idea generation

Do you truly know yourself? Have you ever wondered about your multidimensional identity —the many layers of who we are and to whom— and the role it plays in finding your purpose? Well, Sakshi Shukla knows, and she's going to take you on her journey of self-discovery. Today, I delve into a profound conversation with Sakshi about her transformation from a medical professional to a successful content strategist, and the pivotal role self-awareness played in this journey. And of course, how she found purpose in all of this.

How can we make an informal brainstorming session, full of possibilities and quick thinking, into something more formal… without squeezing the life from it?

Alexandre Eisenchteter believes deeply in the power of brainstorming sessions — and that most of us undervalue them. It’s a fair point: the prevailing view does seem to be that brainstorming is a chaotic and unstructured process. But, when Alex is facilitating, the opposite is true.

When facilitated with care, brainstorming can provide us with a deeply collaborative and creative approach to problem-solving. Alex explains his approach and how you can adopt it in this episode.

Find out about:

• Why brainstorming is an untapped goldmine for facilitators
• What many of us get wrong about brainstorming
• How to use a number of different tools to optimise and enhance your brainstorming session
• Why it can be such a struggle for clients to translate the outputs of a workshop into day-to-day changes
• How an initial ‘scope meeting’ can prevent misalignment further into the workshop process
• Why good things happen when we stick with ‘bad’ or unpopular ideas for a little longer
• How to prevent a workshop being a mess of ideas and, instead, a greenhouse for big changes

Are your kids able to fit in with the rest of his or her classmates at school? Are they able to freely express their individuality?

In this episode, we delve into the concept of "the box" and discuss how it relates to the education system and our children's development. The box represents the systems we exist in, such as the political, social, and educational systems. These systems were not designed to cater to everyone's unique needs and abilities, resulting in many individuals, particularly children, feeling like they don't fit inside the box.

We focus on the education system as an example, highlighting how it primarily caters to a specific group of students while leaving others feeling inadequate or wrong. In addition, we also discuss the need to recognize the existence of the box and understand that it is not our children who need fixing, but rather the system itself. By acknowledging the limitations of the box, we can advocate for change and push for more flexibility and individualized approaches to education.

We explore the importance of empowering children by helping them understand the box and its limitations. By fostering a sense of self-worth and emphasizing that their unique abilities are valuable, we can encourage them to break free from the constraints of the box and embrace their individuality.

Ultimately, the goal is to expand or even eliminate the box, creating systems that cater to the diverse needs of all individuals. By doing so, we can nurture a love of learning, empower both children and teachers and pave the way for a more inclusive and adaptable future.

In this amazing conversation with innovation expert,  Jeremy Utley,  we explore the powerful skill of Ideaflow. This simple, proven approach is absolutely essential for anyone who wants to solve problems better in their life and business. As he says in his new book, "every problem is an idea problem"—you don't necessarily need a better idea, you just need a lot more of them.

Jeremy is the co-author of the book Ideaflow and Executive Director of the Stanford d.school, where he researches and teaches ways to design life and business in a better way.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• What is life design?
• What is Ideaflow?
• Quantity over quality is the greatest predictor of good ideas
• How to break the cognitive bias around ideas
• You're a terrible judge of good ideas

ACTION STEPs FROM THE EPISODE:

2. Get into the habit of noticing problems.

During lockdown in the UK, Amber launched an initiative called The Global Reset  whose mission is to ‘accelerate gender equality one idea at a time’. Amber was compelled to create The Global Reset after reading an article by Helen Lewis in The Atlantic, an American publication, which revealed that women were severely affected by the Covid-19 global pandemic.

As well as chatting about The Global Reset, Amber talks about her family unit as a mother to a 10 month old and a four year old, how her close circle of friends have been a source of strength during Covid and her love of the open sky.

You can find out more about The Global Reset here: https://www.theglobalreset.org/

Have you ever been stuck, confused or lacking in ideas? For me, being trapped in these mental states comes down to a lack in one resource: Creativity! 

Whether you know it or not, you are an infinite creative being. The real question is: are you using this superpower?

In this power conversation, I have a great chat with my friend Wendy. She is an author, ghost writer, teacher and master of how to generate that creative flow we love as business owners. 

What you may find surprising is that most of this comes down to your own beliefs and also your daily practices. Yes, creativity is like a muscle, and if you aren't putting it to work, you may find it slipping away.
