Brainstorming
Warmups – “Everyone knows that productive brainstorming
sessions are imperative to creating stellar presentations. Everyone also knows
that the practice of brainstorming has become a little weary. Our brains are
over-stimulated and tired. Even after cups and cups of coffee, sometimes we
just can’t WAKE UP! Jumping into a brainstorming session these days seems a lot
like jumping into an ice cold swimming pool in early Spring. With that in mind,
below are five warm-up exercises that will help ease your team into the brainstorming
pool.” (L:T;
