Collective Excellence

Session 1: Sources of Originality

Sara Connell

Keynote Speaker and CEO, Thought Leader Media

Train Your Brain for Genius in 10 Minutes Per Day

Many of us have solved a problem on a walk, in the shower, or just before waking up. Connell calls these moments downloads, and she wants to show they can be invited. She walks through research from Stanford and the University of Michigan on walking, attention, and creative thinking, and explains what we lose when we lean on AI for every idea. She then teaches a practice you can use in about ten minutes a day, and shares the story of the walk that led to the biggest idea of her life.
