65 - Solve Problems With Sherlock

Today, I talk about how we can think like Sherlock Holmes to solve problems using the SCAMPER and CPS methods creatively. I truly believe that when you leave no stone unturned and consider all factors, you can devise a solution with the fewest downsides and the most benefits. It’s all about brainstorming and converging on the best possible solution while also creating a detailed plan to prevent similar issues from happening again in the future. So, let’s dive in and discover how we can approach problem-solving more effectively and creatively.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
