Welcome to the Creativity Helm blog

When did you last create something?

Welcome to the creativity helm blog. So, when did you last create something? I don’t just mean painting a picture or writing a poem, because creativity is about so much more than that. So let me rephrase the question:

When was the last time you…

• Found a new solution to a problem?
• Created content for social media?
• Planned a project?
• Rearranged your living room?
• Reprioritized tasks in a bigger project?
• Mediated conflict between co-workers?
• Deviated from a recipe to make your own version of a dish?
• Doodled on paper or tapped out a rhythm on the kitchen table?

The truth about creativity

These, and countless others, are all acts of creativity. Yet too often we don’t recognise them as such. Instead, creativity has been co-opted to mean something rare or extraordinary, as if it’s an elite superpower possessed by artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

Our natural creative capacity

But here’s the truth: creativity is a fundamental human capacity.

It’s our ability to imagine, explore, and bring something new into being. It’s about curiosity and experimentation, and, of course, it’s also about problem-solving, decision-making, and yes—making mistakes, embracing them, and making the most of them.

Creativity is hardly ever linear, formulaic, and it’s most definitely not reserved for a select few. Rather, it’s messy, uncertain, deeply personal, and available to absolutely everyone.
