We're all born creative. When we are young, we are at the height of our creative and imaginative powers.

Then, as we age, it slowly gets depleted and drained out of us-with far too many end up going through their lives, never fully realizing their creative potential. Sir Ken Robinson, an international advisor on education in the arts, said that we don't grow into creativity; we get educated out of it.

This book will help anyone rediscover their creative power, the power they knew as a child, the energy that today is needed more than ever to help businesses thrive and be innovative. Consider that our world has seen more change in the last hundred years than in the previous million years, and it's easy to see that we have entered what is known as the creative age.

Growing up, I spent a great deal of time wondering about the career path I would choose to earn my living. The challenge was choosing a career where I could get paid doing something I loved.

Easier said than done, right? However, I always felt a strong pull toward the more creative aspects of life, so an art career made the most sense-writing, painting, design, and photography. One thing I wish I had known before starting my career was the inherent creative bias that I would experience in the business world because I live out of the right side of my brain.

Now, compelling new research proves what creative people often experience when trying to be innovative. After over 30 years working in a wide range of creative roles, I experienced firsthand how creativity is often a much-maligned and misunderstood ideological construct.

I spent my career trying to alter that mindset. Finally, I'm ready to share what I've learned.

This book aims to shine a light on creativity and how to use it as a positive force for change, using real-world examples of how creativity, when used properly, can solve almost any problem it encounters. The book is a guide for anyone who works creatively or manages people where creativity is needed.

It would also help those who understand how creative people think and work. More importantly, it will help anyone rediscover their inner genius and show how to apply creativity in personal and business life.

Through the use of real-world situations, in both corporate and small business environments, the stories contained in this book have the power to invigorate and reignite the creative force that lives inside every single one of us. .
