Unpacking Creativity in the World of Work with Paul Bourne
In today's episode, Caroline talks to Theatre Director, Business Storyteller, Entrepreneurship Teacher and Corporate & Start-consultant Paul Bourne about creativity in the world of work. They discuss how organisations can create a culture of opportunity that allows the individual to open up to become more motivated and self-determining. How diversity in thinking is key to entrepreneurial success and how creating a voice where there is none is the surest route to autonomy.
Please join Caroline as she and her guests look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You don’t have to work in the creative industries to be creative at work. It’s all about new ideas.
- Create a culture where people regularly question how tasks are done and work to improve.
- Diversity of thinking, experience and perspective provides more fuel for creativity within business.
- Look for problems nobody is tackling, then do something about them.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Don't just narrow down on a task … open up into opportunity bandwidth. ´
‘If you don't have a voice, create a voice… be heard.’
‘That has to be in the culture. It has to come from the leadership team.’

PODCAST DESCRIPTION
This is a podcast series about discovery, understanding, revelation, and stories.
How we perceive the world is rooted in everything that has influenced us throughout our lives, emotionally and psychologically. We become the sum of our parts and each of us has our own unique view of the world. 'Vision' truly is an act of interpretation.
In this podcast series through fascinating conversations, I set about trying to understand how we form our perceptions, view different perspectives, and examine how perception has influenced, inspired, or hindered the lives of each of my unique guests.
