mavening
Welcome to the conversation.
I just thought to let you know that I have updated my website: http://www.geoffreybaines.org.uk.
My hope and intention is to keep this updated on a regular basis - maybe even something every day: a thought or book or a question or a link to something important and/or good.
It’s a mavening thing.

What’s mavening?

Thanks for asking, Angela.
Maven is a Yiddish word and means one who accumulates knowledge - but not for the sake of knowledge but for the sake of others, to help solve their problems and to make sense of their own life. I like that.
Malcolm Gladwell writes about connectors, mavens, and sales-people as three key types of people in ‘The Tipping Point’.
