Think big. Break down barriers. Creatively address change.

Too often, we feel constricted by organizational or industry rules to think big about what’s possible. We think in terms of why something can’t happen rather then uncovering how something can be achieved. Language like “that’ll never happen” or “we’ve never done something like that before” limits our thinking, while business-as-usual work keeps us focused on the shorter-term. This 5-page tool allows you to explore larger questions shaping your business as well as break down barriers by exploring big thoughts.

This Tool Contains:

A customizable worksheet (in PDF format) that you can use for your sessions. It also comes with complete and comprehensive facilitation guidelines including:
  • Suggested audience
  • What you need to set-up prior to the session
  • A detailed explanation of how the exercise should be run
  • Suggested materials
  • Recommended timing
