Maya the Giraffe
– Aspiring to great leadership by waking up your natural curiosity.
The What
As children, we are naturally curious. We ask lots of questions about the world and always explore our surroundings. As we grow older, our natural curiousness fade, and we are taught to conform to certain expectations and avoid risks.
The Why
Losing our curiosity and creativity, limits our natural ability to innovate and solve problems. It also makes us less likely to take risks and try new things. Curious and creative people are more open towards new ideas and possibilities. They empower us to innovate and uncover new solutions.
The How
Maya believes that the best way to maintain our curiosity and creativity as we age, is to connect with other people and learn about their experiences and perspectives.
Thinkb8
Maya inspires curiosity by being a very tall and curious role model. She is highly sociable, lives for every moment and her never ending curious mind keeps her busy.
Thinkb8 wants to do just that for people, making sure our natural curiosity takes us further every day. The idea is actually a campaign for mental health, where we want to reclaim our natural curiosity and our own time, rather than using it on so many large corporations – as merchendice.
We are so much more and we will never give up trying to create the next great idea or experience the next awesome moment in our lives. That happens, as you know, in the world where we decide what is what – not some algorithm feeding us digital drugs.
