The Lie That You’re Not Creative
Summary
Creativity is no longer a “nice to have.” As technology takes over efficiency and execution, creativity has become the essential human skill – fueling clarity, adaptability, and connection in times of rapid change. This session reframes creativity not as talent, but as a core capability anyone can access. Through practical tools and real-world examples, participants will learn how creativity helps us navigate uncertainty, think more flexibly, and stay grounded, resilient, and human in an increasingly automated world.
