Is Creativity a Teachable Skill?
“Creativity isn’t necessarily an elusive concept, but rather something that requires a robust process and a commitment to excellence. When we’re blown away by the creativity of a designer’s portfolio, what we are really seeing is hours and hours of focused, hard graft. Very few of us will magic up a concept in the shower and have a finished logo and comprehensive brand identity pulled together by lunchtime. It’s really about working to a brief with a tried and tested process that you know, given time and effort will produce an excellent end result. It’s about sweating the small things, noticing the detail and ensuring that every subtle nuance is just so. And that’s something that’s very teachable“. – Fiona Humberstone, The Brand Stylist
That really clarifies what creativity is, doesn’t it? Creativity isn’t a magic gift that only a special few possess. Creativity is showing up, day after day, using methods that are tried and true to solve problems.

This year, I encourage you to teach yourself the skill of creativity by showing up and putting in the required time and effort. After all, promises, prayers, and resolutions are blueprints. Actions are bricks.
