Opportunity is all around us. Passion is the spark that illuminates it.

Whether you are trying to position yourself for the next promotion within your company, or if you’re trying to sell your ideas as a consultant to a prospective client, the quality of your thinking matters like never before.

Creativity is an incredible way to differentiate you from other people who do the same thing that you do. No one can duplicate your creative mindset, your learnings, your experience.

It's been said that luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Become knowledgeable enough about the focus of your passion that you're able to RECOGNIZE the ideas, inspirations and possibilities all around you.

In times of massive change, the conventional ways of doing things are dying, twitching at the side of the road. There’s never been a better time to experiment. What will you create?

AI/Creativity Application

During the problem definition stage of creative problem-solving, use AI to research other industries or professions that may have solved similar problems. Your goal is to adapt part or all of their solution to your needs, Or to inspire you’re thinking in new directions.

Contrary to popular belief, creativity is not a birthright. It's a skill that can be cultivated. In our current age of disruption and rapid change, it's in your best interests to do so.

It's really very simple: If you want to advance in your career during these times of uncertainty, you need to become a better (and more creative) problem solver.

The direction of our thinking is determined by the questions we ask. Asking mediocre questions tends to lead us down well-worn, rutted paths of thinking. Creative minds continually ask excellent questions, which enable them to continually formulate and refine ideas.
