Creativity
The process of having original ideas that have value

Life Outside The Box
Convergent vs Divergent Thinking
“But I’m not the
creative type of
person”
WRONG
Who can be creative?
Creativity is not just for artists, musicians, writers, and designers. We
are all creative, but the people who are known for it have spent time
cultivating it, failing at it, and working at it

THE CREATIVE PROCESS
Loving what you do gives
you courage to survive the
creative process…
If changes occur in
a social, political, economic or
demographic level, if new
inventions are discovered that
provide new knowledge,
then opportunities can exist.

How-to Cultivate
your Creativity
THE 7 DARES!
ARE YOU READY?
#1
Dare to Embrace
Failure, but fail
wisely
Allow yourself to embrace
the process of
experimentation. This
doesn’t mean that being
wrong equals to being
creative. But if you are not
prepared to be wrong you
will never come up with
anything original
Remember that the biggest
inventions in history
happened by accident.
#2
Dare to take
action
If you only do what you
can do you will never be
better that you are
If you have ideas, but don’t
act on them, you are
imaginative but not
creative
#3
Dare to stay
curious
The ability to challenge
basic assumptions,
empowers divergent and
critical thinking.
The more critical thinker
you become the better
chances are to discover
or create something
novel!
#4
Dare to Be you
What are you really good
at?
What are your values?
What are your
weaknesses?
#5
Dare to Work on
something you
are truly
passionate about
Boyan Slat, just 19 years
old, designed The world’s
first ocean cleaning
system dedicated for
cleaning plastic waste from
the oceans.
Boyan is obsessed with
diving and upset about all
the waste that destroys our
oceans
#6
Dare to Be
persistent
You never know
how
Close you are…
never
Give up on your
dreams.
Stick to the
process. Results
do come over time
not over night.
#4
Dare to have life
experiences
If Steve Jobs didn’t take
Calligraphy classes in his
youth, today Apple’s
designs might not have
been provided it’s
elegance.
“It was the first computer
with beautiful typography,”
Jobs said. “If I had never
dropped in on that single
course in college, the Mac
would have never had
multiple typefaces or
proportionally spaced
Creativity
Really good associative memory.
-Joe Zeoli
So you have to trust that the dots
will somehow connect in your
*THERE ISN’T ANY LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR CAREER AND YOUR LIFE.
