5 ways to be more creative and innovative

 

1. Don’t wait for inspiration as there is no such thing as “the muse”. Turn up every day and do the work.
2. Be remarkable. This doesn’t mean eccentric or odd but is based on building meaningful relationships with clients.
3. Thrash out a project at the beginning so that you have buy-in early and the CEO is not asked to approve something when a project is about to launch.
4. Guard against the error of inaction and worry less about work being perfect. Ship it into the world when it is “good enough”.
5. Focus on “real skills” before technical ones: empathy, connection, humanity, trust, integrity and emotional intelligence.
