Attitude:

Mastering A Creative MindsetDescribing key take-aways from ‘A

Crash Course on Creativity’

Hannah Gough

December 2012

What was most valuable?

My most valuable take away lesson is learning to take the time to be creative. I have learnt that creativity cannot be

rushed and it often took me 2 or 3 sittings to get the best ideas as I

reflected on initial thoughts.

Good things come to those who wait…but do not be mistaken to do nothing and sit idly!

What was most surprising?

I am surprised how easily games and amusements can be fashioned out of everyday household items. I really

enjoyed inventing ‘Umbrella Ovenella’ and having my workmates play it to see if it

would work.

What will you be able to use in your

daily life?

Teaching others to be creative.

There is a belief that only certain people have the skill, but I will encourage everyone that I come into contact with to trust that they can be as creative as they desire, they just need to try.

There is no such thing as a bad idea
