According to LinkedIn Learning, “creativity is the single most important skill in the world.” So why is it a skill that’s often overlooked?
Having ideas is one thing but acting on them is another. That’s where creativity comes in. Creativity has a domino effect in our lives. Once practiced, it fuels innovation, enhances curiosity, and facilitates learning and development. The benefits of tapping into your creative side:
- Freedom
- Awareness and self-expression
- Innovative thinking
- Fresh ideas
- Stress relief
- Problem solving
From challenging yourself, to trying new things and expanding your knowledge, or capturing your ideas (no matter how big or small) – there are many ways you can cultivate creativity daily.
It’s time to be inspired and unleash your creative potential. Discover our handpicked events running throughout July and August (simply click the event titles for more information!):
