Fascinating Carmen! I loved the deep dive into thoughts and yes mine often come when I am doing something completely unrelated. I LOVE the idea of the LeadHers feature, I feel as though it fits in well with your current publication. It’s the exact sort of thing I love reading, always so interesting to learn of other lives/experiences and no doubt inspiring too xx
Catching ideas is such a challenge for me! Sometimes i feel as if i am overflowing with them and overwhelmed by how I could possibly get them to all fit together. Do I need them all? Are they right? When and where and how will I share them? Turns out, for me, scribbling them all down is the best way to start. And then trusting my intuition and inspiration. Many of them fall by the wayside, never to be thought of again. Some are made manifest years later. And, a few of them become real sooner rather than later. I suppose what I am trying to say is that I’ve learned to trust the process. But I still get overwhelmed! 🙃
This was so relatable! I often have ideas during the day while doing random things and often I forget it before I can note it down. It is frustrating at times but sometimes, when I am calm the idea comes back to me. Balancing my various interests is something that I struggle with too. I love your idea of LeadHers and I am looking forward to the series! All the best :)
PS: I absolutely loved this "I prefer a base of creativity, mixed with a grain of gut feeling and realistic thinking, including a pinch of good conversations and to serve, baked over time. "
Your description of ideas popping up unexpectedly, like during a shower or bike ride, is spot on! It reminds me of how creativity often thrives in those moments when we're not actively trying to force it. It's like the mind needs a break from conscious effort to allow those deeper, more intuitive thoughts to surface. It's a beautiful paradox, isn't it?
Loved reading this Essay Carmen. It’s funny. How could I have been reading your writing for months but miss that your starting point was leadership. My brain didn’t clock this and somehow transformed your purpose/work into ‘creativity’.
I share this in the hope there’s something here. If nothing else, make it about me 😉💞
My day job is all leadership focused. I’m a big yes for LeadHers and the feature in this publication. Why in this pub? Because it integrates rather than separates parts of you.
