THE BIG IDEA
So, any ideas?
Hate to admit it, but this is one question I don’t like thrown at me, especially in this not-so-sane corporate world.
Typical scenario? Your CEO or manager has a plan for an app, product, content, or ad. Shares their thoughts on what they envision. And then goes.. ‘‘Do you have any ideas on how we can execute this?’’
No, Sir! I don't exactly go around wearing a cap full of ideas.
But do you have the balls to blurt that out?
I guess not!
I mean it’s helpful if it’s a team meeting, and you and your teammates have to go in turns.
That way, you can at least creatively repeat what someone else has said (God help you they don’t ask you to go first😂)
But really, what do you do when you have no ideas when put on the spot?
