Ready to break out of the box and get those creative juices flowing?
As a creativity coach, Giovanni Corazza knows how to get out of the box and generate ideas. At TEDxRoma, he
shares four methods for unleashing your creativity: using divergent information, mixing and matching disciplines, using metaphors, and experimenting.
If you're looking to get out of a creative rut, try one of Giovanni's methods! Use convergent information as a
starting point and then add a divergent modifier to see where it takes you. You might be surprised at the possibilities.

You can only do this with patience. 7:07 - Apply theories and concepts to areas that were never applied to before. 7:17 - Creative thinking is about finding many alternatives and choosing the best answer, not about finding the right* answer. 9:15 - If your environment punishes mistakes, you will never be creative. 9:50 - Combine different disciplines to create new ideas using metaphors.
Have a great weekend!
