What’s the one feature of humans that makes us stand alone in the animal kingdom? It’s our ability to imagine possibilities…and to imagine requires creativity.
Creativity is the most fundamentally human of qualities and a unique trait of our species.
It’s the most important asset we have to negotiate through this rapidly changing world. From the way we manage our work life and conduct business, to how we learn a new skill, model behaviours for our children and shape the way we age to express our unique selves, the creative brain has no limits.
The neuroscience points to the growing understanding into what’s going on in the brain’s of highly creative thinkers and practitioners, as well as the power of brain plasticity. The brain turns out to be far more adaptable and, with the right sort of triggers, can be rewired. Creativity is whole brain activity and the more we understand this, the better we can enhance our own and others’ creative abilities.
This online program reveals the science that’s building our understanding of why some of us are more creative.
By broadening the applicability of creativity and recognising how it can elevate us both personally and professionally, we can start to realise the enormous reach we can have as parents, leaders, educators and in everyday life. We can establish the foundations of the creative advantage.
This online format includes 5.5 hours of video, a comprehensive summary of each video transcript and 23 practical activities to enable you to apply this learning to your everyday and bigger problem solving issues.
