You Be Creative Too is for anyone at work who wants to bring fresh ideas to life, whether in a creative role or in a job where new thinking simply makes the work better.
It draws on research showing that creativity is a skill that grows through practice and the right conditions. Here you will find wisdom on generating ideas, experimenting, noticing what is worth asking, finding flow in deep work, and building habits that keep creativity going.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow nine dimensions: Creative Confidence, Divergent Thinking, Innovation, Artistic Expression, Problem Finding, Experimentation, Flow States, Intrinsic Motivation and Creative Habits.
On WorkSmart4Life it sits on the WorkSmart library shelf, and it is one of the editions The Edge can give as a level reward for practice in Craft courses, the move about shaping the job you already have. The sales page suggests a nine-week programme, one dimension a week, so I suggest you begin with Creative Confidence and build belief in your own creative capacity.
