What did i learn from the conversation
One of the most important things that I learnt from this conversation is the importance of letting go of all the seriousness that we carry along with us as business folks and let the child inside of us to sometimes take over.
Another one of the learning is the reinforcement that we have the potential to be at our creative best when we are moving rather than being stationary in our office desk or the office meeting room.
We also discuss briefly about status quo and when is it important to be happy with status quo and when it is important to shake things up and how to go about doing that.
