Thanks for following my curiosity journey.
Stay curious, preferably with a camera in hand.
Nosy
It’s hard to be curious without being a bit nosy. But, timing is important. Intrusion for our own self satisfaction may not be welcome and perhaps even harmful. Respectful and generous nosiness is best.
What’s worth sticking our nose into today? What’s something useful we can discover?
Smaller
Most of the time when faced with solving a problem or making something, it helps to break things down into smaller more manageable and understandable parts. This approach is often overlooked in larger organizations and why they struggle to make change quickly. There are too many pieces to centrally control and manage. The better approach might be to establish the desired culture and overarching goals, create small aligned teams and let them have at it.
Bigger isn’t always better.
Celebrate
Celebrating our victories isn’t challenging. It feels appropriate and it’s fun. But, what about the failures, setbacks and unexpected roadblocks? Why don’t we celebrate those as well? One could argue they’re actually more important in terms of learning and growth.
Next time something doesn’t go as planned try reframing it as a portal to a new opportunity. How Fascinating!
Glow
The expression we see doesn’t always represent someone’s true self. What’s underneath the momentary burst of emotion? Perhaps there’s an inner glow if we choose to see past the mask.
Fresh
Like most craftsmanship, fresh is quite inconvenient…which is another great reason to seek it out.
Sliced
Viewpoints are like onions. There are many layers. And, how we slice them really matters.
It’s hard to fully comprehend an assertion without understanding what’s driving it.
Access
Who has access to our thoughts, ideas and creations? Why are we sometimes so protective of them? What good are they doing locked away?
Open is often better than closed when trying to spread ideas.
