A giant-sized issue this week: One hundred seconds of your mentoring intervention. Welcome to the end of Season 1, our last episode, wrapping up our nine flavors of Brain Balm, creative ways to massage your message. We covered three categories of Brain Balm: The practical approach, aspirational ideas, and the silly path to producing progress.

These ideas are not meant to be mutually exclusive. In fact, there’s clearly overlap among many of the approaches we’ve shared. The point is in the outcome, in the deliverable, and a process that you can rely on to bring you to the promised land… that is, the landing that YOU promised to your team, your boss, your clients. Give your ideas, and your partner’s ideas, a chance to breathe and blossom. 

Here are the nine flavors of Brain Balm: 

Practical Approaches:                      

• Heal the Pain
• The Toothbrush Test
• Deeper Inside the Box

Aspirational Approaches:

• Stand on the Shoulders of Giants
• What Would Midas Do?
• The Blank of Blank

Silly Approaches:

• It’s Opposite Day!
• Neapolitan
• Let’s Go Crazy!

We’ll bring on Season Two on September 3, 2020 and help you break out of your comfort zone! Let me know what you think and share your own ideas: [email protected].
