Challenge 	
   	
    When 	
   I 	
   chose 	
   my 	
   challenge 	
   I 	
   decided 	
   it 	
   needed 	
   to 	
   be 	
   something 	
   that 	
   I 	
   could 	
    implement 	
   soon 	
   to 	
   actually 	
   take 	
   advantage 	
   of 	
   the 	
   practical 	
   side 	
   of 	
   this 	
   course . 	
   Being 	
    a 	
   stay-­‐at-­‐home 	
   mom 	
   of 	
   3 	
   with 	
   plans 	
   to 	
   go 	
   back 	
   to 	
   the 	
   professional 	
   field , 	
   I 	
   thought 	
    my 	
   challenge 	
   should 	
   be 	
   precisely 	
   at 	
   home . 	
   If 	
   I 	
   could 	
   impact 	
   my 	
   daily 	
   life 	
   today , 	
   I 	
    could 	
   definitely 	
   impact 	
   my 	
   professional 	
   life 	
   in 	
   the 	
   future 	
   with 	
   design 	
   thinking . 	
   	
    I 	
   would 	
   like 	
   my 	
   daughter , 	
   who 	
   is 	
   almost 	
   4 	
   years 	
   old , 	
   to 	
   eat 	
   healthier 	
   food 	
   ( lots 	
   of 	
    veggies , 	
   more 	
   fruits , 	
   less 	
   processed 	
   food ) . 	
  	
   I 	
   have 	
   tried 	
   many 	
   ways 	
   for 	
   her 	
   to 	
   do 	
   it 	
    but 	
   all 	
   of 	
   my 	
   ideas 	
   that 	
   I 	
   have 	
   tested 	
   have 	
   failed . 	
  	
   She 	
   has 	
   a 	
   severe 	
   allergy 	
   to 	
   peanuts 	
    making 	
   it 	
   just 	
   a 	
   little 	
   harder . 	
  	
   Anything 	
   slightly 	
   “ contaminated ” 	
   causes 	
   her 	
   to 	
   have 	
   an 	
    allergic 	
   reaction . 	
  	
  	
   	
    I 	
   recognize 	
   that 	
   I 	
   am 	
   a 	
   very 	
   left-­‐brain 	
   thinking 	
   person . 	
  	
   I 	
   like 	
   to 	
   have 	
   structure 	
   for 	
    basically 	
   everything . 	
  	
   My 	
   older 	
   and 	
   younger 	
   children 	
   have 	
   great 	
   eating 	
   habits 	
   and 	
   I 	
    am 	
   looking 	
   forward 	
   for 	
   her 	
   to 	
   join 	
   the 	
   club 	
   and 	
   make 	
   me 	
   a 	
   stress 	
   free 	
   mom 	
   at 	
   least 	
    from 	
   the 	
   nutrition 	
   point 	
   of 	
   view . 	
   	
    Selection 	
  	
   	
    I 	
   partnered 	
   with 	
   another 	
   mom 	
   and 	
   with 	
   the 	
   help 	
   of 	
   a 	
   friend 	
   with 	
   experience 	
   in 	
    Design 	
   Thinking 	
   we 	
   created 	
   a 	
   workshop . 	
  	
   We 	
   used 	
   several 	
   tools 	
   including : 	
    interviews , 	
   concept 	
   development , 	
   brainstorming 	
   and 	
   even 	
   rapid 	
   prototyping 	
   but 	
   the 	
    tool 	
   that 	
   helped 	
   me 	
   to 	
   put 	
   it 	
   all 	
   together 	
   was 	
   definitely 	
   “ visualization ” . 	
  	
   I 	
   needed 	
   the 	
    alignment 	
   that 	
   provides 	
   having 	
   the 	
   information 	
   in 	
   a 	
   tangible 	
   way . 	
   	
    Application 	
   	
    We 	
   started 	
   the 	
   workshop 	
   by 	
   giving 	
   it 	
   what 	
   it 	
   needs , 	
   a 	
   prepared 	
   mind 	
   like 	
   we 	
   saw 	
   in 	
    week 	
   2 	
   of 	
   the 	
   course . 	
  	
  	
   We 	
   got 	
   a 	
   kit 	
   of 	
   tools 	
   to 	
   help 	
   us 	
   including 	
   post-­‐its , 	
   different 	
    color 	
   paper 	
   and 	
   even 	
   my 	
   own 	
   daughter ’s 	
   crayons . 	
  	
