Every Thursday, we provide you with a thoughtful way to coach yourself – something all leaders need to do. Today’s quote is from Tanmay Vora, whom I became acquainted with through the blogosphere and Twitter. What stands out on a personal level for me was the phone call I received a couple of years ago from Tanmay – he simply reached out because he wanted to use a different way to connect; it was a wonderful surprise. His blog is called QAspire, and in his words it “aims to work as a catalyst to improve quality of outcomes for knowledge organizations and businesses”. It’s well written and unique. You really should subscribe.

So take five and enjoy the quote and reflect on the questions that follow. Your comments and answers to the questions are always welcome!

Creativity isn’t always about doing something that no one has done before – but in my view, it is always about executing your ideas with great love, great joy and a deep interest. ~ Tanmay Vora
