It was an honor to speak about The Creativity Choice in the context of work and leadership at the Yale School of Management . I walked the audience through the lesser discussed portions of the creative process: #creativity #innovation #work #leadership #emotionalintelligence

Very much looking forward to speaking at the @learningandtheb conference in Boston. The theme is teaching thriving, social, curious, and critical thinkers. #creativity #learning #education #curiosity #criticalthinking You can check out the program: www.learningandthebrain.com/conference-5...

Hint about what to expect in The Creativity Choice? Mindset meets Grit, but for creativity. #creativity #books #booksky #mindset #grit #emotions #confidence

Surprisingly, the science of creativity did not investigate what would happen to our creative potential and how we use it if we practiced creative thinking. #creativethinking #creativity #learning #growth #personaldevelopment open.substack.com/pub/creativi...

What do we know when we know a creative person? This is one of the oldest questions in #creativity studies. We have learned much. About traits of creative individuals (openness to experience! and beyond!), their cognitive #abilities, #values and #motivation. And we are ready to ask more questions.

Among top 10 skills for 2025 the World Economic Forum lists 5 creativity-related ones. But skills are not a goal in themselves. We need to transform them into action. What do we need to put creativity skills to work? #creativity #emotions #emotionregulation #skills #futureofwork #education

The Untangle podcast is perfectly named for a discussion about creativity. It is far from linear. This conversation was a 45 min grand tour of the creative process I describe in The Creative Choice... thread... #creativity #innovation #creativeprocess podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Creativity exists on four levels (not just one) 📊 Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle (@z-i-pringle.bsky.social) from Yale: "Psychologists distinguish these four levels of creativity."

Looking forward to sharing the lessons about the emotional side of creativity, from empathy and self-compassion to frustration and self-doubt at the Designing for Empathy summit. #creativity #emotions #emotionalintelligence #art #fashion

What if doubt is actually the good part? 🤔 Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle (@z-i-pringle.bsky.social) from Yale: "There is no removing doubt. You can get better at coping with it" Maddox: "Wouldn't certainty just kill the magic?" Think about it.

Creativity isn't what you think it is 🧠 Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle (@z-i-pringle.bsky.social) from Yale: "when we think about creativity, we first go too big—Einstein, Steve Jobs, Coco Chanel. but creativity is much more." Psychologists identify FOUR levels of creativity...

Join us at the Mindful Leader Summit in Washington DC later this week. I will be speaking about creativity not as a trait but a decision leaders make every day. Registration link: #leadership #mindfulness #emotionalintelligence #creativity www.mindfulleader.org/mindful-lead...

A colleague introduced me in ChatGPT pics before a talk. What this act of everyday creativity did: 1️⃣ Fun for her 2️⃣ It made me smile, 3 hands, oddly critical look at art, and all 3️⃣ It set the mood of openness for the talk #creativity #wellbeing #relationships

One of my favorite events of the year, Designing the Empathy summit in New York. If you are a museum professional or academic or entrepreneur working to create understanding and care, this is the place and a community for you. #conference #empathy #empathymatters

One of the most expansive conversations about creativity and The Creativity Choice I had in the last few months was with Andy J. Pizza on the Creative Pep Talk podcast. #creativity #design #problemsolving #ideas #ProblemFinding #emotions www.creativepeptalk.com/512-the-scie...

Excited to share a call for articles for a special issue of Education Sciences on #aesthetics #creativity and #emotionalintelligence @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social that I am co-editing w/ John Pellitteri and Jessica Hoffmann @iaea-aesthetics.bsky.social More: www.mdpi.com/journal/educ...

Creativity depends less on what we feel than on how we use and manage emotions. My chat with Rob Emmerling for the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations podcast #creativity #innovation #emotionalintelligence #work www.eiconsortium.org

#Creativity exists in every area of human work. But it does not stop there. We also have lives outside of work and we can actively create them. This includes envisioning, planning, and designing particular #career and personal trajectories and goals podcasts.apple.com/kh/podcast/t...

@ibdinvestors.bsky.social reminding us that creativity is much than good or even brilliant ideas. We need to move on it and that is hard #TheCreativityChoice #creativity #Innovation #IDEAS www.investors.com/news/managem...

I love podcasts and chatting about The Creativity Choice. Every conversation brings new perspectives on creativity and what is surprising about it. And when the host is fellow scientist, Keith Sawyer, it is extra sparky #podcasts #creativity #booksky www.sawyerpodcast.com/zorana-ivcev...

What a challenge to summarize a book in 10 questions! It could be a creativity game/task in itself to come up with different sets of 10 questions to give an impression of The Creativity Choice. #creativity #innovation #emotion #ideas #questions www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Reminder from Sandra Oh @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social to be kind to ourselves. Imagine what you would say if a friend was stuck? And then say it to yourself when in the middle of #creativeblock or #writersblock #creativity #booksky #writingcommunity www.tiktok.com/@dartmouthco...

Book signing event! And a chance to get a signed copy of The Creativity Choice from an independent book store! Link in the comments. #booksky #books #TheCreativityChoice #creativity #booksigning

When Robin Stern asked me to be a guest on her Gaslighting Effect podcast, I was puzzled. But #creativity is making connections. And this is about agency - having it denied to you or denying it to yourself when we say we cannot do something creative. #writingcommunity #booksky

I am tired and that makes me think of travel and renewal it brings. And then, as if travel by proxy, a colleague shared pictures of my book, The Creativity Choice, that she took from Kansas to Panama and to Paraguay! #creativity #booksky #writingcommunity

On May 6, the @undp.org published its report entitled A matter of choice: People and possibilities in the age of AI. Here are some reflections. #creativity #innovation #futureofjobs #AI #artificialintelligence

Day 4 of @nytimes.com Well creativity challenge is asking when we get the most creative ideas. Are there the first thing that comes to mind? Or do they require effort and time? #creativity #thecreativitychoice #emotionalintelligence #authors #authorsky #booksky www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
