In business we might use terms like insights, strategies, and change management.
In simple terms though, an innovation mindset is a habit you can master and use all the time:
Know the situation well. Spend time being honest about where you are at with the unknowns, complexities, and possibilities before jumping into a full-blown plan based on weak assumptions.
Apply the next best action. Experiment. Place small bets. Discover more about the situation that adds to your understanding.
Assess what you've learned. Celebrate that you have more information. Follow the data.
Repeat. Now, you know something new. So you can choose the next best action and apply it. And then assess and - do it again.
Keep going with Know - Apply - Assess (Repeat) and you'll find you can accomplish more than you thought, with less risk than you thought, faster than you thought.
Bypass fears, obstacles, and resistance using this approach and let us know how it goes!
And in the video, we talk about when the innovation mindset is most helpful and when detailed plans, protocols, and procedures are will get the job done. Both are needed!

The Mosley Institute has never been more popular than it is right now.
Some members in the Mosley Institute join because there is an immediate need... a big career move, interpersonal or organizational difficulties, burnout, that kind of thing.
Other members like to have a steady sounding board as they go about whatever tough and important work they are doing in the world. There are members in the Institute who have enjoyed having me as a trusted advisor for 5 years or more!
It's like having an executive coach "on-call" -- right there to set up a video call or send a personal email response.
Now is a terrific time to invest in some professional coaching to build new habits and skills that help you navigate the volatility of 2025. Mosley Institute scheduling is flexible to fit into your busy schedule.
And if you'd like your employer to pay for the membership (some do), you can get the approval in ahead of end-of-year budget crunches!
It's fast and simple to sign up directly, give as a gift, or to arrange a group enrollment.
Please don't hesitate to request a complimentary coaching call if you are curious whether it would be a good move for you.

* New Orleans was known for thousands of years as Bulbancha (Choctaw for "place of many tongues") and was an indigenous trading hub. Erin Mosley, Inc. calls this place home now - and we continue to learn more about all the peoples, cultures, and events that have happened here.
Lagniappe is said to be a modified form of a Louisiana French creole or cajun term that derives from the New-World Spanish la ñapa (gift), which in turn may have its origin in a Quechua word yapa (gift or tip).
Here on this page, we share a little extra news, curiosities, ephemeral tidbits, and passing fancies. In the spirit of giving you a lagniappe when you visit us.
