You need to identify the problem for yourself. Be honest and realistic. First and foremost, the idea needs to wow you long before it wows the client, for two reasons.
First, clients rarely rise up to your level of passion about an idea. Your presentation should use strong imagery, you need to present your ideas winningly through your voice and personality, the proposal has the clear, ordered text to persuade the client, and the visionary idea needs to be as tangible as possible in front of the client when you present it.
I cannot strongly enough suggest you have prototypes, storyboards, hands-outs and audio-visual aids to sell your idea. Make your idea come alive. In a word: great! You should always ask the client before you start brainstorming if they have any potential solutions.
Even the most conservative person has an idea or two. You gain four important elements by asking. Two, you can a tangible idea of what they think is possible to implement, including budget.
Third, you sound collaborative by asking. Fourth, and most important, by inviting their participation in the creation of the idea, you tacitly begin to earn their trust and endorsement. But ask if they want status reports or a simple 2-minute update by email or in person. As a rule of thumb: involve the client until they ask not to be involved. Part of the problem with creating ideas for someone else to approve is finding a benchmark or standard to decide together if an idea is the right idea.
You need agreement, and preferably before you begin brainstorming. What sort of proposals do NIH evaluators approve? And t he answer is nobody knows. A new ingenious paper raises a dangerous question: Are expert evaluators subtly biased against new ideas? Researchers Kevin J. Boudreau, Eva Guinan, Karim R. Lakhani, and Christoph Riedl recruited world-class researchers from a leading medical school and randomly assigned them to evaluate several proposals.
Sometimes, faculty were experts in the subject of the submissions they read. Often, they were experts in other fields. But in all cases, the experiment was triple-blind: Evaluators did not know submitters, submitters did not know evaluators, and evaluators did not talk to each other. The researchers found that new ideas—those that remixed information in surprising ways—got worse scores from everyone, but they were particularly punished by experts.
It maybe turns us into over -critical thinkers. In the real world, everybody has encountered a variety of this: A real or self-proclaimed expert who's impatient with new ideas, because they challenge his ego, piercing the armor of his expertise. In fact, they can be downright hostile. David Frum. A study found that teachers who claim to enjoy creative children don't actually enjoy any of the characteristics associated with creativity, such as non-conformity.
A famous study from the University of Pennsylvania showed that ordinary people often dismiss new ideas, because their uncertainty makes us think, and thinking too hard makes us feel uncomfortable.
People are subtly prejudiced against novelty, even when they claim to be open to new ways of thinking. How should creative people fight this widespread prejudice against creativity? Perhaps by disguising their new ideas as old ideas. We're not prejudiced against all creativity, Karim Lakhani told me. For example: "I feel really disappointed that I didn't get chosen for the school play. I wanted it so badly, and I tried so hard.
I feel left out because my friends made it and I didn't. If you want, tell someone else what happened and how you feel about it. Pick someone who will listen and be supportive.
Whether you decide to share your feelings with someone else or simply think about them yourself, acknowledging feelings can help you move beyond painful emotions. When you're dealing with a painful emotion like rejection, it's easy to get caught up in the bad feeling. But dwelling on the negative stuff can feel like living the experience over and over again.
Not only does it keep hurting, it becomes harder to get past the rejection. So admit how you feel but don't dwell on it. Avoid talking or thinking about it nonstop. Negative thinking influences our expectations and how we act. Getting stuck in a negative outlook might even bring about more rejection.
It certainly doesn't inspire a person to try again. Now on to what you think: Consider how you're explaining the rejection to yourself. Are you being too hard on yourself? It's natural to wonder, "Why did this happen?
Tell yourself: "I got turned down for prom because the person didn't want to go with me. They're imagining a reason, reading too much into a situation. If put-down thoughts like these start creeping into your mind, shut them down. Self-blaming or put-down thinking can exaggerate our faults and lead us to believe stuff about ourselves that simply isn't true. This kind of thinking crowds out hope and a belief in ourselves — the very things we need to get past feeling bad and want to try again.
If you start blaming yourself for the rejection or put yourself down, you can start believing you'll always be rejected. Thoughts like, "I'll never get a date" or "No one will ever like me" amplify a simple rejection to disaster level.
