From the video’s description:

In 1994, the Idaho Ad Federation asked vendors to produce openings for that year’s Rockies Show. North By Northwest chose “Newspaper”. The piece was shot in one night and was Jeff Noble’s first “day” on the job. It won for Best Intro.

Did you treat anyone differently, or were you treated any differently last week?  If so, did it have any effect on you?

Feel free to comment away.

Rather than telling someone no, that their idea is bad, or some other negative response, make a conscious effort to turn it into a positive.

Do you have to tell someone no?  Okay, but also give the person asking the question something helpful—could be a recommendation on someone else they should talk to or another avenue to try.

Think an idea isn’t the greatest?  Tell them what you think could be done to make it better.

On the other side of the conversation?  You’re the one doing the asking?  Don’t settle.  Ask for more information, more feedback, or what you could do differently.

Try it.  Then let others know how it goes by leaving a comment here.

Anyone?

Depending on the interest level, it could take the shape of either direct calls, one-on-one, or a weekly conference call where anyone / everyone could be involved.

Feel free to either leave a comment or send an email with any thoughts.  Hair-brained idea?  Yeah, probably.  But then again, that’s how some of the best ideas get their start…
