We should chase every sip of adversity with a big gulp of joy! Joy is an elixir that releases hope for the future. This episode is part two in a two-part series, and the goal is to convince the listener that taking time out to seek joy is a powerful way to spark creativity, refresh your outlook and motivate your team.

This episode shares more juice from Gordon MacKenzie’s book, “Orbiting the Giant Hairball.” If you want to cultivate creative genius at your company, you may want to consider orbiting! If your workplace is devoid of flavor and you want to foster a zestful environment with free-flowing ideas, Brand Orbit may be just the motivation you need to move away from a mindset that is completely tethered to corporate bureaucracy, and then you can unleash people to orbit, to a place where they can be authentic and are encouraged to dream. Orbiting is a place where people are connected to the mission and vision of the organization, and allowed to tap into the vast brilliance of the universe!

“Orbiting is following your bliss. Your uniqueness in all of its potency equals magic. But, if you are hypnotized by an organization’s culture, you become separated from your personal magic and cannot tap it to help achieve the goals of the organization.” This is a quote from Gordon MacKenzie’s book, Orbiting the Giant Hairball. This two part series, Brand Orbit, will give more sips of the juice from this book and explore ways to rise above administrative systems and bureaucracy to a place of dreaming, daring and soaring, a place where creative genius awakens!
