Producing and considering many alternatives: Finding freedom in the options

Want a good idea? A great idea? It's by generating multiple ideas that you create the freedom of choice and have the best chance of finding that golden gem. While ideas are not solutions, generating lots of ideas invites us to dance with possibility before we move toward decision making. 

We would love to hear from you any thoughts, reactions, or takeaways you have as you’re listening and we invite you to tag us @the.idea.gym on Instagram.
