You’re More Creative Than You Think: Busting the Myths
Many believe “I’m just not a creative person.” That’s a lie we tell ourselves. You just might be creative in unexpected ways.
We often have a narrow definition of creativity, limiting ourselves to painting or music, etc.
- Problem-solving is creative: Did you find a clever workaround for something? That’s creativity!
- Systems are an act of creation: Designing an efficient workflow takes imaginative thinking.
- Storytelling is powerful: How you frame your brand narrative, that’s an act of creative communication.
- Connecting dots no one else sees: Spotting an opportunity by combining unrelated trends? Very creative!
- Playfulness is the gateway: Don’t take yourself so seriously, allow for experimentation.
- Creativity is a muscle: The more you consciously use it, the stronger it gets.
Describe a time you solved a problem creatively, even if you didn’t think of it that way then.
