I had just left a meeting and stopped for a coffee at a little privately owned café. My first stop, however, was the restroom.

As I was washing up, I noticed the sign. It caught me by surprise and caused me to stop and remind myself of this: Ideas Are Everywhere.

In fact, some of the best ideas turn up in the most unlikely places. Or, they are shared via the most unlikely member of your team. Good ideas can result from combining several crazy ideas.

This little sign hanging in an unlikely venue reminded me to get out into the world each and every day to allow ideas to appear.

The best ideas probably won’t happen at my desk.

Where do you find your best ideas?
