If you’ve ever wanted guidance on how to overcome the barriers that hinder progress and productivity, tune in now!
Show Notes:
- In order to take action on new ideas or information, make sure they resonate on an emotional level, not just an intellectual one.
- If an idea doesn’t resonate emotionally, seek out conversations and discussions with other people to gain a deeper understanding and emotional connection.
- If you’re not engaged on three levels—head, heart, and gut—you won’t take action.
- Look for personal excitement and a sense of achievement or “win” when engaging with new information.
- When working with teams, ensure that new ideas engage all three levels. They should make cognitive sense, excite people emotionally, and provide opportunities for personal contribution through action.
- Proper strategic planning when making major decisions, where you consider all aspects of the project before taking action, is also essential. Haphazard approaches don’t work.
- To avoid lack of engagement and poor or incomplete results, fully engage and commit to projects you’re interested in.
- Recognize how your environment influences your behaviour too.
- Motivation is the starting point in the creative process. Once you understand this, everything gets easier.
