Connecting Brilliant Minds & Creating with Idea Partnerships

Published: April 29, 2020, noon

I actually have three different sets of Creative Idea Partnerships, which are sometimes called thinking partners or thought partnerships.

One is a BIG IDEA Sistermind where I work with two brilliant HIGHLY educated women exploring big ideas. We also have some of the same struggles in overcoming all fun things that women tend to face like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, fear of failure, letting go of knowing the outcome – ALL the creative blocks.

I also have monthly sessions with a Creative Idea Partner in the business world where we brainstorm and clarify ideas for the next step in our businesses.

And finally, I have a writing partner, where we trade pages and chapters, give one another feedback, brainstorming help, and the occasional kick in the ass to actually write pages.

This whole idea is all about the power of the collective, expanding your OWN brainpower by using the brainpower of other brilliant creative minds in your circle.

To set up effective idea and though partnerships, it’s super important to be intentional. So listen in for some tips and ideas on setting up your own creative idea and thinking partnerships in order to help you get your ideas out of your head and wild heart and into the world.

In this solo episode, I discuss:
  • Setting your Intention for your Creative Idea Partnership – think about what you want to create and how you want to create it
  • Who you want to work with and how you choose them
  • How to structure your sessions
  • And what to do after your session is done
