What drives innovation, fuels passion, and opens doors to uncharted possibilities? It’s curiosity - the relentless desire to question, explore, and understand. In "The Unstoppables" Memory Book for the #Me2We2024 Fest, I am thrilled to feature Pratyush Thakur, who embodies this spirit of curiosity. His journey is not just a testament to resilience but also to the transformative power of asking "what if" and "why not." Through his unique lens, Pratyush has explored new horizons, challenged conventional thinking, and made an indelible impact. His story is a reminder that curiosity isn't just about seeking answers - it's about embracing the journey, staying open to possibilities, and letting curiosity fuel unstoppable momentum. Let’s celebrate curiosity, determination, and the power of moving from "Me" to "We." What are you curious about today?

A quote for your afternoon on creativity and new ideas. Great little read if you're scheduling some workshops in the coming weeks: "It seems to me then that the purpose of cerebration sessions is not to think up new ideas but to educate the participants in facts and fact-combinations, in theories and vagrant thoughts... If one person mentions the unusual combination of A-B and another the unusual combination A-C, it may well be that the combination A-B-C, which neither has thought of separately, may yield an answer."

Just over 3 weeks out and ONLY3 SPOTS REMAIN! You might want to grab yours sooner rather than later. “To me, the most meaningful part of the training is that there are many factors, brain chemistry included, that are behind the way we interpret conflicts or differences. Not everyone who disagrees with us are the enemy!! We can explore other dimensions or people’s worldviews to better understand their perceptions and differences.”  - 2024 Art of Hosting Program participant Jerry and I bring an introduction to #worldviews and Worldview Intelligence into the #ArtofHosting trainings we offer. It is where the whole #worldview adventure began over a decade ago when we started working together and Jerry was doing his PhD on worldviews. And, of course, the Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter includes all the essential patterns and practices that help us understand #peopledynamics on both the micro and macro levels - even in our signature 2 day intensive. We decided to offer this February #AoH in #Minnesota as one way to focus our own energies and intentions, to bring people together in #community so we all grow much needed #skills and #knowledge to work with the #challenges and #opportunities that show up when we convene groups or we host staff meetings. PM us if you have questions. We would love to have you join us and we would love your help in getting the word out by sharing with your friends, colleagues and networks - particularly in Minnesota and nearby states. #RiseToTheChallenge #RiseToTheMoment #ChallengingConversations #TeamDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment #Hope

💡𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥? 💡Why is most of your thinking habitual? 💡How can you rediscover your ability to think freely? 💡And become more innovative and creative?   These were some of the big questions I addressed in my public talk at FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences Aachen on Monday. We had a fantastic audience - the Q&A session lasted longer than the talk itself!   If you're interested in boosting your ability to think freely and innovate at scale, but missed the talk, check out my forthcoming book "The Seven Sigma Mindset", which is full of resources to help you shatter the self-imposed limits on your creative and innovative potential.

🌟 Perfectionism Is Holding You Back! 🌟 Our obsession with perfectionism permeates our thinking. Instead, we should be advocating for 'Good Enough.' If we know that perfectionism is an illusion, why do we discuss it at all? Instead, we likely believe that perfect is not only possible, but probably, and by fixating on perfectionism, we've lost our ability to negotiate incremental gains. Perfectionism is everywhere in society, from Instagram to your office meeting. Bob Goldman surveyed professional athletes and asked them if they could take a drug that would guarantee them a Gold Medal but kill them within 5 years, would they? 50% answered yes. Shocked at these results, he repeated the survey 5x over the next 10 years with exactly the same results. If 50% of athletes are willing to die for a perfect performance, do we really think perfectionism is an illusion? No. And we are 100% afraid to fail. We saw this play out wildly when in 2015 Volkswagen executives and engineers were so obsessed with perfect car performance that they knowingly installed subpar emissions software. As long as the focus is on progress it's ok. The risk is when we say "good enough" as a way of giving ourselves a way out from doing the hard work! 🙌 "If we give our children permission to pursue "good enough," we will grow adults who as the future CEOs and Political leaders are willing to compromise. Corporations can make a huge change by moving away from cultures of fear and moving towards cultures of innovation." ~ Charly Haversat TED in 3 minutes: https://lnkd.in/eJ8CSvsF ---- 🔥 Become Unfireable: future-proof your finance career! 🔔 Ring my bell if you speak finance and accounting! 💻 Check out my website for current and future courses and daily inspiration! 📧 I welcome DMs from Finance Professionals wishing to elevate their Excel skills or want to reignite their career with purposeful coaching! #TedTalk #PerfectionismMyth #MindsetMatters #BalanceOverPerfection #PerfectionismTrap #GoodEnoughMindset #FinanceProfessionals

My favorite definition of creativity, that I feel can’t be beaten, is by Sir Ken Robinson and the All Our Futures committee. We’re lucky to have the responsibility of sorting Sir Ken’s archive, so I’m excited to find this in the working material and manuscripts. Understanding the key word for me, *process*, is crucial. Creativity isn’t about the final product; it's about the journey of exploration, experimentation, and iteration. It's the ongoing effort to connect ideas, try new things, and refine your approach. Embracing creativity as a process allows us to value the steps we take, the mistakes we make, and the learning we gain along the way. This mindset not only fosters innovation but also encourages continuous growth and improvement. How do you see creativity? Do you have a favourite quote or definition you’d be happy to share? If so, I’d love to see it! Please leave in the comments below. #Creativity #CreativeBusiness #CreativeLiving #EverydayCreativity #ThinkDifferent

Embracing the imaginative power of ‘what if’, ‘if only’, and ‘if this goes on’, this article explores how speculative thinking, inspired by seminal works of science fiction, can guide us in reshaping our approach to the uncertainties of the future. By examining alternative realities through literature and applying these concepts to real-world scenarios, we can foster innovative solutions that prepare us for tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. #ScienceFiction #WhatIf #IfOnly #IfThisGoesOn #Innovation #FutureThinking #QueryPlanning #ThoughtProcesses #SpeculativeInquiry
