The Global Creativity Initiative Podcast
Creativity from Bus to Business
In this episode, Pauliina Valpas, co-founder of Yellow Method AI in Finland, explores how creativity fuels innovation especially as a problem-solving process. From identifying the right challenge to implementing solutions, creativity is present at every step. And if that sounds a bit abstract, Pauliina invites you to rethink what creativity looks like. Sometimes it happens on the fly, or even on a bus.
She shares a formative childhood story of solo travel that helped her develop a comfort with complexity and the unknown, skills that would later feed into her passion for creative work. Combining this with a deep love for the arts, Pauliina has built a career that marries intuition, adaptability, and structured creative thinking.
Pauliina’s Pro Tips for Boosting Your Creativity:
- Recognize Your Own Creativity
Everyone is creative. It just shows up differently depending on the context. Whether you're solving a work problem or navigating daily life, creativity is there. - Start a Positive Circle
Use journaling for reflection and creating a positive feedback loop. This practice not only strengthens your creative thinking, but also builds confidence and momentum to keep going.
