Leadership & Creativity

Leadership & Creativity

I attended a weekend workshop on Intuitive Painting last week. My purpose was to open up more creativity in my business. Chris Zydel, the workshop leader, demonstrated the principles of creative process by having each one of us focus on a blank canvas and just start anywhere. My logical brain, the one that wanted to end up with a pretty picture, was flummoxed. As Chris says, “you cannot rely upon the accomplished, well-trained and ultimately well-behaved aspect of yourself to lead you anywhere new”. How many of us in business are willing to explore the wild and unfamiliar paths that could either end up a mess or a breakthrough to some new way of thinking? How many of us expect a product breakthrough sandwiched in between meetings? After two days and six paintings, I began to see that the process of creation has a voice that calls out what it needs and I can trust it. How many of you need a Creativity Boost?
