Creative Focus

LOSING SPEECH

Exercise: You’re the coach of your kid’s Pee Wee basketball team and they are up by 10 points at halftime, but…. you bet heavily against them. List some talking points for a halftime speech. They need to lose with dignity, while you trash your own. Convince them that losing nobly is actually winning.

Why: In this instance, you must balance logic and empathy with your own inner purpose to manipulate others through storytelling. Consider and understand the moral lessons that will play well with your audience (and their parents), and help you grab the cash. Threading the needle of logic here in order to get what you want is a veritable masterclass in creative focus.

Enhances Creative Focus which includes deep thinking, focus, pattern recognition, and creative problem-solving.

Example:

“Save your energy, don’t use it all up too fast! Slow down and make the other team think you’re worse than you are. Go for those risky 3 point shots. Go for 5 point shots!”
