In order to advance, business people must demonstrate regular “A-Ha! Moments” – defined as “suddenly coming to a conclusion and shouting ‘A-Ha!’” With at least five per month required to be considered innovative, more workers are turning to the A-Ha! Amp.
Here’s why: Statistics show that 17,244,234,098 A-Ha! moments occurred in 2017, often as many as seven or eight during a single one-hour meeting. That’s up 80 percent since 2015, mainly due to increased competition for fewer jobs.
Thus, it’s becoming more and more difficult to be heard when shouting “A-Ha!” – particularly for aging workers who get drowned out by younger people.
“I had seven A-Ha! Moments in 2017,” says Paul, a 62 year-old pre-planner from Portland, Oregon. “I don’t think my boss heard one of them.”
That all changed when he bought the A-Ha! Amp.
Developed by Glomish, makers of Notary-in-a-Can, the quarter-inch speaker is built into a pen placed in the breast pocket, with a miniature microphone that slides invisibly into either nostril. The device increases A-Ha! volume by an average of 17 decibels and can be cranked up to as high as 35 in especially noisy environments.
“The first time I used it I got three thumbs-up!” says Paul. “I drowned out a woman in her 20s who was having a moment about toothpicks.” A month later Paul found himself promoted to senior pre-planner.
“I don’t believe that’s a coincidence,” he says.
