We’re learning a new way of interacting with others, our routines have been interrupted, and some of us have lost our jobs. Now is the time to be creative and reimagine who we are – and that takes courage. Being Creative Takes Courage Creativity takes courage. We as people get used to routines and ways of doing things that it actually limits what we can achieve. Taking the time to reimagine how we do things can be hard and scary. But welcoming creativity into your life can help you achieve more. How to Be Creative How can you be creative? Let’s start simple. Think about how you email co-workers and customers. Do you say a lot to get your point across? If so, think of ways you can simplify the communication and use as few emails as possible. The more creative you become in smaller aspects of your life, the easier it will become to be creative in bigger ways. Maybe you want to change your routine, change your perspective, or break from the mold and change how others perceive you. Creativity starts with just one step that can snowball into unlimited potential that you might not have realized you ever had.   Episode Spotlights: Where to find everything for this week’s episode: karenyankovich.com/119 Introducing this episode’s guest, Monica Kang (3:46) Monica’s journey (6:00) Creativity amid uncertainty (11:10) Examples of how to be creative (13:10) The importance of measuring your progress (14:06) Creativity takes prep-work (15:59) Building a reimagined future (19:37) The Eye of Curiosity (23:41) How to find out more about Monica (33:30)   Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Where you can find Monica Kang Website LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube [email protected] Her book Rethink Creativity Buy her Reimagine Cards Watch my video interview with Monica Kang Join the Free LinkedIn Workshop Sign up for the She’s LinkedUp Masterclass Book a mastermind session with Karen and receive a free consultation plan at karenyankovich.com/apply Join my free Facebook Group if you have any questions about today’s episode   Help Us Spread The Word!
