The Connection Diaries, Ep. 9: Suprising Results

Surprising Results: Cracking the code on how to produce more with less time, money and stress

When people are surprised by their own accomplishments, energy and vitality go up. By designing surprising achievement into our project roadmaps, this element of surprise isn’t just a happy accident, but something we can cause and leverage for greater efficiency, progress, and joy.

In this episode, Mickey Connolly and Robin Anselmi share the four things that are most critical in the design of Surprising Results:

1. Identifying the problem. Take on a question that we don’t yet have the answer to that’s difficult or, perhaps, seems impossible.
2. What larger issue does that problem sit inside of?
3. Get the system in the conversation and involve diverse points of view.
4. Designing the cycles of achievement.

To find more of our insights and tools on Surprising Results, you can explore this section of The Vitality Imperative and it’s online resources.

We will be hosting a live 30-minute conversation on this topic next week. You can register for that conversation as well as all of our upcoming webinars on our Community Gatherings page. We will continue to explore this topic and many others related to how we stay connected and keep creating value in challenging circumstances, so stay tuned for future episodes of The Connection Diaries.

If you and your community have been having inspiring conversations and ideas about how to navigate the COVID-19 reality, we would love to hear about them! Please comment below or connect with us on LinkedIn. Let’s unleash our collective brilliance.
