From Orion’s Belt to Business Boardrooms: How My Cosmic Curiosity Powers Stellar Strategies

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a bit of an an odd one . While other kids were playing nhodo, pada and bhangi, I was busy reading the encyclopedia and identifying Orion’s Belt. My curiosity was as vast as the universe itself, and little did I know, it would become my secret weapon in the world of strategy.

Fast forward to adulthood, and my conversations have only gotten weirder (and more wonderful). Instead of chatting about the latest Instagram trends, I’m the one at the party talking about the companies that played pivotal roles in WWI and are now industry giants. Yes, I’m that person who lives on Reddit, diving deep into threads about obscure historical events and emerging technologies.

You see, my curiosity isn’t just a quirk; it’s the cornerstone of my creative process. It’s what allows me to see connections others might miss, to draw parallels between seemingly unrelated events, and to craft strategies that are as innovative as they are effective.

Your knowledge bank is a combination of what you read, experience, and consume. For me, it’s a blend of historical texts, Reddit rabbit holes, and real-world experiences.

It’s what allows me to see connections others might miss, to draw parallels between seemingly unrelated events, and to craft strategies that are as innovative as they are effective.

Take, for example, the time a client walked through the door with a seemingly impossible challenge. They needed a strategy that would set them apart in a saturated market. While others might have looked at the usual suspects for inspiration, I drew on my knowledge of historical business strategies and modern-day Reddit discussions. The result? A strategy that was not only unique but also deeply rooted in proven principles and cutting-edge insights.

In the end, you don’t know what you know until that one client walks through the door. And when they do, it’s your curiosity that will feed your strategy strengths, turning you from the weird kid who knew about the Milky Way into the strategist who knows how to navigate the complex galaxy of business.

So here’s to the curious ones, the Reddit dwellers, and the history buffs. May your curiosity continue to feed your strategy strengths and lead you to stellar success. - Golda The Strategist
