What People Say
Problem solved! After listening to Lee Zlotoff at a recent lecture I used Lee’s technique on a particularly tough issue I was dealing with and the next morning I was able to solve it. I’ve been using Lee’s techniques ever since with great results.

“As the good and agile writer that he is, Lee D Zlotoff has come up with a playful application of meaningful insightful wisdom. When we have to come up with a specific solution or when we need a dynamic output of creative ideas, our rational mind works at its best studying our needs and preparing the question, but the answer can only come from our intuitive creative mind. To receive the answer from our creative mind, we need to allow space, by shifting to a very different mode: the rational mind needs to disengage from trying and thinking about it, so we can be open to receive the answer from our intuitive creative mind. In [The MacGyver Secret] Zlotoff proposes a very clear and easily applied method for becoming more creative and productive!”

As a teenager or college student, I would have appreciated this. I particularly like the ‘inner’ work.

“Several months ago, I was at an entrepreneur / startup event in Albuquerque and Lee was one of the speakers. This time he not only outlined the process and coached us through it, he explained the neuroscience. I’ve been studying neuroscience for a while, and what he said made total sense to me. Especially when he explained the time frames.
‘If it’s simple question,’ he said, ‘like, “How do I make this scene work?”, the answer will probably emerge pretty quickly. But if it’s a big, strategic life question, it may take three or four or five attempts.’
So, I wrote out my question (for the fourth time) and then forgot about it. About four hours later, in the middle of another presentation, I suddenly pulled out my notepad and wrote out a strategic vision / mission statement. And it was THE answer to my fundamental question – now that I’ve retired, what is the life work that will allow me to apply my passion, my purpose and my talent?
Eight months later, I’m still operating out of that answer and loving it. And I’m using the MacGyver Secret for other questions in my life. When I need a title for an article or the punchline for a speech, I no longer sit at my computer staring in frustration at the blinking cursor. I write the question as specifically as possible, then go for a walk or head down to my studio to paint. And somewhere along the way, the answer emerges.

I like the specifics and structure, especially as a researcher, writer and speaker because I often get “stuck” not necessarily when I’m writing, but when I’m attempting to organize. I’ve used the process to outline and write a sequence of plot events and research steps, and it WORKS! Thank you Lee

I was delighted to come across this method for invoking creative faculties in a way that doesn’t require a spiritual orientation. I’ve been training and using spiritual-based methods for inviting “answers” to questions for several years, attempting to “master” intuition, clairvoyance etc as a means for working with my own life issues and for my coaching clients. While I’ve had great success at these other methods for my clients, it’s been more challenging to gain clarity for myself due to those darn egoic voices that pop in. Also, some of my clients resist the spiritually-oriented methods, so have been looking for a process that wouldn’t require them imagining a higher/future/divine self. As a scientist, I also enjoyed the integration of the neuroscience behind the effectiveness of this method (even though the same applies for methods that are spiritually-based). Have already had some success with using the method in just two days, and excited to continue to practice it over time and introduce it to my clients for gaining answers to difficult questions!

I grew up watching Macgyver on TV and of course I wished I could save the world with chewing gum and duct tape. Well we are facing times of uncertainty right now and I was thrilled to learn the practical secrets behind Macgyver’s success. [The MacGyver Secret] taught me a simple model to not only face the life challenging problems, but also how to find solutions to those problems.
