the wow factor
Only one thing consistently and relentlessly breaks through the clutter of everyday life.
The “wow” factor. It makes you pause. Wonder. It doesn't even have to be big. Whatever it is, there is something about it that demands your attention from the very beginning and draws you into a story. It speaks to you and connects you to an idea.
So, how do we get to “wow?”
There are 4 key drivers that individually or collectively create the “wow.”
Insight – We learn to look at the issue or solution
in a compelling new way, or learn unexpected new information (not a stat) that changes our perspective.
Innovation – We discover a new thing that goes beyond simply fighting the problem to re-imagining a solution with the potential to forever end the problem.
Impact – A big deal, an amazing transformation
is in the works.
Inspiration – We are given a truly uplifting glimpse of tenacious determination, sacrifice, or some higher ideal to which we all can aspire.
