EVERY ONE OF US IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO RECONCILE OUR DESIRE TO PLANT OUR FLAG FOR QUALITY, VALUE AND CREATIVITY WITH OUR ABILITY TO THRIVE personally & PROFESSIONALLY.
Regardless of where you are in your personal and professional life, we can all do with investing more of our time and energy into developing our creative process such that it serves us in our journey of not just exploring our ideas but doing something meaningful with them.
This is intentional time to break, to observe yourself and your work from a new point of view. This is especially vital when we feel stuck, overwhelmed or spinning our wheels. Space to freely explore and reset creates opportunities for innovation and a fresh perspective.
LET'S CHAT ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT
STEP 1
To Rally is to re-group, to come together and recover with the intent continue to move forward.
For us to be effective, we need a rally point to be able to come back to. At this stage we will implement some simple tools that are critical to fostering the creative process. These will become the foundational gathering point for our collaboration as we organize our thoughts, ideas and plans.

STEP 2
Your creativity is like a superpower, and it works best when it has some rules. After we've set up our special meeting spot (the rally point), it's time to think about the future and what you want to achieve in the next 10 years.
Instead of just dreaming big with no limits, we're going to put some boundaries around our dreams. It's a bit like setting up the rules for a game.
This helps us figure out exactly what we want and how we're going to get there. We take those big dreams and turn them into smaller, manageable steps.
This way, we can keep track of our progress and make sure we're moving in the right direction. So, it's not just about dreaming – it's about turning those dreams into real, doable plans!

STEP 3
The time to be curious, explore freely & listen openly. We'll push ourselves to be creative, set aside our pride and learn from our past experiences. Revealing new possibilities.
This is a time that can seem chaotic. We'll challenge ourselves to think beyond what we already know so we can make room to explore things we might not usually notice and typically miss.

STEP 4
We've been working hard on our ideas and there are those that are clearly standing out from the rest. That have become important. Things, concepts, outcomes and outputs that we cannot live without.
What are they? How do we describe it? What do we do with it? How do we interact with it? What does it do for us? For others?

STEP 5
Sometimes, we do cool stuff but keep it to ourselves. When what we really should be doing is sharing it with others.
I get it; sharing our ideas and thoughts can be a bit scary. But that's just a made-up story we tell ourselves. It doesn't help us achieve our big goals, only keeps us playing it safe.
So, here's the deal: People need to know about the amazing things you're doing. We're going to figure out how to talk about your ideas and show the world what you've been up to. It's not just about helping yourself anymore; it's about helping others by sharing your journey and the awesome things you've been creating.

STEP 6
Wow what a journey! It feels like yesterday we were just sitting down and starting what seemed like an impossibly challenging proposition.
And here we are. This is the time for review and reflection. The time to celebrate what you've accomplished, and pull it all apart. What happened, what didn't and what could not be denied. Who you became and what that new way of being has opened up.
