How to Connect
People and Ideas
Let’s start with the three
     basic essentials
IDEATOR
   Where the idea comes from
The lead in the connection process
IDEA
   A thought, conception or notion
Usually defined by a “EUREKA!” moment
PEOPLE
    The community around you
Consisting of a collective conscience
who will help move your idea forward
What do you get
 when you combine
these three elements
    successfully?
EPIC
RESULTS
IDEATOR


          EPIC
         RESULTS


PEOPLE             IDEA
Not so fast.
There are some
important steps
 to this process.
Beginning with a
      remarkable idea

“Something remarkable is worth talking about.
Worth noticing. Exceptional. New. Interesting.”
                                  -Seth Godin
What is your
remarkable idea?
Next, share that
  idea’s story
Story Elements

Inspiration                  “Eureka!”
              Character

 Origin                    Message
              Direction
                              Purpose
  Importance              Meaning
Who do you tell
the idea’s story to?
People who will stand by your
  idea, carry it forward and
  spread it throughout their
        communities.

     Those people are...
Idea
Anchors
Idea Anchors are the filter of credible
information. They are the ones that keep
    you connected to the information
          you are interested in.

   Idea Anchors earned their trust and
respect by sharing valuable and reliable
     information. They are a source of
         confidence and vital part
           of the world today.
Who can be
          Idea Anchors?

 Newspapers        Blogs      Mom
                                       Co-worker
Brother
              Friend          Sister
                                           Dad
   Personal
               Businesses
    Trainer                      Dog Walker

          Artist            Hair Stylist
Idea Anchors are trusted
    thought leaders in their
    anchoring communities
  “Anchoring communities help us manage information.
     Without my social network online, I would be in
information hell. Creating anchors helps people feel part
      of a community while helping them navigate
              the digital never-neverland.”
                                            - Nick Bilton
Idea Anchors play a critical role in
        the connection process




IDEATORS   IDEA ANCHORS   IDEA SUPPORTERS   SLAGGERS
Which is why opening a
    dialogue with
Idea Anchors is crucial
The difference between
   dialogue and a discussion
“A dialogue is all about give and take. It is about active listening, not for
the sake of getting your point across or waiting for your turn to speak, but
for the sake of learning. Learning is all about destroying old concepts and
preconceptions.

Discussion leads people to hold separate points of view, while dialogue
can lead to shared meaning.”


                                                              -John Winsor
Connection Process

1) Have a remarkable idea
2) Share the idea’s story
3) Find your Idea Anchors
4) Open a dialogue with them
5) EPIC RESULTS
IDEATOR
   Dialogue           Remarkable