   The 	
   process 	
   initiated 	
   by 	
   working 	
    on 	
   the 	
   concept 	
   development . 	
  	
   I 	
   did 	
   want 	
   my 	
   daughter 	
   to 	
   eat 	
   better 	
   but 	
   what 	
   does 	
    that 	
   really 	
   mean ? 	
   By 	
   practicing 	
   a 	
   face-­‐to-­‐face 	
   question / answers 	
   phase 	
   I 	
   concluded 	
    that 	
   what 	
   I 	
   really 	
   wanted 	
   is 	
   for 	
   her 	
   to 	
   have 	
   at 	
   least 	
   1 	
   portion 	
   of 	
   vegetables , 	
   2 	
   of 	
   fruits , 	
    1 	
   of 	
   grains 	
   and 	
   1 	
   of 	
   proteins 	
   every 	
   day . 	
  	
   All 	
   the 	
   notes 	
   to 	
   get 	
   to 	
   that 	
   point 	
   were 	
    written 	
   on 	
   post-­‐its 	
   and 	
   added 	
   to 	
   flip 	
   chart 	
   paper 	
   that 	
   was 	
   hanging 	
   on 	
   my 	
   dining 	
    room 	
   wall . 	
   Having 	
   the 	
   visual 	
   guided 	
   me 	
   to 	
   stay 	
   focused 	
   without 	
   thinking 	
   on 	
   stuff 	
    that 	
   was 	
   not 	
   part 	
   of 	
   the 	
   problem . 	
  	
   Then 	
   it 	
   came 	
   the 	
   point 	
   of 	
   how 	
   do 	
   I 	
   do 	
   it ? 	
   We 	
    started 	
   brainstorming 	
   with 	
   a 	
   combination 	
   of 	
   sketching . 	
  	
   It 	
   was 	
   a 	
   fun 	
   process 	
   and 	
   a 	
    really 	
   good 	
   way 	
   to 	
   see 	
   it 	
   on 	
   paper 	
   and 	
   then 	
   picturing 	
   it 	
   in 	
   my 	
   mind . 	
  	
   My 	
   favorite 	
    visual 	
   is 	
   a 	
   drawing 	
   I 	
   made 	
   where 	
   my 	
   daughter 	
   is 	
   smiling 	
   with 	
   a 	
   plate 	
   full 	
   of 	
   a 	
   variety 	
    of 	
   healthy 	
   food . 

 Insight 	
   	
    Something 	
   that 	
   really 	
   stuck 	
   in 	
   my 	
   mind 	
   is 	
   that 	
   most 	
   of 	
   the 	
   time 	
   we 	
   are 	
   trying 	
   to 	
    solve 	
   issues 	
   but 	
   we 	
   ca n’t 	
   even 	
   define 	
   the 	
   problem . 	
  	
   I 	
   was 	
   trying 	
   to 	
   find 	
   the 	
   solution 	
    for 	
   something 	
   very 	
   general 	
   and 	
   having 	
   the 	
   visual 	
   of 	
   the 	
   notes 	
   helped 	
   me 	
   to 	
   make 	
   a 	
    clear 	
   statement . 	
   That 	
   was 	
   probably 	
   half 	
   way 	
   to 	
   a 	
   solution 	
   already . 	
   	
    Non-­‐business 	
   challenges 	
   could 	
   sound 	
   easy 	
   to 	
   solve 	
   but 	
   for 	
   some 	
   people 	
   it 	
   could 	
   be 	
    really 	
   hard . 	
  	
   I 	
   am 	
   not 	
   a 	
   happy 	
   camper 	
   when 	
   I 	
   need 	
   to 	
   try / do 	
   something 	
   that 	
   is 	
   out 	
   of 	
    my 	
   knowledge 	
   zone . 	
   By 	
   just 	
   following 	
   a 	
   set 	
   of 	
   instructions 	
   we 	
   could 	
   find 	
   solutions 	
    that 	
   I 	
   could 	
   actually 	
   “ see ” . 	
   Having 	
   the 	
   input 	
   of 	
   2 	
   other 	
   people 	
   ( one 	
   with 	
   kids 	
   and 	
   one 	
    without ) 	
   really 	
   helped 	
   as 	
   well . 	
  	
