🌅 Monday evening plans?

This month, we’re exploring one of the least talked-about creative sub-habits: intuition.

That gut feeling we ignore at our peril.

This outcome is a testament to Cragside’s confident, relational, reflective, and outward-looking creative leadership. We’ve learned a huge amount from working with them, and we’re intrigued to see where their journey leads next!

It's been a busy weekend! I'd the privilege to attend @cceengland.bsky.social roundtable Leading for Creative Thinking in association with @collegeofteaching.bsky.social at @ulsteruni.bsky.social It was great to be in room with such inspiring and passionate educators @womenednireland.bsky.social

What if, instead of fearing uncertainty, we learned to work with it and what can the humanities and artists teach us about embracing it?

Join us online this Wed 19 March, 16.30 (GMT) with @margaretheffernan.bsky.social as we discuss her new book and apply the principles!

This activity invites you to reflect on how scientists think, consider the overlap with the five Creative Habits and design professional learning that will encourage those teaching science or running afterschool science or engineering clubs, to embed creativity in their work.

What might accountability look like if it fostered innovation rather than fear? If it encouraged professional trust, creativity, and continuous learning?

Imagine if an inspection framework was co-created with diverse stakeholders—teachers, parents, children, and system leaders—rooted in a shared vision of education’s purpose in a changing world.

At Leading for Creative Thinking, we support system leaders to challenge assumptions and think differently—because in the face of complex challenges, fresh perspectives aren’t just helpful, they’re essential.
