    Last week was the longest year of my life. (Yes, I am so tired that I’m quoting memes!) 

    Last week drained many of us in the US, so this week is aimed at getting you advice via voice. Take a moment to check out a couple of podcast episodes that I really enjoyed recently. Listen and enjoy!

    Earlier this week, Jessi Hempel of LinkedIn interviewed Natalie Nixon about cultivating creativity on the podcast ‘Hello Monday.’ I really enjoy starting my week listening to these conversations as Jessi does a great job connecting with her guest, and bringing unique stories and perspectives to the conversation. Creativity is such an integral part of the DNA of how a tech company operates that I wanted to highlight this conversation. 

    • Podcast episode (~30min)

    • Highlights:

      • The definition of creativity: "It’s our ability to toggle between wonder and rigor to solve problems."

      • On fostering creativity: "It's much more about being equipped to fall in love with process versus being solutions based and solutions-oriented.  We can exercise and cultivate creativity through what I call the three 'I's. And the three 'I's are inquiry, improvisation, and intuition."

      • Creativity is a muscle that anyone can exercise, and more people should as it will help you to be a better employee.
