Show Up!

The most important factor in goal

attainment is whether we decide to show up. Deciding to show up is

a choice.

Creativity and innovation are a

mindset. How we are conditioned to think is

the deciding factor.

Think Differently

@KevinCSnyder

How can you think differently about that

challenge?

Could it really be an opportunity?

Innovation is like skydiving. Once you jump outside your

comfort zone, you want to do it again.

Innovators know that success is a result of

persistence through the ‘squiggly lines.’

Innovation comes when you least expect.

Geico is a great example of how one

company thinks differently to innovate. They break traditional

rules.

… of the average person’s thoughts are negative

@KevinCSnyder

It’s impossible to innovate if your mind is

crowded and busy. Quiet your mind.

Meditate. Relax. Reflect. Creativity will flow.

Perception~ Grow your comfort zone.~ Develop a constructive

view of failure.~ Break some rules.~ Uncrowd your mind.

Pike Place Fish Market is an example of how a

company innovated with a focus on people.

@KevinCSnyder

It’s not about the fish. It’s about the employee

and customer experience. Empower

your employees to innovate. Ask & listen

to your customers.

Anything is possible when you have a vision.

At 12 years old, my vision was to meet Bob

Barker.

Your vision is what makes you unique. If no one has ever said your vision, or dream, is too big or crazy, then it’s

not big enough!

People~ People watch.~ Collaborate with other

departments.~ Socialize outside your

normal circle.~ Vision makes anything possible

Once the vision has focus, then the process to achieve it becomes

paramount.

You cannot think your way to success.

Next are some examples of how to

identify your process ….

“You’ll be more

successful in less

time when you have

a PROCESS.”

@KevinCSnyder

You have 5 minutes to come up with at least

30 ways to use a paperclip

A paperclip can teach us quite a bit about

how to think differently.

Process~ Strategy is imperative.~ ‘Ideation Stations’~ Whiteboard~ ‘Worst Idea’~ Journal
