Join us for our October meetup!☕️ 8am – Coffee Served
🎤 8:15am – Program Begins
Our theme for October is ALTITUDE. It was chosen by our Toowoomba chapter in Australia, illustrated by Alex Hotchin, and is presented by Adobe.
If you’re stuck, try going up.
Big ideas are often described as elevated. A flight of fancy. A lofty goal. A bird's-eye view of the problem. Blue-sky thinking.
Turns out it’s not just a figure of speech. Psychologists have found that being higher up, like on a rooftop or a mountain trail, changes how the mind works. People asked to think while in physically elevated locations generated more abstract ideas. While subjects at ground level tended to think more literally.
We don't just use height as a metaphor for creativity; altitude seems to switch it on. Your perspective changes looking out from a skyscraper or a window seat at thirty thousand feet. Chaos becomes a pattern. The altitude gives us clarity. Suddenly, you can see the big picture and your place in it.
So, gain some altitude. Then come back down and make something worthy of the climb.
Our Toowoomba chapter had this to say about the significance of this month’s theme:
“Toowoomba quite literally sits above; perched on the edge of the Great Dividing Range. ‘Altitude’ speaks to elevated views, both geographically and creatively. It reflects the fresh perspective our community brings and the headspace we make for big ideas.”
