Introduction: Action

This week, it’s all about you…

Over the past weeks, you may have found yourself developing a hunch into an idea, possibly having thought through a problem, or you may have started exploring your ‘adjacent possible’.

If so, finding yourself with a great idea is one thing, but getting that idea off the ground is another. To do this, you need to be able to pitch your ideas to others, develop your networks, and get people on board. This video explains in more detail what this week is about but, in short, we’re going to look at how to test your ideas out, develop networks, pitch ideas, and make something happen.

However, you might not have an idea or project in mind, and that’s fine too. This week is full of possibilities.

• Perhaps you’ll work on developing your skills in influencing and pitching to different audiences, and use that in your studies, your work, in volunteering for an organisation, or just to get out there and meet people.

• Perhaps you’ll come back to these skills at a later date, when you do have an idea you want to develop.

• Perhaps you are the network this week, and you spot a great idea in the discussion or comments. If you think you can help that person develop with your unique skills and knowledge, why not connect to them, and see what you can make happen?

Whatever your situation, use this time to establish strong connections with people, engineer your luck, and develop your creative habits.

You never know when you might need them…
