Turning Uncertainty Into Creative Thinking
Our effort to get it all under control is why we end up producing more of the same. Learn how to shift into your creative thinking by suspending judgment and reframing reality.
Highlights of my “Turning Uncertainty Into Creative Power” talk at various events globally.
One of the brain’s primary functions is making connections and recognizing patterns.
Recognizing familiar patterns makes you feel safe and comfortable. On the other hand, when a pattern is unfamiliar you feel stressed or even afraid.
Naturally, you move toward things that make you feel good and away from things that make you feel uncomfortable.
So how do you begin to grow when your brain is wired to reuse the same old patterns? You crave old patterns but our markets want us to break them and innovate.
By applying methods that force you to suspend your judgment and engage in new ways of seeing the world you will shift away from old patterns and into your growth mindset.
