Ordinary Brilliance
It takes ONE MINUTE to read this mini- newsletter on how to use your "ordinary
brilliance"
to discover the secrets of solving life & business challenges.
Creativity
Thomas
Leonard, the "Father of Coaching," said "Creativity provides the
most important competitive advantage today." He felt that creativity
would be the most important skill and trait over the next 20-30
years and that we are moving from an information economy to a
creativity economy.
I believe each of us is highly creative
in our own way. Creativity is not synonymous with artistic. An
insurance salesperson or a car mechanic can be highly creative in
his or her own way. Here's a small example of my creativity. When
neighborhood dogs were chasing my cats, I built a "cat tower" for
them. It's a platform about two foot square and 4 feet high with a
little gang plank, complete with cleats made from clothespin halves
for their paws to grip on as they walk up or down. I love watching
them sit up there, watching the world, feeling safe.
If
you'd like, please send me a paragraph about how you have used your
creativity to solve a particular challenge or share what creativity
means to you? I will share the juiciest thoughts next month (and
credit you!).
