What is creativity?
Does it simply mean we are good at drawing, painting or music?
Or does it represent something else that all of us can tap into to discover our true potential?
How can you find that spark of creativity in yourself and others that helps us to think differently about the world and the problems and challenges we all face?
In today’s episode, I am speaking with Sarah Cressall OBE who helps to bring creativity into education, entertainment and business
We discuss:
· Why we have such a narrow view of what creativity is and how it can enhance our lives
· What each of us can do to spark more creativity in a world that is becoming increasingly led by AI and instant solutions.
