Dynamism at Work

Done with Boring? Research shows that talking heads and voluminous slide decks won't get you to innovation when you want to create strategy.  Sadly, your team will only regurgitate old ideas out of that deadly brain fog. No need to get depressed, now YOU can... Create Dynamism! We've been percolating & testing new ways to Up Your Creative Genius in team workshops for some time. This week we launched our Building A Dynamic Workshop board game that you can use to create your offsite and come up with awesome and engaging design!  I use it every chance I get.  This week, I worked with a leader using the game to design a 1/2 day session with her leaders that used a variation on the board game Clue to up their detective skills so they could solve the mysteries of their management structure!    Designing your next strategy, vision, process improvement or conversation-filled offsite should be engaging and fun. This board game helps you involve your client design team in the design and delivery of each part of your team workshop. Why not bring out and build the creative genius in everyone? This is a perfect tool for learning and development, HR, OD, or admin/associates and business consultants!  Don't let your eyes roll back in your head when the event planning falls on your shoulders!  Arm yourself with an awesome Creative Genius Toolkit!

The Secret Sauce of Success   Wondering what your next move is? Where your next career path is lurking or how to step up some aspect of your life? Tune in to this study: Ohio State University researchers have been exploring a concept called "upward self-revision" of our "possible selves." Sound intriguing? uh yah! The study explored key contributors to student success.  Researchers focused on how painting a positive picture of a future career path would influence the student's confidence and eventual success in achieving it. Translated into action it means when you help someone picture a future possible self, they are more likely to believe it could be reality and begin working to achieve it. This is why coaching, mentoring, encouraging and positive connotation is so critical to helping others become more of their best selves.  Picturing that future you is part of it. Hearing others validate you is another ingredient. It builds your inner confidence. One of the reasons I love speaking to coaching groups is that they are able to immediately embed the vision to reality drawing process into their work.  What better way to help someone step up their game then to draw them a picture of the future state they desire with them in it!  Watch them step through obstacles with that added boost of the picture and their belief that it is possible.  That it is evolving right now. Goal setting with a powerful positive intent. Lead a staff?  Have children?  Have friends?  Those few encouraging words that you say to them can go a long way. Do someone thing great for someone around you today. Paint a picture of the their future self and seal it with something positive, it's the secret sauce to success.
