As a kid, I LOVED Play Doh.
You can make anything out of that stuff.
But nothing was worse than opening the can only to discover my brother had mixed it all up and let it dry out (it was ALWAYS his fault!)
The ideas we bring to our practice every day are just like Play Doh.
We’re not going to get far (or very creative) if we keep working with the same old, stale, dried up ideas.
So next meeting (you are having meetings, right?!), open the lid on some fresh new ideas.
Put them on the table, stretch them out and see what your team can come up with.
(And whatever you do, keep them out of reach of your brother!!!)
