The Unexpected Impact of Sharing Ideas Outside Your Circle

How are you thinking even bigger to discover potentially game-changing opportunities for innovation and transformational growth? While podcasts, books and articles can help with this, having conversations with other people can have a unique impact. While it’s valuable to deepen your existing relationships, we’ve found it’s also important to make time for sharing ideas outside of your circle with people you don’t already know. When you challenge the comfort of familiarity, you can discover even more ways of seeing, thinking, and leading into the future. This is one of the hallmarks of what we call a Growth Igniters® mindset.
For example, in this Quick Take, we share our experience of attending the first TEDx Montclair event. We discuss how powerful insights and new language emerged not just from listening to the speakers on the stage, but from conversations with attendees that were made easier by the organizers’ efforts to boost active and thought-provoking conversations with other attendees. This led to surprising and inspiring exchanges — reminding us that innovation and transformation often begin with connection, curiosity, and sharing ideas with people you don’t already know.
What new events can you speak at or attend so you can connect with people outside your circle and think even bigger? — Pam Harper
