night knowing that our talents and
abilities were used in a way that
served others.”
― Marianne Williamson

7. “Don’t ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive,
and go do it.
Because what the world needs is
people who have come alive.”

10. Brainstorming Rules
•One conversation at a time. Listen to
everyone’s ideas.
•Aim for as many ideas as possible
•No idea is a bad idea; No judgement/ criticism
allowed at this stage
•Say “Yes and” not “Yes but”. Build on the
ideas of others, instead of blocking them.
•Encourage wild ideas

11. “In order to have a good idea,
you have to have lots of ideas.”