   Like 	
   it 	
   was 	
   discussed 	
   during 	
   the 	
   course 	
   … 	
   “ using 	
   left 	
    side 	
   of 	
   brain 	
   is 	
   not 	
   enough 	
   anymore ” 	
   and 	
   “ No 	
   one 	
   size 	
   fits 	
   all ” . 	
  	
   	
    Approach 	
  	
   	
    I 	
   am 	
   ready 	
   to 	
   start 	
   testing 	
   all 	
   the 	
   new 	
   ideas 	
   that 	
   came 	
   out 	
   of 	
   the 	
   workshop 	
   this 	
    weekend 	
   and 	
   start 	
   tracking 	
   the 	
   progress . 	
   The 	
   plan 	
   is 	
   to 	
   keep 	
   doing 	
   it 	
   very 	
   visual , 	
    using 	
   again 	
   a 	
   flip-­‐chart 	
   paper 	
   that 	
   I 	
   will 	
   hang 	
   in 	
   my 	
   kitchen 	
   where 	
   I 	
   can 	
   evaluate 	
   the 	
    ideas , 	
   add 	
   notes , 	
   make 	
   changes , 	
   etc . 	
   Some 	
   of 	
   the 	
   outcome 	
   includes : 	
   involve 	
   her 	
   in 	
    the 	
   grocery 	
   shopping 	
   process , 	
   make 	
   her 	
   choose 	
   between 	
   2 	
   healthy 	
   options , 	
   let 	
   her 	
    actually 	
   help 	
   with 	
   the 	
   cooking , 	
   when 	
   needed 	
   hide 	
   veggies 	
   and 	
   fruits 	
   in 	
   recipes , 	
   try 	
    computer / phone 	
   apps , 	
   progress 	
   charts 	
   for 	
   kids , 	
   etc . 	
  	
   I 	
   am 	
   confident 	
   that 	
   I 	
   am 	
   in 	
   a 	
    win-­‐win 	
   situation 	
   here , 	
   mom 	
   and 	
   daughter 	
   in 	
   a 	
   better 	
   and 	
   healthier 	
   place .

### Input: Challenge 	
   	
    When 	
   I 	
   chose 	
   my 	
   challenge 	
   I 	
   decided 	
   it 	
   needed 	
   to 	
   be 	
   something 	
   that 	
   I 	
   could 	
    implement 	
   soon 	
   to 	
   actually 	
   take 	
   advantage 	
   of 	
   the 	
   practical 	
   side 	
   of 	
   this 	
   course . 	
   Being 	
    a 	
   stay-­‐at-­‐home 	
   mom 	
   of 	
   3 	
   with 	
   plans 	
   to 	
   go 	
   back 	
   to 	
   the 	
   professional 	
   field , 	
   I 	
   thought 	
    my 	
   challenge 	
   should 	
   be 	
   precisely 	
   at 	
   home . 	
   If 	
   I 	
   could 	
   impact 	
   my 	
   daily 	
   life 	
   today , 	
   I 	
    could 	
   definitely 	
   impact 	
   my 	
   professional 	
   life 	
   in 	
   the 	
   future 	
   with 	
   design 	
   thinking . 	
   	
    I 	
   would 	
   like 	
   my 	
   daughter , 	
   who 	
   is 	
   almost 	
   4 	
   years 	
   old , 	
   to 	
   eat 	
   healthier 	
   food 	
   ( lots 	
   of 	
    veggies , 	
   more 	
   fruits , 	
   less 	
   processed 	
   food ) . 	
  	
   I 	
   have 	
   tried 	
   many 	
   ways 	
   for 	
   her 	
   to 	
   do 	
   it 	
    but 	
   all 	
   of 	
   my 	
   ideas 	
   that 	
   I 	
   have 	
   tested 	
   have 	
   failed . 	
  	
   She 	
   has 	
   a 	
   severe 	
   allergy 	
   to 	
   peanuts 	
    making 	
   it 	
   just 	
   a 	
   little 	
   harder . 	
  	
   Anything 	
   slightly 	
   “ contaminated ” 	
   causes 	
   her 	
   to 	
   have 	
   an 	
    allergic 	
   reaction . 	
  	
