Tapping Creativity

What is the first step to choosing what project to do? For me, it’s the Brain Dump. This is where I pour down on the page all my thoughts and prospects. It answers several questions like: “If I could live 10 lives simultaneously or if money wasn't an object, what kind of things would I do creatively?” “Is this the thing that I really want to do? What are other ways that I could express that?” Or “Am I ready for that? If not, what can I do to prepare myself?”

Here’s a worksheet to guide you through with that. Brain Dump Worksheet

Have a listen and if you have questions or struggles with picking your project, reach out to me and book a 1:1 session here.

Purpose is that wellspring from which we can derive energy when things get challenging. Therefore finding your purpose for creating is essentially the first thing you should do in your creative journey.

In this episode, as we launch the 9 P’s of Powerful and Effective Creating, I’ll share what I’ve observed as the most common pitfalls when it comes to creatives finding their purpose and how this element is iterative as the creative process pans out.

Here is a worksheet to guide you with finding your purpose - getting clear on your “why”.

Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being and it is a creative process. Do you want to know the creative process that I used to make 9 Narrative Feature films, 8 documentaries, a sitcom pilot that I wrote and set up in Kenya, countless short films, music videos, commercials, I toured Europe with my acapela trio and released a CD, launched a couple of blogs and podcasts, and a couple of books? 

I call it The 9 P's of Powerful and Effective Creating.

In the next few weeks we will explore what these P’s are, and how you can use them too to achieve creative success. It is based on my book, The Creative’s Handbook, which can be found here on my website.
