The Global Creativity Initiative Podcast
The Global Creativity Initiative Network shares academic research for practical insights, information and application of our human superpower. Creativity is within all of us. We can and must learn to become more creative. If you haven't heard, creativity is now one of the most important skills of our time. And if you're not sure about all this 'creativity stuff,' we've got you covered. Our team gets it. We're here to translate the scholarly field of creativity into every day, accessible language and tools for all humanity. Example: The Reisman Center for Translational Research on Creativity and Motivation does exactly this. The frcenter.net provides easily available modules, tools and assistance for the development of creativity in education, professional life and yes, everyday creativity every day. Together is better.

Tolerate Ambiguity Acronym: PAC
Dr Roger Firestien is focused on finding the problem. Why? Because, "for every complex problem there's an answer that's clear, simple and wrong." Most of us solve for the wrong problem. And here's the gold: in about 5-6 minutes with the right (creativity) skills you can uncover what the real problem might be. If you have five minutes and dislike do-overs then lean in. In this episode, Roger talks about making the air right, another way of saying the environment makes space for 'what might be' to emerge. Creativity is about so many things really, and it begins with each of us, becoming aware, becoming curious and becoming more able in life through the language and skills of creative process that empowers us to tolerate ambiguity because with creativity skills we can navigate through the complex problem to the other side with a novel and valuable solution, if only momentarily (the world is ever changing, you know). And to get you started in tolerating ambiguity we've got a nice little acronym for you:
PAC: Pause, Ask, Choose.
