Discover this little known technique used by a world renowed creativity genius

Imagine millions of molecules at a standstill. Then imagine nudging one of these molecules to get things going.

At first, there is practically no movement at all...

Then, as one molecule bumps into another, and another, and another...a chain reaction is started and pretty soon it's a whirlwind of movement that's hard to stop.

Have you heard about lateral thinking?

Learning how to think laterally can be tricky. People tend to rely on logic and critical thinking, so getting them to step off the beaten path is often challenging.

Most of us are used to a step-by-step system, so the easiest way of helping someone how to think laterally is by providing structure to their thought process.

This "coaching quotes" strategy is one way to easily learn how to do this.

Coaching quotes lateral thinking strategy

• Step 1:Think about a problem or challenge that you have been unable to solve or that you are stuck with.
• Step 2:Choose one or several quotes at random. It doesn't matter how many quotes you find, some will resonate more with you, others might not make any sense. Just keep reading quotes.
• Step 3:Associate the quotes with the problem and explore the new possibilities that open up.

For example imagine you are helping your client think about how to improve their lives. Help them choose an coaching quote at random. Lets say: "There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them." Then let them associate it with their own experience.

This could allow your client to understand how he or she is labeling circumstances as good or bad and by doing so it may open up the way to reframing how they look at things.

I've included a random coaching quote generator below so you can start using this strategy immediately.
