Amazing athletes warm up. They stretch their muscles before getting on the court or field. They time sprints, shoot a bunch of hoops and crack more than a few bats to get their bodies ready for practice. Athletes know there is a process in making their agencies ready for any game.

We don't realize how critical a warm-up is for us to leap. A warm-up is choosing to unleash capacity but not formalize an idea. A doodle is essential to create a masterpiece. An idea jotted down on the back of a napkin is the start of an industry-changing company. Showing compassion in front of a child is the catalyst for kindness. One sentence to stranger begins a lifetime friendship. A quick sketch begins the buds of a new project.
