–  Kanye West

Creativity isn’t just for musicians, or artists, or photographers in New York City. It’s an asset in all industries, sectors, and disciplines. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines creativity as, “the ability to make new things or create new ideas.” Learn more about creativity in a professional environment with this Learn Now Guide.

Here’s your task:

Check out this Huffington Post article – 100 ways to be more creative at work. Here are your tasks:

  • Identify 4-5 strategies from the list that you’ll use to be more creative throughout the month of February in your placement. Comment this post by COB Tuesday, February 9, with the ones you chose.
  • Comment again throughout the month, reflecting on the strategies you used. What went well? What could have been better? What will you try again? How can you use this strategy in the future? Post at least one reflection by Tuesday, March 1.
  • Right before spring break begins, respond to at least two other PAFs’ reflections – offer advice, ask questions, or talk about how your experiences compare. Post your responses by Tuesday, March 8.

This process will take the place of a weekly meeting competency training. Each post should only take about 10 minutes of your time (30 minutes total).

Looking forward to reading about your experiences!
