The Corporate Intuitive

The audio link below connects you to an interview with Steve Nobel from Alternatives in London and Alison Pothier, an ex investment banker (Wall Street and the City of London).

The talk covers how to engage your intuition in the world of work / business.
I found it a refreshing an inspirational dialogue between 2 very grounded and authentic people, exploring congruence and preserving self identity at work.

Creativity and the Beginner's Mind

Those of you familiar with our work will know that we sometimes refer to Beginner's Mind ~ the attitude of not worrying about being wrong, of not holding back for fear of a mistake, the willingness of curiosity so necessary for creativity.
In this TED lecture, Ken Robinson entertains the audience with examples of why this approach (that children are so good at) is essential for creativity.

Enjoy.

Do schools kill creativity?
