I am starting this blog because after six years of working in corporate life, I am so in tune with the fact that most executives understand the need to be creative and drive innovation in their organizations, but it is hard.
I know. I travel 2-3 weeks per month. I have a team that needs me to keep projects moving and make sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed in a heavily bureaucratic environment. Not to mention the expense reports, full day workshops, budget meetings, planning meetings, team building activities, and industry events you are required to attend, in addition to just plain "getting the word done."
So how do you get time and "creative space" to just sit and let your mind wander in front of a blank piece of paper (or a napkin, or the back of a boarding pass, or your hand!)
How do you actually get time to turn your great ideas into reality?
How do you provide the right environment for your team to think outside of the way its always been done to create the next big thing?
I don't have the answers- but I am committed to providing the tips and tricks that I have come across to help you find your creative space.
