Today, we’re flipping the script from endless problem-solving to the most underrated 'beyond resilience' quality of all: creativity. YOURS!

Angela enthusiastically reveals that after much research, she notice our learned focus on overcoming and enduring completely masks our natural born creative power. The gift every human gets at birth

Are you confusing your creativity with artistic talent? This isn’t about arts and crafts! Or knowing how to paint. It's about our fundamental human capacity to create new ways forward, independent of circumstances. Because that's just what we do!

Forget the old "resilience" grind of just bouncing back from the next hurdle; this podcast is all about redimensioning to creative leadership!

Key Points:

• Everything we know about "resilience" is linked to a reactive, problem-solving mindset, & about bouncing back from adversity, until the "next rock" hits us. Are we only going to define ourselves by the next hurdle?
• This podcast highlights the important shift from reactive to creative leadership, recognizing our innate ability to create rather than just endure.
• Society dismisses traditional creativity (art, music) as soft and inconsequential yet paradoxically fears true creative thinking because it challenges the status quo.
• Real creativity, like fixing a car with a hairpin or making a meal from leftovers, is about finding new solutions and possibilities, often for the pure joy of it.
• In today's distributed power landscape (hello, internet!), creativity is an unstoppable force, offering new avenues for influence and leadership beyond traditional positions of power.

Key Takeaways:

• You are inherently creative; we invite you, our listener to acknowledge and embrace this fundamental aspect of yourself. Trust the process of creativity, even when you don't know where it's going – it leads to new places and better solutions.
• Give up the illusion of predictability, especially in today’s world; we need more than ever to connect with our inner creativity to navigate uncertainty.
• Let your work be infused with joy, connection, and humanity, recognizing that creativity and fun don't have to be separate from your job.
• Embrace the contagious energy of creativity to inspire ripple effects in your own life and the lives of those around you.
