Daily Inspiration: “Let’s light up your mind with moments of creative inspiration, through the lens of the trends that will shape your future!”

“Let’s light up your mind with moments of creative inspiration, through the lens of the trends that will shape your future!” – Futurist Jim Carroll

I debated whether I could use this photo or not – it’s an extract from a film reel, and not very clear. But it gives you a picture of what my job looks like from my side of the stage!

It also neatly summarizes what I do. I was on the phone the other day with a potential client – a large builder. He wanted a session that could accelerate the creativity and agility of his team, to deal with the fact his world is becoming faster.

I explained to him that he could find a lot of speakers who might come in and talk about their secrets for creative success – but that’s not what I would do. He seemed taken aback – until I explained that I would first outline the key trends providing both opportunity and challenge for his organization in the future. From that point, I would then have the right frame of mind to put into perspective the opportunities for creativity that would flow from those trends.’’
