The Dr CK Bray Show

As I contemplated what gift I could give our tribe of listeners this year, I concluded that Curiosity and Creativity would make the most significant difference for you in 2022. Curiosity and creativity work together as a spark for breakthrough innovation in your personal and professional life. At this time of year, we are thinking of what goals and new year’s resolutions we want to set for 2022. I suggest one of the most important goals you can set for yourself is to be curious about your life in 2022, which leads to increased creativity. In this episode, I dive into the benefits of curiosity and two barriers that keep you from being creative. I also explore how they impact both your personal and professional life. Using personal examples, a few case studies, and some outstanding research, I hope to open up a new perspective for you in 2022. Enjoy!
