Packing up a house is apparently a new form of brainstorming.
My hands are doing something mindless, so my brain wanders. Even with music playing in the background, I think. Ruminate. Wonder. Second-guess. Go down rabbit holes. Brainstorm. Make connections. Think BIG.
When I hit a wall, I have to stop, put my feet up, and drink some water.
My brain, however, doesn't ever stop...so what happens when we give ourselves a little time to wonder and meander?
Maybe that's also why I love bringing people with different backgrounds and job titles into the same room. The CNA has something to teach the physician. The social worker has something to teach the nurse. The person sitting beside you may see something you don't. Because this subject is bigger than your job title.
Yeah, our jobs create different experiences, but how often do we get to share them with someone we don't really know? Sometimes the best things happen when we share those connections.
Apparently, my moving boxes have become my strategic planning retreat.
No registration required.
