Creative Thinking for SMEs & Entrepreneurs
Unlock Your Inner Leo: Creative thinking workshop
Recent research revealed something quite sad about our creativity. Two researchers went into schools and asked classes of 6-year-olds if they considered themselves to be creative. Every kid raised his or her hand.
The researchers then asked 7-year-olds. Most kids raised their hands. But not all.
The researchers continued, asking progressively older kids the same question. By the time they got to 14-year-olds, only one in three still considered themselves creative.
The fact is that we are all born with the potential to be really creative and inventive, but over time we lose the skills to think creatively and we lose the belief in our own creativity.
Creativity and innovation are buzzwords in business today. Few of us are lucky enough to express our creativity – at work, in play, in sport, in life.
