Many agency owners feel like their clients are putting them in a box of specific skills they're able to perform for them. And for many of us, that's not a good feeling. We're wired to think creatively and break free from that metaphorical box, but it can be hard to communicate that to our clients in a sea of competition. So, it's time to break out of that box in 2025.  That means we need fresh ideas, innovative thought leadership, and non-obvious thinking. And there's nobody better to talk to us about this than Rohit Bhargava, from Non-Obvious Company. He knows exactly what it's like to be put in a box creatively, but he's even better at breaking out of it.  For years, he's taken a hold of the status quo to challenge it, question it, and ask more of it so that he can stay ahead of the conversation and shape it to better serve his clients — and his agency.  So join us to get inspired to do some fresh, non-obvious thinking in this week's episode.

Rohit and I came together in January when I moderated a virtual panel as part of one of Rohit's big ideas: the first annual Non-Obvious Diversity Summit. The week-long event featured more than 50 sessions on topics ranging from workplace ageism to racial justice to diverse casting to women in tech, food and culture, and more. Now, less than ten months later, the summit has been turned into a book. “It's not like there is something that is non-obvious for everybody.” - Rohit Bhargava In today's show, we talk about how to cultivate creativity, what it takes to make a more inclusive world, and why Rohit reads magazines for farmers. He shares how he cultivated his creativity out of his discomfort of being someone who wasn't supposed to be creative and how we shouldn't let titles or labels limit us.  We also talk about the power of brainstorming, and why being creatively confident can be the key to your success.

Rohit Bhargava is on a mission to help the world be more open-minded and assist us to see the non-obvious ideas. A Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Rohit's insights into upcoming trends are used globally by businesses such as the World Bank, NASA, Intel, Disney, Colgate, Coca-Cola, Under Armour, and NBC Universal, to discover what's next and set themselves up to win the future. Rohit spent 15 years in leadership with agencies Leo Burnett & Ogilvy and founded of the Non-Obvious Company to highlight future trends & innovations. What's not a trend, but we think or say it is? Trends are about the human, not the thing like a technology. Rohit explains. How does Rohit deal with the identity of being the non-obvious guy when an idea seems too obvious? What lesson did Rohit learn from the great David Ogilvy? What's his filter for curation? What's the Hay Stack method? How should we catagorise or qualify our ideas in the Hay Stack model? Why have we become what Rohit calls "observationally lazy?" We are suffering 'infobesity'. Is there a process or system we can use to be more intentional? What's Rohit's internal narrative when he is out and about? Annie Liebovitz said we need to "learn to look." Would Rohit agree and how would he suggest we train for that? How does Rohit store his ideas for easy recall some years later? What's the process for speed understanding? Are writing skills something that we should consider improving? Is there an important trend Rohit is following that he thinks is critically important that is being ignored? Why does Rohit love the Olympics? How could we foster observation and creativity in our children as they grow? What's the author trying to say with the Non Obvious brand? What's his prediction for the future trend in podcasting?

TEDx Speaker Paresh Shah shares why being a “lifter” is the new way for a new era on how to be a better leader.How to Be a Better LeaderTake a moment to reflect the qualities of a bad manager. The manager may have talked down to you, rarely communicated expectations clearly, and blamed you for everything that went wrong. You may even still have nightmares at night.Now, shift gears and think about the qualities of a good manager. What comes to mind? Is it someone who listens to your ideas? Maybe that leader created an environment where it was okay to provide input, serve customers through problem solving, and made the work experience a rewarding one.Who is a born leader anyway? No one! Leaders are made not born, and any one of us can learn how to be a better leader if we give it continuous effort.Leadership is not About a TitleThis episode is not just about how to be a good leader and manager. Leadership is not just about a title or position. That is a huge misconception we have. Yes, there are those with assigned responsibilities for a team or project, and then there are the rest of us.Leadership is influence. Influence comes from relationships and trust. With that requires a shift in mindset on how to become a leader in life.That is where Paresh Shah and his concepts around Lifter Leadership comes into play.
