How to Get Creative Ideas Flowing

In this episode, Jeannette talks about kickstarting your creativity and getting those ideas flowing. To do this for your team as well as for yourself. Jeannette takes you through the 20-20 creative brainstorming model that she uses and teaches her mentees. A straightforward way to find time in what are often extremely busy days to come up with and capture ideas so that you are ready to act and turn them into reality. KEY TAKEAWAYS Not giving yourself and your team a chance to create innovative ideas leaves you with a stagnant business. Be clear about the target of each idea-generating session. Solving a specific business problem is a good goal. Ask your team to prepare in advance of each session. For example, familiarising themselves with the problem. In the episode, Jeannette explains how to do this in a way that does not stifle creativity. The 20/20 method means that you brainstorm for at least 20 minutes and produce 20 ideas. This provides momentum and flow, which ensures more unusual ideas surface too. Keep the energy levels in the room high. Remove duplicates, and then, as a group, prioritise the ideas that remain. For the best ideas, keep the momentum, and create a full implementation plan. Jeannette explains, in detail, how to do this. BEST MOMENTS ‘Great ideas come when we set the scene for those to be creative. ´ ‘Think about the environment… it is important to remove distractions.’ ‘It is important as a business leader that you commit to actually moving this forward.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
