Idea pollination
/Yesterday I met 9 new people. I am spending the week with them as they have joined the organisation I work for, and we are taking them through an induction process.
I was blown away by how many new thoughts and ideas I was pollinated with after spending just a few hours with these people.
It reminded me of the benefits of changing my context on a regular basis, whether it be hanging out with a group of people for a completely different background to mine, or changing the time and way I get to work, or reading a book on a subject I would not normally read.
Old ideas I have been sitting with for years get new life as left-field ideas come into my consciousness. New possibilities and ventures are born.
