#AI Is a Tool, Not a Replacement: Generative AI can assist with certain creative tasks, but the essential human skill of “problem finding”—asking the right questions—remains at the heart of true creativity.

Build Your Creative Infrastructure: Sustainable creativity requires supportive systems—idea capture, regular review, and collaborative feedback structures are essential.

Creative Rhythm Is Personal: Everyone’s daily emotional and energy cycles are different. Understanding and aligning your creative tasks to these rhythms leads to better results.

Emotions as Informational Tools: Emotions aren’t just happening to us—they’re signals we can decode and use to drive creative action and problem solving.

Intentional Creativity Over Inspiration: Waiting for flashes of inspiration is risky—real creative progress comes from deliberate, systematic practices and choices.

The Creativity Choice In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to choose creativity, rather than simply waiting for inspiration to strike. We open with the fascinating ori…

Very much agreed, @createdbyrcw.bsky.social. With one difference. I would not use the word fearless. We do not have to comfortable to do something. We have to choose to do it anyway.

I am reading this right after someone told me this as feedback to a letter I wrote. Dear universe, message received :)

A colleague introduced me in ChatGPT pics before a talk. What this act of everyday creativity did:
1️⃣ Fun for her
2️⃣ It made me smile, 3 hands, oddly critical look at art, and all
3️⃣ It set the mood of openness for the talk

One of my favorite events of the year, Designing the Empathy summit in New York.

If you are a museum professional or academic or entrepreneur working to create understanding and care, this is the place and a community for you.

Oh, yes. I would add inspiring conversations with random people, social supporters (I could not have written my book without husband having taken on more than a fair share of childcare), and engaged editors (even if our first reaction is annoyance, they do tend to have a point).

⁉️ The counterintuitive importance of problem construction. Exploring what might be and resisting the pressure of that you-have-to-be-productive-every-minute voice are key. Because in the long run you will be more creative.

🎢 The emotional rollercoaster of creative work. And how to cope with it. (The key is not in getting more comfortable, but to accepting and take the edge off from the discomfort)

We talked about...

🚧 Barriers to creativity (Confidence fuels creativity, but doubt is also part of the creative process)

Creativity depends less on what we feel than on how we use and manage emotions. My chat with Rob Emmerling for the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations podcast

The Hidden Psychology Behind Failed Dreams, with Yale’s Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle Podcast Episode · Afford Anything · 18/07/2025 · 1h 6m

#Creativity exists in every area of human work. But it does not stop there. We also have lives outside of work and we can actively create them. This includes envisioning, planning, and designing particular #career and personal trajectories and goals

That is very kind of you to share. So glad you found it helpful

Thank you for the shout-out to The Creativity Choice!!!

And to make it, we need something unexpected. Michael Mink aptly calls it stirring the emotional cauldron. #Creativity is a mix of curiosity, excitement of new ideas, growing from frustration, empathy for those we create for and for our teams (to build trust and inspire).

We don't capitalize on promising ideas from many reasons, from self-doubts to convincing ourselves that they are too risky (and just not reasonable to take a chance on).

@ibdinvestors.bsky.social reminding us that creativity is much than good or even brilliant ideas. We need to move on it and that is hard
