Do you have an innovation mindset?

You know who did? Francine Shapiro.

She first created EMD in 1987 after her famous walk in the park, and later created EMDR in 1991 with standard protocol (8 phases) and the AIP model. EMDRIA wasn't established until 1995.

Over the past 30 years, many clinicians have gone on to expand our understanding of healing trauma and EMDR, even bringing in new theories about taxing the working memory (EMDR 2.0).

So isn’t it interesting that in all these years of innovation, some EMDR clinicians believe that EMDR, as they learned it many years ago, is somehow supposed to stay that way forever as “the perfect product.”

Honoring Francine Shapiro doesn’t mean we stop innovating what she created. In fact, this is the opposite of how we honor an innovator. We honor an innovator by participating in the innovation process instead of hindering it.

To understand how we can truly honor the innovators we admire, listen in as my hubs, Keegan Evans, shares his career experience with Scott Cook, founder of Intuit. Keegan invites us to learn from successful tech companies in Silicon Valley to try on innovation mindsets, create learning communities, encourage the natural process of products evolving over time, and not to fall into the trap of thinking there is a “perfect product.”
