Creativity is not just for creatives. Sure, if you are an artist, performer or writer - hopefully you have oodles of creativity pouring out of your being. However, even if you are in a "non-creative" field, adopting a creative mindset will enhance your ability to learn new skills, communicate more effectively and solve thorny problems in unconventional ways. In fact, I would argue that in today's knowledge economy, being creative is a necessary skill to stay relevant and grow in your personal and professional life.
This newsletter is an attempt to capture my thoughts on the idea of creativity and developing a creative mindset. I will cover a wide variety of topics including the science of learning, storytelling, design thinking and innovation. I don't pretend to be an original thinker, although I do believe I have the ability to absorb a ton of information and distill them into cohesive, actionable ideas. I hope that helps.
