Ready to be inspired?

I’m here to talk about the story of great ideas.

Sometimes, innovation just happens.

But if you change your way of looking at the world, you can find inspiration everywhere.

But I’m sure you’re wondering.

Why “Laterally”?

Lateral thinking is according to the All-Knowing Google, “the solving of problems by an indirect and creative approach, typically through viewing the problem in a new and unusual light.”

That’s what this is about.

We find the the bits and pieces that make us see the world differently.

When we see the world differently, then we can enliven our imaginations through the clashes of what we thought we knew about the world and a new, broader appreciation of its complexity.

There’s a science to creativity and a world of research to dig into.
