The Value of Brainstorming is Asking the Question | Simon Sinek
It's not an accident when creativity happens. We need to give our minds time to access our own subconscious by scheduling non-negotiable downtime.

So glad I do it for 24 hours then
That is so true! I was working on a project and stuck in solving a problem for days. Suddenly I decided to focus my mind on something completely different, even something in which I'm not interested! So I got out and went to a poet's kind of meeting. During two hours I tried so hard to understand what they were saying or talking about which was a complete failure to me! Then when I came back home and sat in front of my computer to resume my project, guess what? All the answers I needed for solving the problems came up in an instant moment! Magical, right! And this is what I've learned! When you're mind is stuck in something, concentrate on something different, free your mind from it and give it some space. It will work!

It’s a very privileged place to preach from, eh? The concept of workday downtime is alien to most of us. I often wish that Simon could refocus away from elite business and into worlds such as education and local government.
I love Simon and so does the interviewer. She looks at him like she wants to sit on his face...

first of all, thanks to Simon for the inspirational sharing. noticed the comments about the interviewer, personally I actually enjoy interviewing brilliant folks like Simon. To avoid the situation she's facing in this session, there's few ways to prepare for a good interview session. One is to communicate with the interviewee before the event, on the core message that he wants to share over that particular occasion, and we as interviewer can make preparation around that point of focus. Another area we can prepare is to communicate with event organizer and get a grasp of what kind of audience would be attending, and what's their expectations, that provides another layer of preparation. With someone like Simon, its best not to get in his way while he's doing the talking, but instead, when he's pausing to begin a new sentence, interviewer can take that opportunity to briefly summarise what's just been said, to help audience to refresh their memory 😊
Awesome, evertime I listen to him, it touches me deep inside. Incredible speaker.

exactly as I expect, thank's mister simon for the advices, really you are the best of the best .
Completely simple and organised ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video and ideas, I hope people are going to break free of the digital chocolate that their phone is providing. During brainstorming people can generate ideas that they would never have just by thinking on their own. I love your videos. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Spot on!
That explains a lot... I used to be super creative and eventually, when I moved in my own apartment, I started spending more and more time on the net, then I started getting more and more tensed the more I took my freetime to browse the web over and over.... Thanks! :)

Finally! Someone saying what I've been trying to tell people in my life for years! Anyone who is creative, who writes, already knew this. Where the phrase, "sleep on it" came from, too. I do my most creative thinking when I'm idle (yeah, sometimes in the shower, sometimes doing dishes). Einstein was a practitioner of just sitting and thinking. The best literature on the planet was not written after work. It was the only thing. Ask Stephen King how many of his novels would exist in their current form if he still had to teach to pay the bills?
Thanks😌💓
Merry Christmas Simon 🎅🎅🎄🎄😁😁
Indeed, it's the best thing in the world
Hilarious!!! "I can watch a movie" saw this story exactly the right time. Just averted a meltdown. Thankyou for sharing 😃
True, true,true.
We live strangers until we meet those who are able to inspire our creativity.. Those who share our values WELL SAID AS USUAL SIR 💐 BTW Merry Christmas 🙏
So true
awsome conversation

@Jeronimo Tamayo aaaah... this is the result of your personal brainstorming ?. I feel we are brainstorming in a global collective. I agree.... Living own life on the cost of others must be stopped now This is modern slavery. And when I've identified this feeling in me (within job and personal love relationship)... it was in a sudden soooo clear and easy to get my LIFE PURPOSE. Be a rebellion and a loving, caring and serving human. And in terms of DP... no... no death... I feel also compassion with his painful narcistic behaviour and childhood traumata... he did not learn how to love.

Freakin yea! For me in my limited experience with music composition, I have found that music composition is the composing of silence, the arrangement of silence.
This also ties to your other point with efficiency versus innovation.

Fast for a couple of days. Realize nothing matters and see how your actions shape your life. Things happen when you give up and unlearn everything to understand.
I purposely leave my phone in the car when I'm out.
Good to leave phone during brain storming ; sometimes however the chair person wants to have the results right after the meeting:(
I agree with the shower part, only if you have a question though. Out of the shower identify the questions.
It still stuns me how Simon could say that he isn't smart.
The lady would definitely jump on him if they were alone lmao
Anyone @Simon Sinek f.e., could give me a source for that meters thing about brain?
She is droooooooling...omg

So for me it’s not that I don’t trust my employees it’s that I have to check my phone because I can’t take one day and not have them call me and say what do I do here?, How do I do this? I have been working for years now to make processes so easy that anyone can do it specifically to stop this from happening but there is a lot more work that needs to be done.

How many middle aged or Seniors does one see in the design world? Not many....

@@victorsykes5334 You misread that. It says: "Creativity is NOT ON-DEMAND" which is true. It is very rare to be able to just turn creativity on and is near impossible to do so when someone is demanding it of you in a last minute scenario. Such situations actually tend to turn creativity off because of the unwarranted stress the individual is putting on you which is often followed by you getting angry and the idiot.

@@victorsykes5334 That's nothing. I once walked past a sign, read it and after three or four steps thought:that makes absolutely no sense at all. I went back and reread the sign and realized that I had put a completely unrelated word in place of another. I didn't replace a letter, I replaced a whole word. Yeah, those quick read glances can give you some really strange messages. 😏
Imagine having a job where you could arbitrarily block out thee hours on the offchance I might come up with something. His colleagues must love that!
I appreciate the reasoning behind the close proximity but its a tiny bit distractive...
Summary: 1. Schedule your personal Time. Be respectful of things that matter too you. It’s your time! Take control of it. Don’t let anyone else fill it with bullsh*t. 2. Ideas don’t happen so random that you think. 3. Subconscious brain- gut decisions. 4. Ask the question to yourself and let the brain work on it over a longer period of time. 5. You need to sit down and meet each other. Talk together and find real solutions. 6. All people you meet are potential friends. 7. Search for good conversations where ideas happen
What does this have to do with creativity is not on demand....
“Our subconscious brains have access to the equivalent of 11 acres of information. The value of the brainstorming is not to solve the problem, it’s to ask the question.” I look forward to the day that Simon and his team learns how to do Shamanic Vision Journey meditation. It takes what he just said to a whole new level! 😍👍🎉
Yo lady stop interrupting him and just listen!
Our God given imaginations are a tool of constant evaluation and incubation that lead to creation. Feed your mind with prayer and His Word, and live a renewed life. We're all walking each other Home. Have a great day!
I wish the interviewer would just be quiet and let him talk. Jeez!

Am I the only one finding the distance with interviewer is irritating? She leans too close towards Simon.
