Creativity 101

Introduction to Creativity

Creativity 101 is a free tutorial to introduce you to creativity and help jumpstart your creative journey. So pull up a comfy chair, put on some soothing music and prepare to get lost in your creativity.

Where do I begin on the subject of Creativity? Creativity is so hard to discuss and teach someone about because it really doesn’t have a home of its own. It’s so intertwined and dependant on many other factors that it’s hard for someone to contain it long enough to describe. Every time I try to tell someone or even myself what exactly creativity is it immediately morphs into something completely different.

For this reason, creativity has remained largely mysterious to the human race. Most of the time we just stumble upon it and after it happens we say, “Oh, that was creative.” But it’s harder to make creativity happen and even harder still to show someone else how to make it happen.

To learn about creativity, I believe that you must participate in activities both on your own and with a group that help you to experience creativity. One person’s way of finding creativity will be different from yours and everyone expresses and uses their creativity differently. Being creative isn’t something you can learn from a book or one seminar or training session. Through your creative journey you will find that your creativity has a mind of its own and you must be brave enough to follow where it leads.

To help you get started on your journey I have compiled some basic information about creativity and the creative process. Here is a list of the chapters:

Chapter 1: Benefits

Before you begin any journey you should know why you should start in the first place, right? In this chapter I will go over the benefits you will get from improving your creative ability and show you how creativity can positively impact your personal life and your professional life.

Chapter 2: The Creative Process

Even though creativity is mysterious there is a basic flow and process Creatives go through when working on a project or solving a problem. I will take you through each step of the Creative Process to help you understand what each step “feels” like and how each step works to guide you when working on a project or solving a problem.

Chapter 3: Creative Blockers & Myths

You might not feel you are or can ever be creative. These thoughts are caused by what I call Creativity Blockers. In this chapter you will learn how to identify each one and also how to overcome them.

Chapter 4: Creative Toolbox

In order to learn more about your own unique creativity you must work with it and experience it every day. The Creative Toolbox is filled with exercises to give your creative muscles a workout and I encourage you to schedule a time each day to practice and play with your creativity.



Each chapter ends with a Workbook Exercise. I have designed a free workbook that you can download that corresponds with each chapter to help you work through each lesson and jump-start your journey to a more creative life.
