Breaking the Rules through INNOVATION!

Sip of the Week: Innovation is not just about creating something entirely new; it's about seeing things in new ways, adapting to change, and finding creative solutions to challenges. It's about stepping outside of comfort zones and embracing curiosity and experimentation. This week Laura talks about some of her own experiences where she embraced innovation and found new opportunities and satisfaction and fulfillment in her own life. She talks about listening to that little voice inside each of us, and how to step out and take action even when it feels hard! Listen here to an amazing conversation with Laura.

Let It Brew: What is holding you back from innovation in your own personal or professional life? Are you afraid of questioning the status quo? Are you trained to not listen to your gut, and do you keep ignoring what it is trying to tell you? Are you worried about not being liked, or are you trying to avoid being seen? Take some time to journal and reflect on what is limiting your innovative spirit. In the same exercise ask yourself what is at stake if you do not make a change, and also consider what might be different if you DO try a new twist on old patterns and habits!

Post-Tea Pursuits: This week, listen to your internal voice and challenge yourself to approach one task or project in a completely different way than you usually would. What is the area that discontent or creative ideas keep popping up around? What would it mean to actually make some shifts to see what happens! Maybe it is merely brainstorming ideas, tackling a problem, or organizing your day differently, but try a new approach that pushes your boundaries and encourages innovative thinking. Take note of how this new perspective influences your outcomes, changes your insights and in what ways it impacts you and others around you!
