Returning to our best of Killer Innovations series, we dive into the importance of reading for the innovator and some stimulating books to stir up your creativity.   Building a library of inspiration in your innovation studio ensures you have a ready source of ideas. This inspiration library can come in the form of a collection of innovative books. I am a visual learner, so reading books is where I often find my inspiration. I will walk you through some essential books and explain why I value them. My Design Innovation Books The first book is "Frank Lloyd Wright: A Visual Encyclopedia." I grew up in Chicago, where the author started and became famous. Personally, this book reminds me to create my style. Frank Lloyd Wright separated himself from others. He developed his style and put a different spin on the design of his buildings. The next book is called "A Pattern Language" by a professor at UC Berkeley, Christopher Alexander. Used by the original Sims game developers, the author breaks down patterns found by building houses, cities, and other buildings. While you can't apply what is in this book and apply it directly to a product or service, the book teaches an important idea. You can generate a certain feeling or experience through your patterns and designs. "Designing Interactions" by Bill Moggridge is the third innovation book in my library of inspiration. The author focuses on designing experiences and offers important insights into the origins of Google and others. The fourth book on my list touches on what to do with design, where problems can occur, and how to avoid them. It is "The Universal Principles of Design" by William Lidwell. My Creative Innovation Books The fifth book is "Thinker Toys: A Handbook of Creative-Thinking Techniques" by Michael Michalko. In my opinion, this is a book that every innovator should have. The book brings together tools, approaches, ways to brainstorm, uses of SCAMPER, etc., that are very useful for innovators. Pretty much anything that Michael puts out, I buy. Another book is "Six Thinking Hats" by Dr. Edward de Bono." His TV show on PBS introduced me to the innovation and creativity space when I was a kid. Over six or seven shows, Dr. de Bono, taught viewers about unleashing their creativity, which sparked something inside me. The book is a great reminder to change your perspective and keep a fresh mind and is a great piece to have in your library of inspiration. Fun Books I Keep Now I will share with you some fun books I keep that make me laugh. The first is "The World's Worst Inventions: The Craziest Gadgets and Machines Ever Made" by Jack Watkins. This book discusses some inventions that have been deemed stupid by many. Ironically, some of these inventions have gone on to be successful after this book was published. The next book is "Fail Harder: Ridiculous Illustrations of Epic Fails" by Failblog.org Community. This book humorously discusses human failings and reminds us of our human nature.

In this episode, Erica talks with Shahzad Khokhar. At only 14 years old, Shahzad woke up to his purpose. Over the years and across continents, he has remained steadfast in his deep rooted knowledge of that purpose. He shares what that purpose is and how living with purpose, intention, and choice has guided him through life's adventures.   Mentions and resources in this episode include: Shahzad's Business: araZach Emergenetics John Maxwell and his 21 Laws of Leadership THINKERTOYS, by Michael Michalko   You can learn more about the Defining You podcast and host Erica Hansen, at DefiningYou or at Life Integrated Coaching.

In this She Words episode, the host Alicia Ramsey shares information, inspiration, and principles in the conversation entitled, Becoming A Better Leader. According to Michael Michalko, the author of Thinkertoys, A Handbook of Creative-Thinking Techniques, a successful leader knows how to take challenges and create opportunities. The leader pays attention to the problem, converts the crisis into a chance, and decides which option is pursued. The world is rapidly changing, so leaders must prepare to adapt. Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (NRSV). As Christians, we believe that Jesus was a leader who did not change, but every effective leader in the world must be prepared to adapt to this changing environment. We also discuss how leaders must adapt to different generations. John J. Sosik and Dongil Jung, the Full Range Leadership Development authors, share, "Each generation brings different values, mindsets, and ways of living." An effective leader can facilitate change and influence other generations to complete the mission to solve issues. This She Words podcast contains the first episode that includes an "Embrace the Exceptional" moment for families of children with special needs or what we like to call—exceptional needs. The host shares five quick tips that you can give to family or friends that want to know how to support your child with exceptional needs. Listen and share on the She Words Facebook page.

En el episodio anterior, conocimos cinco (5) razones por las cuales la creatividad es importante. De igual forma, escuchamos los consejos del Dr. Roger Firestien sobre cuándo podemos usar la creatividad para resolver desafíos. En este nuevo episodio, cubrimos dos temas en una sola emisión. Conoceremos cómo funciona la creatividad y cómo podemos desarrollarla. Iniciamos este podcast con un interesante ejercicio mental que expone Franc Ponti -Profesor español de Creatividad e Innovación en EADA- en su libro: “La Empresa Creativa”. Esto, con el propósito que calentemos motores y entendamos un poco cómo funciona la mente creativa. Continuamos nuestro proceso de comprensión de cómo funciona la mente creativa a través de las enseñanzas que nos brinda Michael Michalko, experto en creatividad y asesor de clientes en todo el mundo y autor de los famosos libros: “Thinker toys (A Handbook of Business Creativity)”, “ThinkPak” entre otros. Exploramos la importancia que tienen la intuición y la incubación en el proceso creativo. Culminamos descifrando cómo opera la creatividad en la mente humana y cómo podemos desarrollarla con el enfoque integrador que presenta en su libro: “El Pensamiento en Montaña Rusa-creatividad en tiempos sin tiempo” el argentino Germán Castaños, Director y Fundador de la productora IdeaVIP, columnista sobre creatividad empresarial, entrenador internacional de balonmano y profesor en Educación Física. Al final de este episodio se brindan 9 consejos que nos ayudarán a desarrollar la creatividad. Esperamos que disfrute de este nuevo episodio, que logre entender cómo funciona la mente creativa y que se convenza que la creatividad sí se puede desarrollar. Deseamos que pueda poner en práctica los consejos que se han compartido y que pueda incrementar un poco su nivel de creatividad. ¡Con seguridad disfrutará del proceso y podrá ver los retos de una manera distinta! ¡Muchas gracias por su atención e interés hasta el final del episodio!

