All of us will go through some form of hardship in our lives. Some people will move forward, but many would give up.
This video entreats us to focus our eyes on the goal. It reminds us that if we keep forging on, we will see the fruits of our labor, but we won't have this opportunity if we give up so easily.
Without failure, there is truly no measure of success, so we must strive to use failure to catapult us to greater successes.
Key Points from this Video:
Everyone has to go through difficulties, but one must not quit
Success is failure turned inside out
When things seem worst, you must not quit

A well-known, rags-to-riches motivational speaker, Les Brown has a message to tell. And he's been telling it to people all over, inspiring them to live life to the fullest.
Fear is one of the greatest success inhibitors for many people. Yet, Les Brown reminds us that it doesn't have to control us. There is something in all of us that will motivate us to push past the fear, because it is more important than the fear. But one has got to know what the "it" factor is or be willing to find it.
Key Points from this Video:
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the knowledge that what you want is more important than your fear
Know what it is that makes you keep going even if circumstances are difficult
We all have this "it" factor, which will help to overcome our fears

Great ideas don't just happen. Like a prized exotic plant, great ideas flourish when they are nurtured by two factors: culture and process.
Comedian and workplace innovation speaker John Sweeney says that it is rare for people to consistently come up with great ideas. After all, even the most talented and creative souls among us get depleted from time to time. However, by developing a secure culture and a dynamic process to filter and polish raw ideas, innovations are sure to surface.
Key Points from this Video:
Culture and process affect how innovative a person can be
Culture refers to the environment from where we innovate (I.e. workplace)
The culture must make a person feel safe
Process is the procedure of taking raw ideas and refining them into polished end products

What makes a person an innovator versus an ordinary folk?
According to John Sweeney, nothing!
We were all created innovatively perfect. However, there are innovation inhibitors that have crept up into our mindsets that eventually convinced some people that they are not creative enough to come up with new exciting ideas. Sweeney shows us in this video how to get back on track with some simple ideas that work.
Key Points from this Video:
All of us were created innovatively perfect
We need to unlearn the innovation inhibitors in our lives
We need to learn how to accept new ideas and defer judgment
Increasing the amount of time using "Yes, and" vs. "No, but"
