Insight from my grad class on creativity
Description
In this solo-episode, I share some insight about the graduate class I'm teaching - Creative Problem Solving in Mass Communication. I designed the class to connect students with creative entrepreneurs, business and media leaders. This semester, my students have met with three fantastic guest lecturers.
- Wendy Conklin, founder of Chair Whimsy
- Dr. Carrie Angell, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau
- Fred Poston III, Exec. Director - Texas Media Production Alliance
When we open ourselves to different perspectives, we unlock powerful creative resources for personal and professional growth.
Key Points:
• Creativity is a process that can be learned
• A growth mindset and curiosity leads to creativity
• Creative processes don't need to be neat to be authentic and effective
• Embracing uncertainty can transform negative situations into positive catalysts
Think about how you can apply these creative insights to your own life.
How might you bring more creativity to the problems you're facing and take creative action today?
