The Creative Genius in You

You have the recipe for greatness in your soul. Whether it’s expressed with water paints or widgets, you are creative. Feeding your creative side reaps rich long-term rewards—studies show that it correlates with greater professional success later in life, whether or not you pursue a field that is typically thought of as “creative”. Think about Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Einstein- all highly creative people who found success in the sciences. Those with higher creativity skills publish more books, create more artwork, execute more successful ad campaigns, file more patents, and give more lectures. In fact, the correlation between childhood creativity and adult accomplishment is three times as strong as that between childhood IQ and adult accomplishment. 
 
However, like a flame, creativity needs to be fanned, fed, and encouraged. In our world today, creativity is easily squashed; it must be handled with care, like a delicate flower. So, how can you strengthen your creative side? Some answers may surprise you. For example, a solid sleeping routine is necessary (yes, we will encourage your child to go to bed on time!), along with uninterrupted alone time, an element of artistic collaboration, and other powerful habits. Join us as we study the most creative minds of all time, study their habits, develop our own healthy habits, and discuss the science of creativity. Set yourself apart in the world; nourish your creative side and become a creative genius.