  	
   	
    I 	
   recognize 	
   that 	
   I 	
   am 	
   a 	
   very 	
   left-­‐brain 	
   thinking 	
   person . 	
  	
   I 	
   like 	
   to 	
   have 	
   structure 	
   for 	
    basically 	
   everything . 	
  	
   My 	
   older 	
   and 	
   younger 	
   children 	
   have 	
   great 	
   eating 	
   habits 	
   and 	
   I 	
    am 	
   looking 	
   forward 	
   for 	
   her 	
   to 	
   join 	
   the 	
   club 	
   and 	
   make 	
   me 	
   a 	
   stress 	
   free 	
   mom 	
   at 	
   least 	
    from 	
   the 	
   nutrition 	
   point 	
   of 	
   view . 	
   	
    Selection 	
  	
   	
    I 	
   partnered 	
   with 	
   another 	
   mom 	
   and 	
   with 	
   the 	
   help 	
   of 	
   a 	
   friend 	
   with 	
   experience 	
   in 	
    Design 	
   Thinking 	
   we 	
   created 	
   a 	
   workshop . 	
  	
   We 	
   used 	
   several 	
   tools 	
   including : 	
    interviews , 	
   concept 	
   development , 	
   brainstorming 	
   and 	
   even 	
   rapid 	
   prototyping 	
   but 	
   the 	
    tool 	
   that 	
   helped 	
   me 	
   to 	
   put 	
   it 	
   all 	
   together 	
   was 	
   definitely 	
   “ visualization ” . 	
  	
   I 	
   needed 	
   the 	
    alignment 	
   that 	
   provides 	
   having 	
   the 	
   information 	
   in 	
   a 	
   tangible 	
   way . 	
   	
    Application 	
   	
    We 	
   started 	
   the 	
   workshop 	
   by 	
   giving 	
   it 	
   what 	
   it 	
   needs , 	
   a 	
   prepared 	
   mind 	
   like 	
   we 	
   saw 	
   in 	
    week 	
   2 	
   of 	
   the 	
   course . 	
  	
  	
   We 	
   got 	
   a 	
   kit 	
   of 	
   tools 	
   to 	
   help 	
   us 	
   including 	
   post-­‐its , 	
   different 	
    color 	
   paper 	
   and 	
   even 	
   my 	
   own 	
   daughter ’s 	
   crayons . 	
  	
   The 	
   process 	
   initiated 	
   by 	
   working 	
    on 	
   the 	
   concept 	
   development . 	
  	
   I 	
   did 	
   want 	
   my 	
   daughter 	
   to 	
   eat 	
   better 	
   but 	
   what 	
   does 	
    that 	
   really 	
   mean ? 	
   By 	
   practicing 	
   a 	
   face-­‐to-­‐face 	
   question / answers 	
   phase 	
   I 	
   concluded 	
    that 	
   what 	
   I 	
   really 	
   wanted 	
   is 	
   for 	
   her 	
   to 	
   have 	
   at 	
   least 	
   1 	
   portion 	
   of 	
   vegetables , 	
   2 	
   of 	
   fruits , 	
    1 	
   of 	
   grains 	
   and 	
   1 	
   of 	
   proteins 	
   every 	
   day . 	
  	
   All 	
   the 	
   notes 	
   to 	
   get 	
   to 	
   that 	
   point 	
   were 	
    written 	
   on 	
   post-­‐its 	
   and 	
   added 	
   to 	
   flip 	
   chart 	
   paper 	
   that 	
   was 	
   hanging 	
   on 	
   my 	
   dining 	
    room 	
   wall . 	
   Having 	
   the 	
   visual 	
   guided 	
   me 	
   to 	
   stay 	
   focused 	
   without 	
   thinking 	
   on 	
   stuff 	
    that 	
   was 	
   not 	
   part 	
   of 	
   the 	
   problem . 	
  	
   Then 	
   it 	
   came 	
   the 	
   point 	
   of 	
   how 	
   do 	
   I 	
   do 	
   it ? 	
   We 	
    started 	
   brainstorming 	
   with 	
   a 	
   combination 	
   of 	
   sketching . 	
  	
   It 	
   was 	
   a 	
   fun 	
   process 	
   and 	
   a 	
    really 	
   good 	
   way 	
   to 	
   see 	
   it 	
   on 	
   paper 	
   and 	
   then 	
   picturing 	
   it 	
   in 	
   my 	
   mind . 	
  	
