So, you’re probably wondering, “What is the red thread?” A red thread is the through-line of any story. It’s the answer to why people should care. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve blurted out my ideas without fully thinking them through. The words fall out of my mouth because of habit or because I’m afraid I’m going to forget my idea if I hold onto it. Can you relate?
During my conversation with Tamsen Webster, author of Find Your Red Thread: Make Your Big Ideas Irresistible, TedX speaker, and consultant, we discussed the importance of fully forming our ideas and presenting them with impact. When we follow these steps, people will buy into our ideas and endorse them. And who doesn’t want that?
Tamsen and I also discussed:
- The back story behind the red thread
- A few tips on how we can find our own red threads
- What the idea gap is and how we can fill it
- What mental hurdles may be stopping us from sharing our big ideas
This was such a fun and enlightening conversation. I hope you enjoy it and find your red thread as a result!
