The Power of Diverse Peer Groups

Thinking outside the box is a phrase you hear often and it is a great concept. The challenge is that sometimes we are not even aware that we are thinking inside the box.
The best way to deal with this is to expand the universe of people you interact with in your life. Seek out people who see the world differently than you do, or people in different industries and get their take on an issue that you're working on or a challenge you're dealing with.
?Seeing things through their perspective can help to snap you out of your comfortable thinking patterns and open up new possibilities for you.
Today, remember to seek out people outside of your usual circle and solicit their thoughts and opinions on whatever it is that you might be working on.
?Win Your Day!

Keith - I couldn’t agree more. The world is changing at exponential rates due to the convergence of so many new technologies and we learn faster by coming together with leaders who think differently.
