Creative Empathy

Don The Idea Guy February 11, 2020

If you want other people to buy into your idea, you need to create something that other people want. Empathy is the ability to psychologically identify with another person’s thoughts, emotions, and attitudes. Creative Empathy is the ability to generate innovate ideas for products, services, and solutions that will appeal to the thoughts, emotions, and attitudes of others.

It does you no good if you love your idea (especially if you’re the only one that does!). You need other people to love your idea too.

You need to put yourself in the shoes of another person and walk a mile or two in them.
If you find those shoes make your feet hurt, you might decide to develop a special shoe insert that makes it feel like you’re walking on clouds rather than walking on Lego® blocks in your bare feet.

That’s creative empathy.

Shake Things Up

The new year is nearly upon us and I call upon you to take up the challenge to shake things up like snow globe in the twelve months to follow. It’s only fair, right? This past year has shaken-up (or just plain shaken) many of the things we took for granted — being able to […]

Become An Idea Distillery

When you think about a distillery you probably think of a quality bourbon or whisk(e)y where a master distiller chooses the best ingredients, adds heat, allows it to age, and then pours that precious essence into bottles for consumers to share and savor. I think this same general process can be used for taking imaginative […]
