Co-Creation + Inspiration + Creativity = Magic

I had the pleasure of attending my very first Cirque du Soleil show last weekend in Vegas. We scored incredible seats in the third row for “O”, the amazing underwater spectacle that was truly a feast for the eyes.

Throughout the show, I kept wondering, “How do they DO that?!” Every single element was flawlessly executed including insane high dives, spectacular contortions, and graceful underwater dancing. Each performer was perfectly in synch, and the staging was utterly mind-blowing. They were also clearly having a blast.

It begged the question: How does something so beautiful, so powerful, and so magical come to fruition, and how can we take those lessons into our lives and businesses?

When my friend and I were leaving the theatre, I happened upon some of the gorgeous artwork in the lobby. One reminded me that the master class performance I just witnessed was essentially a stunning blend of Co-Creation, Inspiration, and Creativity at work.
