My key takeaways
Over the years I've had many nicknames that refer to my childlike qualities. My time with Paul was music to my ears as we both sing loudly from this same him sheet! Paul has had a very successful career and this quality has been at the forefront. He's even written a book called Little Wins: The Huge Power of Thinking Like a Toddler.
Much of our conversation, at some level, referred to a child-like mindset; a child doesn't recognise failure, instead, they use this opportunity to learn what not to do. They don't believe something isn't possible until they work it out for themselves. They continuously ask the right people for support and if they fall, they get back up. This valuable part of our character lends itself so well to the divergent thinking we need to utilise in order to create change for maximum impact. A great reminder to me that a fixed mindset doesn't support the change we want to create...EVER!
Our minds are where all great creations begin and unfortunately, often this is where they stay. No matter how out there an idea might at first seem, always sound these out with others. Those ideas were born with passion and therefore deserve your attention, even if they go no further.
My time with Paul is jam-packed with lots of little gems that all focus on turning a dream into a reality. From our vision to practical application. Enjoy!
