We made a trip to Barnes and Noble... my favorite bookstore.. Hope it survives a bit longer (as Borders we found out is closing....)......

This was a super-cool book I found to help one with improving creative thinking and being innovative. I am still looking through it. It's jam packed full of interesting ideas. I picked this up in hopes I will use some of these tips/strategies/exercises with students in India when I do some college interaction sessions.

The book is for sale by clicking here - astore.amazon.com/authenticjourneys-20/detail/1580087736

I have already done some sessions on motivation and goal setting - see a video of my experience at Jai Bharath College. In the video, I talk about the session I did and some cross-cultural observations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWumLxnhDlk

Visuals to help flesh out the house and castle metaphors. You just have to ask the right questions: What are we afraid of in the basement? Who is our knight in shining armor?

Design Thinking is the unity in the diversity of cross-cultural visual communication.

Beginnings are always messy.

~ John Galsworthy​

Creativity is messy sometimes. Doing something that's never been done before takes a lot of experimentation. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't. Highly creative people are not bothered by the messiness because they know the messiness leads to great inspiration and discoveries. When faced with challenges, allowing things to get a little messy can result in insightful, inspired solutions.

People take the longest possible paths, digress to numerous dead ends​, and make all kinds of mistakes. Then historians come along and write summaries of this messy, nonlinear process and make it appear like a simple, straight line.

~ Dean Kamen​

Design Thinking is a framework within which various techniques are uses including the essential skill of Edward de Bono's lateral thinking techniques.

Design Thinking understands the power of 'the space between things'.

Design Thinking is an engine to everyday progress.

Design Thinking is a road that has many 'up-ramps' which form bridges across our everyday limitations.

Design Thinking moves us from one level of awareness to another.

Design Thinking works best when one has a 'prepared mind'.

Design Thinking results in design for emotions.

Design Thinking has a process that is visualized in many individual ways.

Design Thinking results in 'valuable' outcomes.

Design Thinking moves as swiftly & smoothly as a metaphorical spider on a concept net.

Design Thinking influences extends beyond our current areas of learning.

onesquigglyline.com/onesquigglylineblog/2014/11/25/live-g...

Design Thinking is most mature when it works to fight the 'self-persisting I, me & my'.

Professional Development workshops

Curiosity is one key trait of creative people and creative thinking. To increase your own creativity, be curious and ask lots of questions.

This image was created in celebration of World Creativity and Innovation Week (April 15-21 every year) www.WCIW.org

This is a synthesis image of some feedback I was given on my visual thinking work a while ago. The same format can be used for any number of topics or situations.

Design Thinking is the difference that makes the difference in management.

Three of six posters created for a workshop at MindCamp, Canada's Creativity Conference. All six posters were also combined to create an accompanying visual handout.

Design Thinking oscillates between flexible actions and sensitive feedback.

Design Thinking calls on the individual to play many roles, all of which are held within an 'action frame'.

Design Thinking has outcomes that are not finite but rather are infinite, as they lead to a multitude of alternative outcomes.

Design Thinking revolves around the key concept of Unity in Diversity.

Creativity takes courage! The rewards often result from risks taken.

This image was created in celebration of World Creativity and Innovation Week (April 15-21 every year). www.WCIW.org

Design Thinking is a road that is always under construction.

Design Thinking echoes models that are used in musical composition.

Visual thinking makes thoughts visible to you and others so you can both see them more clearly, understand them, and make the best decisions about them.

Design Thinking ultimately is responsible for putting new options on the table.

Words and images are most powerful when used together. This image compares and contrasts the characteristics of both.

Design Thinking can only strive to achieve the beauty and elegance that exists already within nature.

"I just know it won't work."

~ Everyone, at least once

Ideas can be pretty sneaky at times, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. But even sneakier are the things we think and say that prevent us from creating.

"I know they'll think it's a crazy idea."

~ Everyone, at least once

A lot of times, creativity squelchers surface when when we jump to conclusions instead of taking the time to look at the whole picture. Other times, the need to conform to strict guidelines and rules (such as at work) prevents us from creating. Fear of being different or taking risks squelches creativity, too.

"I'm just not creative enough for that."

~ Everyone, at least once

Although creativity squelchers are not things we want around, knowing they lurk in the shadows unarms them a bit. After all, you can't sneak up on someone who knows you're there.

Being crazy isn't enough.​

~ Dr. Seuss​

When brainstorming, it's common advice to go for wild and crazy ideas. People are often reluctant to share crazy ideas because they're, well, crazy. But it is often in the crazy ideas that the most creative, and even practical solutions lie.

Dreams are most often profound when they seem the most crazy.​

~ Sigmund Freud​

Design Thinking challenges assumptions to unpack the essential structure of a model.

Three of several dozen signs created for a preschool parent activity night. All signs were created with construction paper and glue sticks on poster board.

Design Thinking follows the principles of interactions in nature.