The Coronavirus has played havoc with my interviewing schedule. Melissa Rogers was to be my next episode, and she may be my next guest, but I had to cancel her interview due to the travel restrictions caused by the virus. So, while I am regrouping and rescheduling and had the ideas in this episode on my mind, I decided to present them now. Solving the pandemic and ending the deaths of people caused by the coronavirus is the major problem facing our globe at the present, but this problem has created a second dire problem, which is the threat of the collapse of national economies. These two problems have created a division within the United States over which is the primary problem to solve. Some fear that the collapse of the economy could be worse than the effects of the virus. We need a way forward that helps us solve both problems. In this episode I offer my thoughts on two sets of resources that I believe can help us more forward more productively. They are Glen Stassen's seven steps to peacemaking and the creative thinking tools of such people as Edward de Bono, Michael Michalko, and the ideas of William McDonough and Michael Braungart.

With an actual weekday off, this 5th of July, I took this time to chat with my buddy Joe Johnson about the motorcycle business. I love talking about ideas with folks looking to serve powersports folks and find new ways to do that. Joe and I get down a rabbit hole or two about our thoughts on serving powersports dealerships and how these dealerships can get more accomplished with less wasteful energy expended.  Some ways that reps like us can help our dealer clients be better:  Get nosey in their business.  Train to NOT Judge A Book By The Cover – Joe’s “Elvis Story”  Help in Differentiating – Reps can bring perspective in this.  Building Advocates and Evangelists.  Move From In A Rut – To A Place of Creativity for Growth.  “Here you go competition!” – Alpha Guy secret (LOL) The Strength of Looking Inside VS Outside your organization - in building Evangelists aka Influencers.  Entrust Your Staff To Gain Their Creativity Unlock.  The Idea Box to Grid Out/Plan New Idea Implementation (It isn’t what you’d think!) Barista style competitive tip jars approach.  Plug into Creativity. Embrace “Skippy level” ownership freedom from management to staff.  Dealership fiXit Episode 14 with Ryan McPherson here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/need-insight-on-sort-pg-folks-you-should-hire-ryan/id1449367603?i=1000430366176 Keep the needed SOP but add perspective to know what needs changed, example thru communication with your outside vendor reps.  There are a couple books he recommends you pick up if you like some of the ideas he keeps as go-to for how to best serve “Thinkertoys” by Michael Michalko - http://creativethinking.net/#sthash.pss0C7YW.mWM32h10.dpbs “Steal Like an Artist” by Auston Kleon - https://austinkleon.com/steal/ Link up with Joe here: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-johnson-78abb010/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/joseph.d.johnson.56 Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/Powersports-People-331038881155600/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARACFgxZuh0ZFMPJAVwD927WexgAFgdJvqC0afZk9v1k2VhtdWC47KcnOcJJvsEadRsBCZg7Q0fCgEi3 The company Joe works for (as I’m sure you are aware of if you’ve worked in powersports industry for more than 5 minutes) - Tucker Powersports: https://www.tucker.com/ If you want to discuss anything talked about in this podcast or my others, please email me at: dealershipfixit@gmail.com Dealership fiXit is a podcast about sharing ways to make your dealership better.

I'm currently taking a holiday break from my regularly scheduled episodes, so for the next few weeks, I'm running my six most downloaded episodes. I'll be back on the first of the year with brand new episodes! In the mean time, enjoy these "Best of" episodes. In this episode, I talk to paranormal magician Joe Diamond. We go into detail on publicity stunts and how to get the press to notice! We also have an interesting discussion on "Pay What You Want" pricing structures and he mentions an awesome resource that you probably already have but just aren't using! Joe Diamond is a paranormal magician from Chicago Illinois. Just in his twenties, Joe has been able to turn his fascination for the paranormal into a full time career and has an amazing understanding into the workings of the strange & bizarre, often defying the boundaries between what we assume can and can't be done. He was the youngest First Place winner of the “Close Up Magic Classic,” an award given in Colon Michigan, the Magic Capital of the World and now performs his paranormal magic all over the country for private parties, corporations, and theaters. Four years ago, Joe performed the world’s largest mind reading demonstration: completing a 33 acre cornfield maze while blindfolded, finishing in less than three hours. In fact, with his public demonstrations, Joe has been able to get more attention from the press lately than a good old fashioned Hollywood scandal.

Bestselling creativity expert Michael Michalko, author of Thinkertoys - and of the new book, Creative Thinkering - agrees with Julie Ann (as she shares in her 3-book series, "A Creator's Guide") and our ConsciousSHIFT audience that, in every field of endeavor — from business and science to government, the arts, and even day-to-day life — natural creativity is often limited by the prejudices of logic and the structures of accepted categories and concepts.
