I can't draw to save my life!

Do you ever hear people say this? Often the person has just been asked to draw a small diagram on a piece of paper or presentation board in front of others. I don't think the leader asking them to draw was intending the outcome to hold their life in the balance. I don't think the person really believes they will ever be put to such a test! It is normally a statement that replaces others such as, "I'm not very good at drawing", "I hate drawing", or "I'm not creative at all!"

These thoughts could all be true. Or, the person could just be unfavourably judging their perceived performance by what they might have seen of their colleagues or on YouTube or Facebook.

I have found that with this example the barrier to creativity is the simple word "can't". Once we start to replace it with 'I can try' then that seems to unlock your mental permission to release some creativity. The rate of creative thoughts in people is not the same and the style, taste and range is different.

Now, whether we think we are creative or not does not generally affect our ability to appreciate the things we experience that truly are very creative.

Let's work together to unlock the creative ideas and inject them into the marketing and communication solutions you require.

Everything I do in business, home and recreation has a strong creative current running through it. I have always been that way and continue to feed my mind and soul with things that will encourage it. When we work together I will try and draw out as many creative ideas, desires and visionary thoughts from you and your team as I can. I will make recommendations, create some demonstration pieces of work and do all I can to add the creative sparkle that makes things stand out from the crowd. We will enjoy this creative journey together.

So if we are working together on a corporate annual report, a mobile app game or a range of new business cards you will get the same level of creative flare!
