How do you use your gifts and talents during a business day? By using more of your multiple intelligences during a work day, you can increase motivation and achievement. See what happens as you give it a try.

I've zeroed in on bloggers who used each of the eight intelligences in a unique way. See what inspires you...

Logical-Mathematical Yvonne Russell asks how we can keep the noise down when the blogosphere seemingly shouts. Here're just a few of the statistics she shares...

Over 57 million Americans read blogs
over 120 thousand blogs are created every day
There are over 1.4 million new blog posts every day

You'd enjoy the amazing statistics Yvonne put together for this post. And, she'd enjoy knowing what you do to cut down the noise.

Naturalistic Ever consider that you could learn much about getting a competitive edge by watching Morning Doves tackle a problem. Ellen Weber did and you'd be fascinated by what these brainiac doves did.

Verbal Linguistic Acrostics can nudge ideas from our brain in ways we likely would not otherwise consider. Ever tried it as you post ideas. Steve Roesler creatively tapped the whole alphabet to show one-liners for employee engagement.

Intrapersonal Do you dream big dreams? It makes a difference in what you accomplish in life. Phil Gerbyshank's shutting his eyes and thinking about his dream of writing a book. What are you dreaming? Prime your inner attitude...

Interpersonal When we work together to point out injustice, more is likely to be accomplished for change. Karen Swim used her site to "Unite for Human Rights." She describes the horror in Dafur:

For five years the conflict in Darfur has raged on, leaving in its wake widespread murder, rape, abduction and displacement. Various estimates indicate that 200,000 to 400,000 people have lost their lives. The Sudanese government has been escalating its attacks. On May 4, a Darfuri school was bombed killing at least 13 people, including 7 children.

Spatial When I visited GL Hoffman's site the other day, I was reminded how much meaning's projected in images. Besides, with GL's wit, images bring out humor, too.

Images tell story so refreshingly...

Bodily-kinesthetic Ever consider that golf can enhance your business brain? Ellen Weber shows how...

Golf adds brain chemicals for sharper focus. A growing body of research suggests how the links hold mental benefits for business brains … beyond what most golfers realize. Perhaps more even than rich alliances and friendships gained on the course, golf keeps players in top mental form.

Musical Intelligence Do songs inspire you to push forward? If you ever hit a wall when writing or creating a project try listening to inspiring music. Music moves your brain waves and can change your mood. Here's a great example...

Moomin Light describes how music inspired her and helped move her work forward...

While I was putting yesterday's post together, I listened to "Right Outta Nowhere," by Christine Kane, over and over again. I felt refreshed when I was done. This song has such hopefullness and encouragement. I like the line "Leap, and the net will appear," which, as she explains in the video, is a line she borrowed.

Refresh your work by dipping into intelligences you often neglect. Thoughts?
