Beyond Ideas: Diving into the Depths of your Innate Creativity
Using your ideas in the world, to get to the deep creative nurturing of your inner world ...
Putting BIF into the world this week has me at the coal of 2 seemingly different domains - but as it goes, they resolve to the same place that asks the same questions to surface the required new-value outcomes.
One is enterprise - specifically focused on working with Senior Execs to explore the bleeding edge of creative strategies (Beyond the brainstorm) that can adapt to the changing nature of Artist fandom (love this pioneering space).
The other domain is parenting - cocreating with beautiful humans the BIF principles of nurturing our little people into their big ideas, and what that calls out in us in terms of first reparenting our own creativity (love this loving space!).
In both cases, we quickly step past the ideas we might craft in the world - which one time I would have said are the easy part, but perhaps the demands of current existentialism not so much - to that place from which they come that is the deeper creative intelligence of our inner world.
For most humans I work with this deep creative space is new.
Beyond fleeing spontaneous bursts of thoughts, their wells of creative capacity are deep, mysterious and unknown.
But once got at, the realisation flows the getting below their own water line is to dive into so much more than just an idea - that the neuroscience of their creative brain becomes the pathway to unconscious frequencies of who we are, how we are and who we might become… resonant truths that can empower us intrinsically and extrinsically - from rebuilding mental health, well-being, and resilience to new high-performance as parents and professionals.
So supporting whoever it be - senior clients, parents and carers, or indeed little idea superheroes - the BIF space of combining ideas from you in the world (new value) because of the ideas of you in your inner world (creating) is a radical, meaningful place of fulfilment where everyone profits.
Words sound trite, but the I mean it when I say the opportunity to serve is a real privilege. I'm starting to think this is me at my best (and I've been scratching around this space for a loooong time).
