How We
Can Help
3. HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE CAN
ONE CHOICE MAKE
At first, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Sharing
an idea, speaking up for others, or pausing to
listen to those around you may be small acts
of kindness. However, the magic unfolds when
we add consistency, intentionality, and time.
It shapes our entire environment, overt time
defining the culture of how things are done and
how things can be in the future. In other words,
every decision we make has the power to create
a ripple effect. We have the key to shifting the
narrative at every moment in our lives. But
how often are we aware of this?
The pandemic woke us up to our blind spots.
We’ve all been so busy working that we forgot to
be human. We forgot to just be. As COVID halted
our travel plans and “business as usual,” it also
stopped us from running in the hamster wheel
of mindless action. For the first time, everyone,
including us at InnovatorsBox®
, found ourselves
asking if this is really the best way to do what we
do at work.
For us, that meant rethinking how and what
we serve the clientele. For me, while I loved
in-person engagements, the weekly travel
was starting to take a toll on my health. I had
forgotten when I last felt physically healthy
and recharged. I was juggling multiple projects,
email threads, and communication timelines—
frequently waking up at hotels, feeling
confused about what city I was in. This was not
sustainable. I also wondered how we could
provide more proactive content and creative
resources that others could use on their own,
instead of only creating customized services
when clients reached out to us for specific
projects. Still, I didn’t know any other way. Until
the pandemic shook everything up, I thought
this was all there was.
18 months later, we’ve grown to realize we’re
more resilient, human, and creative than we
thought. Learning how to serve online took time,
but I started to notice that the small moments
were adding up. The intentional follow-up
emails, hosting global innovators meetups to
bring people together, creating free resilience
guides, making music to celebrate innovators’
stories, and creating mascots to tell the story
of creativity in a new way all brought us closer
to helping one more innovator, team, or
company who was feeling burned out, stressed
and fatigued. It reminded me of how every
small decision creates a powerful ripple effect.
So yes, while the pandemic marked a halt to
our pre-2020 growth, on looking back, it also
helped us to grow in a transformative way that
I had already been longing for. It pushed me
to reconsider the power of small decisions,
including making the time to look back at the
past three years, even as we look at how we
want to develop with you in the future.
We may not know what life will give us, but
we can always choose to be the protagonist
and decide what to do, how to respond, and
how to live the life we want in any situation.
Looking back, I’m reminded of this key fact: we
always have a choice, even in moments when
it feels like we don’t. Even when you’re facing
a pandemic that makes you feel powerless,
the choice is always yours. You can make your
dream a reality, but you have to work with
intention.
I humbly share our past three-year journey, in
commitment to continuing those small decisions
to make this world a better place with you. I
hope this reflection encourages you to join us
in the coming years as we move boundaries,
help more people around the world, and teach
them how to meet their full potential, no matter
where they are or how they use their creativity.
