5. What is Creativity?

6. • Assumptions
We see what we think we see.
Change your assumptions and you
change the world, starting with you!
• Mental Clutter
Today’s pace of living makes it
difficult to focus, reflect and gain
perspective = overload
• Narrow mindedness
When in a box, hard to see outside and discover
opportunities. Our vision conforms to what confines
it. Difficult to avoid “group think”

7. • Fear
Puts us in a box
• Powerlessness
Keeps us in a box
• Narrow mindedness
Vision obscured. Our vision conforms to that which
confines it.
Break out of the box and find
Creativity

17. • Be brave enough to live life creatively. The
creative is the place where no one else has
ever been. You have to leave the city of your
comfort and go into the wilderness of your
intuition. You can’t get there by bus, only by
hard work and risk and by not quite knowing
what you’re doing. What you’ll discover will
be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be
yourself.
~ Alan Alda, 1936- ~
