Insight: Do you Need a Creative Reboot 2022 ?: The science behind creativity, and how we can use this to become better problem solvers and use this as an advantage in our worklives.

What’s the one feature of humans that makes us stand alone in the animal kingdom? It’s our ability to imagine possibilities…and to imagine requires creativity. Creativity is the most fundamentally human of qualities, a unique trait of our species and the most important asset we have.

Join us to take a deep dive into the science that fuels creativity. It explores how you can rewire your brain, understand your motivators, modify our behaviours, boost your skillset and instill habits to give a creative advantage in this rapidly changing and competitive world.

By incorporating creative thinking tools into how you manage your work life, conduct business and model behaviours, you can realise the enormous reach you have, as the creative brain has no limits.

With creative insight comes increased confidence to change your personal circumstances and in doing so the world around you, giving you understanding, knowledge and an advantage in all aspects of life.
