Innovation is important because we don’t want the same old solutions that give us the same old results. That's why I'm breaking down how to come up with creative, innovative solutions to complex problems; even if you don’t consider yourself a creative person. In this episode, I talk about the problems that get in way of being able to come up with innovative solutions, what divergent and convergent thinking is, and how you can use those types of thinking to come up with innovation solutions either for yourself or in a group setting.

What is a transformational message and what should be included? Transformational messages can be used to connect with your audience on a deeper level and inspire them to take an action related to the message your sharing. However, there's a little more to it than just telling them what you want them to do. In fact, there are three key points that should be addressed in each transformational message in order for them to be as effective as possible. Including all three of the points I'll be discussing in this episode, will help you reach a wider range of people and allow them engage with your message more fully, creating a better experience for them and deeper connection to you.

As an idealist, you have a vision for how you would like the world to be. Unfortunately, that vision doesn't always come to fruition and that can be incredibly discouraging. In my early twenties, I went through a painful experience of realizing my world wasn't what I thought it was and it left me questioning who I even was. It led to depression and a feeling of hopelessness but I was able to find something stronger the dreams I had lost. I was able to find real joy. In this episode, I talk about that journey and why it's so important to embrace our pain and disappointment to help us find a stronger hold on our idealistic views, our mission, and our voice.

Have you ever been unsure of how much of your personal life and world views you should share with your audience; especially on social media? When I first began putting my voice out into world publicly on social media, I found myself deleting a lot of posts because I never knew if I was sharing too much of my personal life. It was confusing and overwhelming. Over time, I was able to find the balance between sharing enough to allow my audience to connect with me while not sharing so much that it scared them away.

If you could ask Bill and Melinda Gates one question, what would it be?

Do you put forethought into how you want to show up to a conversation or do you spend more time worrying about how the conversation went, afterwards? In my experience, it's more common for people to regret the way we came across in the past than plan for how we will show up to the future. If you don't want to have regrets about 2018, listen to this episode and integrate these three practices into the end of 2017 so you can show up to 2018 as the no-regrets YOU you want to be.
