Fire in The BellyCreativity and Innovation Are One Process - Interview with Michael Lee
Today Pete speaks to Michael Lee, a certified ‘master of creativity and innovation coaching’! Michael has been some form of trainer for most of his life, beginning in TV and film. Nowadays he coaches many clients in creativity, transformation, education and more. Listen in today to learn how the ability to be creative impacts all areas of our lives and how mindset can change the amount of joy and pleasure you feel daily.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Creativity is the ability to think differently from yourself.
- Over time as we become adults we put ‘blocks’ in our way to creative thinking. We have to retrain and relearn things to remove the barriers and be truly creative.
- As humans we have spent almost all of our lives living in a similar way. Suddenly technology has really sped up our development and the inability to adapt is one of our biggest problems. If an individual can learn to pivot and be adaptable it will have an immeasurable impact on their life.
- People think innovation is ‘technology and science’ and that creativity is ‘art’. But this is a myth, they are both intrinsically linked. Creativity is coming up with the idea and innovation is implementing it. You can’t have one without the other.
- The real reward for innovation is for people who innovate and are successful. Those who innovate and fail often end up at the receiving end of negativity. This doesn’t inspire or incentivise people in society to innovate or be creative as we often have to fail multiple times before doing something successful.
- What we know about ourselves is the single most important knowledge we have. It is also the most difficult to shift.
- If what you do is in alignment with your morals and goals then you do not feel like you ‘working’. You are doing what puts fire in your belly and it is the ideal state of life.
- Being fully present in whatever you are doing, even if it is something you don’t want to do, that will make life more joyful.
