The Secret to Unlocking Innovation

Innovation brings success. Apple is the most successful example of innovation but there are many other companies which have been successful thanks to innovation.

The question is: what are the keys to innovation?

1. Have confidence in your abilities

More specific than having faith in yourself, it is vital to know unequivocally what you can bring to the table, and what you cannot. Know your strength, know your craft, whatever it may be, and hone it to the highest level possible.

Be an expert at what you love to do and make no apologies for your greatness. However, having confidence is not to be confused with arrogance. Know the difference.

Be the best, offer the best, be different than any competition.

2. Don’t be a fool, keep it simple

Great innovations make our world more efficient.  They are able to see a problem, simplify the problem to provide a simple and practical solution.

When solving a problem, ask yourself, “what process, service or product in our world is too complex, inefficient or poorly conceived.  How can I make it better, by keeping it simple?

This process takes discipline, it takes will, knowledge, research, time and focus – only thru these process will you be able to Innovate.

Moderation is the ultimate exercise of willpower.

3. Create the need.

In order to truly innovate, you must identify a need that is not currently met and fulfill it creatively.

Wherever there is a need, there is an opportunity for improvement. Innovators are able to think beyond traditional models and execute their vision!

Overcoming the Fear of Criticism

You have this great idea and can’t wait to tell your friends and family about it. Unfortunately, they don’t share your excitement and give you a thousand and one reasons why it won’t work and why you can’t do it.
Before you know, you start to doubt yourself and agree that the idea will not work and wasn't a good idea after all. 

Criticism is the one form of service, which everyone gives too much and tend to provide without a measure of consequence. 

For many, speaking in public is one of their greatest fear, why?  because of their fear of being criticized by the audience. The first step to overcome the fear of what others might think of us.

For some reason, what people think of us becomes a factor in our achievements. It can have such an impact, that unfortunately, many are limited by other people’s opinions.  In most cases, it affects people's personal life, professional performance, success, and achievements.

You have to decide who you want to be in control of your thoughts and life.  Who's it going to be? you or someone else?

Inspire and empower people in all aspects of their life is one of our core values as a company.

TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More

Team Capabilities are part of your Social Skills - a component of your Social Competence.

While Social Skills, in general, are related to your aptitude at inducing desirable responses in others - Team Capabilities relate to your ability to create Group Synergy in pursuing collective goals.

People who have this competence usually:

• Model team qualities like respect, helpfulness, and cooperation
• Draw all members into active and enthusiastic participation
• Build team identity, spirit, and commitment
• Protect the group and its reputation
• Share credit for all accomplishments

As important as individuals are to an organization, the unified team effort is key - teams who tend to coordinate their efforts toward company goals are always more successful compared to companies where individuality is the norm.
