Although I don’t use CMM language, the book is about building better social worlds by using insights from interpersonal neurobiology to apply practical communication strategies and tactics in eight life arenas: online, dating & courtship, families, work/business, learning situations, politics, multicultural situations, and spiritual and religious contexts. The book urges readers to improve the quality of their lives by making their communication “as personal as possible” in all these arenas. Communication porofessionals will recognize the references to communication turning points, dialogical philosophy, Iaian McGilchrist’s work, Dan Siegel, mindfulness, media multitasking, relational dialectics, social networks, family metamessages, empathic and dialogic listening, constructivist learning theory, courageous conversations about race, facilitation and social capital, and microaggressions. But all these are presented in simple language and applied in real-world situations. The goal of the book is to help as many people as possible make their communicating as personal as possible.

John Green’s Commencement Speech 2013
A CMMish commencement speech given by John Green in 2013.
“For the rest of your life you are going to have a choice about how to read grafitti in a language you do not know. And you will have a choice about how to read the actions and the intonations of the people you meet. I would encourage you as often as possible to consider the possibility that the lives and experiences of others are as complex and as unpredictable as your own.” — John Green
