Cultivating Your Creativity Can Make You More Effective

Actively cultivating creative power can be a revelation. It changes your brain, your outlook, your perception, and your problem-solving ability. It can also enhance your work in the consulting room. That’s the opinion of Michael Gelb, world’s leading authority on the application of genius thinking to personal and organizational development. It’s critical, Michael says, for therapists to attend to their own individual fulfillment and wholeness. That means taking care of ourselves, strengthening and integrating the creative part of our brains with the linear, learning new skills, and building our social capital. In this short video, Michael explains four simple practices that can help you on your way.

Michael Gelb is the world’s leading authority on the application of genius thinking to personal and organizational development. He is the author of 12 books on creativity and innovation, including the international best seller How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. This clip is taken from his session in our brain science video course:
