While the possibility of financial reward is a motivating factor, it is not the only or indeed the main reason why many solvers sign up for challenges. In their own words, here’s a quick insight into what motivates some of our brilliant solvers and facilitators.
“If you like intensity this is a great place to be. You are very intimately involved and everyone is focused on something that is bigger than all of us, which is just a thrilling way to do things. I feel like I have been invited to a cocktail party where I get to talk to the four smartest people in the room.”
– IdeaConnection Facilitator Susan Velasquez
“My grandfather was a farmer and my mum is a plant geneticist so I always feel drawn to these sorts of challenges……So there is a personal interest for me, not only the intellectual stimulation. Now I’m venturing into areas that are away from my comfort zone. I love learning new things and interacting with people from different backgrounds and areas.”
– IdeaConnection Problem Solver Tzvi Aviv
“I really liked it. It was a very positive experience, especially getting to know different people from different cultural backgrounds and different disciplines, and hearing different ideas.”
– IdeaConnection Problem Solver Dr. Livy Alex Shivra
“I like working in different areas. I spend quite a bit of my time doing freelance stuff like this and so it is always interesting to learn a new area and develop my knowledge.“
