Steven Johnson is an author and speaker and I just love this rendering of his talk on innovation. (Thanks, Maryl, for sending it to me!) Check out this 4-minute video, and I recommend watching it on your full screen, because it moves fast and there’s alot to take in as Steven describes how slow hunches become breakthroughs! Perfect stuff for us coaches. :)
What sparks the flash of brilliance? How does groundbreaking innovation happen? Answering in his infectious, culturally omnivorous style, using his fluency in fields from neurobiology to popular culture, Johnson provides the complete, exciting, and encouraging story of how we generate the ideas that push our careers, our lives, our society, and our culture forward.
