A few weeks back my team & I were prepping for an in-person conference for our clients and we had several presentations to collaborate on.
As we were brainstorming the final parts of our presentation each of us bought to the table something we had saved in our notes over the past months:
- I had listened to a podcast that sparked me to think about a concept in a different way.
- A colleague had read a book that prompted her to think about mindset & manifestation.
- Another colleague had heard a sermon illustration on ‘shifting gears’ that gave us the perfect metaphor.
Each of us had collected these things randomly — not because we needed them for the presentation (or even knew we would use them in the presentation). But just because they sparked something in us.
And eventually they came together perfectly to help us put a nice bow on our presentation.
