Creativity and Changer Leadership
Abstract
What is a creative person? Is creativity something one is born with, or can it be cultivated through education and practice? In today’s world, there is a gap between what people assume creativity is and what it really is. My early exposure to creativity has been a transformational learning experience for me and has changed my approach to everything in my life. I have always been curious about how creativity could increase mental health and wellbeing. The purpose of this project is to help people understand the unique traits of people who embrace their own creativity and how their stories align with the research and literature in the field.