   My 	
   favorite 	
    visual 	
   is 	
   a 	
   drawing 	
   I 	
   made 	
   where 	
   my 	
   daughter 	
   is 	
   smiling 	
   with 	
   a 	
   plate 	
   full 	
   of 	
   a 	
   variety 	
    of 	
   healthy 	
   food . 

 Insight 	
   	
    Something 	
   that 	
   really 	
   stuck 	
   in 	
   my 	
   mind 	
   is 	
   that 	
   most 	
   of 	
   the 	
   time 	
   we 	
   are 	
   trying 	
   to 	
    solve 	
   issues 	
   but 	
   we 	
   ca n’t 	
   even 	
   define 	
   the 	
   problem . 	
  	
   I 	
   was 	
   trying 	
   to 	
   find 	
   the 	
   solution 	
    for 	
   something 	
   very 	
   general 	
   and 	
   having 	
   the 	
   visual 	
   of 	
   the 	
   notes 	
   helped 	
   me 	
   to 	
   make 	
   a 	
    clear 	
   statement . 	
   That 	
   was 	
   probably 	
   half 	
   way 	
   to 	
   a 	
   solution 	
   already . 	
   	
    Non-­‐business 	
   challenges 	
   could 	
   sound 	
   easy 	
   to 	
   solve 	
   but 	
   for 	
   some 	
   people 	
   it 	
   could 	
   be 	
    really 	
   hard . 	
  	
   I 	
   am 	
   not 	
   a 	
   happy 	
   camper 	
   when 	
   I 	
   need 	
   to 	
   try / do 	
   something 	
   that 	
   is 	
   out 	
   of 	
    my 	
   knowledge 	
   zone . 	
   By 	
   just 	
   following 	
   a 	
   set 	
   of 	
   instructions 	
   we 	
   could 	
   find 	
   solutions 	
    that 	
   I 	
   could 	
   actually 	
   “ see ” . 	
   Having 	
   the 	
   input 	
   of 	
   2 	
   other 	
   people 	
   ( one 	
   with 	
   kids 	
   and 	
   one 	
    without ) 	
   really 	
   helped 	
   as 	
   well . 	
  	
   Like 	
   it 	
   was 	
   discussed 	
   during 	
   the 	
   course 	
   … 	
   “ using 	
   left 	
    side 	
   of 	
   brain 	
   is 	
   not 	
   enough 	
   anymore ” 	
   and 	
   “ No 	
   one 	
   size 	
   fits 	
   all ” . 	
  	
   	
    Approach 	
  	
   	
    I 	
   am 	
   ready 	
   to 	
   start 	
   testing 	
   all 	
   the 	
   new 	
   ideas 	
   that 	
   came 	
   out 	
   of 	
   the 	
   workshop 	
   this 	
    weekend 	
   and 	
   start 	
   tracking 	
   the 	
   progress . 	
   The 	
   plan 	
   is 	
   to 	
   keep 	
   doing 	
   it 	
   very 	
   visual , 	
    using 	
   again 	
   a 	
   flip-­‐chart 	
   paper 	
   that 	
   I 	
   will 	
   hang 	
   in 	
   my 	
   kitchen 	
   where 	
   I 	
   can 	
   evaluate 	
   the 	
    ideas , 	
   add 	
   notes , 	
   make 	
   changes , 	
   etc . 	
   Some 	
   of 	
   the 	
   outcome 	
   includes : 	
   involve 	
   her 	
   in 	
    the 	
   grocery 	
   shopping 	
   process , 	
   make 	
   her 	
   choose 	
   between 	
   2 	
   healthy 	
   options , 	
   let 	
   her 	
    actually 	
   help 	
   with 	
   the 	
   cooking , 	
   when 	
   needed 	
   hide 	
   veggies 	
   and 	
   fruits 	
   in 	
   recipes , 	
   try 	
    computer / phone 	
   apps , 	
   progress 	
   charts 	
   for 	
   kids , 	
   etc . 	
  	
   I 	
   am 	
   confident 	
   that 	
   I 	
   am 	
   in 	
   a 	
    win-­‐win 	
   situation 	
   here , 	
   mom 	
   and 	
   daughter 	
   in 	
   a 	
   better 	
   and 	
   healthier 	
   place .
