My name is Aaron Lee and based on a lifetime of exploring, practicing and playing with creativity, I’ve been able to create and live a life that I truly love.
By bringing awareness to the idea that creativity is both a learnable and essential skill and is not just reserved for some naturally “artistic” talent pool, I firmly believe that anyone can be reconnected to the 5-year-old creative genius you once knew
…and that genius is capable of anything.
In fact, the World Economic Forum recently ranked creativity as third on their list of top 20 skills for success in the 21st century. Based on collective research into both the neuroscience of creativity and studies dating back decades, creativity is just a dormant ability that we were each born with but have lost access to over time.
A groundbreaking study, commissioned by NASA in 1968 overwhelmingly demonstrated that creativity is not a skill that we learn, but rather it is something that 98% of us unlearn by the time we reach adulthood.
What if, through a combination of reframing the idea of creativity away from being an “artistic” ability instead to a universal and very learnable skill, we could introduce you to a set of repeatable tools and practices, that would allow you to experience what it feels like to have unlimited creative potential once again?
"Creative thinking comes second, ahead of three self-efficacy skills – resilience, flexibility and agility; motivation and self-awareness; and curiosity and lifelong learning – which recognize the importance of workers' ability to adapt to disrupted workplaces.
