‘Switched on’ innovators and leaders are either delusional or visionary.

Whichever way, they see breakthroughs that no-one else can see... and make them happen.

BREAK WITH THE OLD PATTERNS / RULES TO CREATE NEW ONES

“Sudden bursts of insight - the Aha! or Eureka! moment - come when brain activity abruptly shifts its focus. The almost ecstatic sense that makes us cry “I see!” appears to come when the brain is able to shunt aside immediate or familiar visual inputs.”

MARK JUNG-BEEMAN'S LAB, NORTHWESTERN, EDGE.ORG

THE MYTHBREAKTHROUGH LEADERSHIP & INNOVATION IS ABOUT “GETTING” NEW IDEAS / CONCEPTS

“It turns out that the ability to stop oneself from thinking something is central to creativity.”

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, 2012

THE TRUTHLETTING GO OF THE OLD PATTERNS THAT BLOCK BREAKTHROUGH

“The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.”

What is the problem I perceive right now? Am I prepared Switch On -and stop reacting, start observing and follow it to its origins?

What pattern is being triggered now that causes this to be a problemfor me? Is it familiar to me? How does my mind and body react?

What (painful) beliefs and assumptions do I have about myself andthe world that underpin this pattern?What causes me to believe in these assumptions? What scares memost in these moments?What memories do I associate with these beliefs?
