?Among the interesting questions I was asked from mentees, was about the brainstorming process and thinking outside the box and I would love to share it with everyone.
?‘The most important thing is not to be afraid of bad or silly ideas when you are in the brainstorming process and not to judge yourself nor your creative teams. This is not a job interview; it should be a fun and enjoyable process of which bad and silly ideas are a part of. This is the way to find the most 'out of the box' ideas, because they are boundless.'
