Recently I participated in a brainstorm that one might describe as a flop. Sure there were pages of ideas on the wall. And yes, people were engaged but there were two critical elements missing….permission to hitchhike and permission to make popcorn. In this particular brainstorm an idea was set in stone. Therefore other [...]

Inspiration and ideas are everywhere….if we are paying attention. If we aren’t paying attention, if our antennas are down, great ideas just pass on by like a quick breeze outside our office windows. We don’t see it and we certainly don’t feel it.
In my keynote speeches to individuals and organizations trying to be more [...]

Ideas, ideas, ideas. Isn’t that what we all want…that great idea that inspires us? Finding ideas that blossom into gold is easier than we think. Often it’s about letting ideas you already have percolate versus constantly pulling out the idea magnet and dragging it over the sand in hopes of finding more and more ideas. [...]

Are you watching the winter Olympics? WOW, intrigue, crashes, beautiful people, awards….it has it all! Olympic athletes are a great source of inspiration and motivation. This year I’ve been paying close attention to not just who is winning, but how they are behaving as well. Whether it’s downhill, cross country or ice skating here are [...]

Have you ever hosted a workshop or brainstorm where it seemed as if every comment began with “yes but”? Where every build on an idea was actually a “yes but” judgment from the person in the corner?
There always seems to be one if not more in the room and it can turn any possibilities [...]

You’ve all heard me say it…..Dream big. Dream often!
Do you daydream? No, I don’t mean two seconds of wishing while you are at the stoplight. I mean vivid, techno-color daydreams. Picturing the life you want or the outcome of a meeting or the purpose of a relationship in so much detail you can actually feel [...]

This weekend, while pushing a double stroller up a slight hill, my 5 year old told me to pick it up and run. Normally I would tell him not to talk to me like that, especially because I’m doing all the work, but today I felt a strange urge to do just that. I can’t [...]

Innovation really does come in all forms.
We laugh, we make fun of and yet secretly we wish we came up with it! I was recently having lunch with some friends, one of which was bragging about his “man purse” or “satchel” as he tried to convince me. Then, the very next morning I found [...]

I believe that the outsourcing of innovative thinking, talent and processes is a huge mistake that ultimately costs organizations tremendous time and money. This has been the subject of multiple articles and conversations recently. Most of them say the opposite. Bring in external thinking while decreasing internal costs. Stay lean and focused by outsourcing innovation, [...]
