Home - The Gap App. A Project Based Educational Service & Learning Community

Between stimulus and response there is a space (The Gap App). In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl

We are a learning community, sharpened by “Real” human intelligence, gained through “Real” experience. We believe in preserving the knowledge and expertise that made America great. Would you help us progress toward our mission today by sharing some expertise, advice, a story, or some good old-fashioned words of wisdom?

What is a workforce connection? Your knowledge, experience, advice, or even a favorite quote that might help someone improve their thinking. Try your best to support what you say with illustrations or examples to help listeners make a connection. Think of it as a bite-sized mini-lesson, just one nugget of truth for others to connect with | Pro Tip: Share something from your favorite book and relate it to personal improvement so others can make a connection to their own life, in the “Real” world…it’s that simple 🙂

Who is this for? We want to preserve the priceless knowledge, experience, stories, and general wisdom that made America great. We cannot forget the lessons of the past! The Gap App is for anyone willing to share this wisdom AND those eager to engage in personal growth in a refreshing way from “Real” people, not the internet.

Why should I share? Have you been frustrated by customer service lately? Do you see a decline in some basic workforce fundamentals? Do you believe that the American people are experiencing more or less loneliness and isolation these days? Does social media help us experience the deep connections that human beings need? Are we learning too heavily on technology to solve our problems?

How can I get started? You can share a “Workforce Connection” in writing or audio/ video form. If it is in writing, we will convert it into audio (using an audiobook voice) to make it easier for others to access.

Please email me, James Finlen- James@thelocalboom.com | I have 20 years of experience teaching and coaching in the public schools and am now dedicated to expanding this “Learning” community. Would you give me the honor of sharing your best advice with others?

Why do I need to send you an email?

View explanation

This is a community, so we want to make that personal connection first. After you share your workforce connection, I will be seeking community members to have on the podcast to dig deeper. Is there anything else? Yes, a big part of our mission is to fight loneliness and isolation, which the Surgeon General says is now an Epidemic. This means we have a vision for this learning community to interact. We really want to make sure that artificial intelligence, spammers and bots are not invited to this party…so please just shoot me an email.

Are you struggling to think of what to share?

Help me out

The best advice—in business and life—primarily results from asking the right questions. Great thinkers seem to agree with this. For example: Carl Jung: “The right question is already half the solution to a problem.” Thomas J. Watson (IBM CEO for 40 years): “The ability to ask the right question is more than half the battle of finding the (right) answer.” Oprah Winfrey: “Ask the right questions, and the answers will always reveal themselves.” Albert Einstein: “If I had an hour to solve a problem…I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper questions to ask, for once I know the proper question, I can solve the problem in less than five minutes.”
