The Inner Game of Creativity Part 1: Embracing Your Creative Genius

The Inner Game of Creativity Part 1: Embracing Your Creative Genius Really interesting article on the nature of creativity, how it's defined and some prevailing issues in organizations regarding fostering creativity. I especially liked the definition of being anxious about creativity that the authors even identified a syndrome called CTPA or "creative thinking performance anxiety". I can't tell you how many people I run into that share some level of anxiety about not being "creative", can't draw or think outside the box etc. If we could just channel the fearless inner 1st grader in all of us who just barrel into design and art projects with no hang-ups. They just "do" or "make stuff", and it's generally beautiful.

Anyway, read on and enjoy learning about what it means to cultivate a sense of creativity, whether it's for personal needs or in the workplace. That's what design cultivation is all about!
