What Do I Mean by Noodling?

What do I mean by Noodling? To me, Noodling means taking an idea, question, problem, or possibility and simply talking it through. Throwing thoughts up into the air and seeing what happens.

There does not always have to be an agenda, a formula, or even a clearly defined problem.

Sometimes we just need the freedom to turn something over, look at it from different angles, follow a few unexpected paths, and see what begins to emerge.

Noodling is part conversation, part exploration, part Brainstorming, and part Sounding Board.

It may begin with, “I’ve been thinking about something…”

I often start a conversation by saying “I’ve been noodling about.. What do you think about that?”

And from there, we see where it goes.

Sometimes the answer becomes obvious.

Sometimes a completely different question appears.

Sometimes simply hearing yourself talk about something changes the way you see it.

For me, that is the value of Noodling: two people exploring something together without having to know in advance exactly where the conversation will lead.

And occasionally, we may even discover the noodle was the point all along.
