THE POWER OF UNCERTAINTY

When Ralph Kerle pitched me the Creative Leadership Forum and the Creative Skills Training Council he resurrected my own dormant world of business-focused creativity. The passion I have that grew from my commitment to a world where art and commerce, science and culture are all one world. Work I did in the 1980s where I used my ability as a writer, a creator of myths and stories, to transform business cultures. The latent power I discovered waiting to burst forth from Renaissance masterworks and old Hollywood movies. The 1990s, though, saw the barriers go up to words like ‘creativity’, ‘ethics’, ‘personal development’ in the corporate world. But now the barriers are coming down again.

 

The strength that being a creative artist in my field gave me was the strength to live with uncertainty and ambiguity. To set sail not knowing the final nature of the destination: just knowing that it was out there and I would find it. The strength to go with a hunch and make it happen.

 

These are the strengths needed right now in the business and corporate world. These are the places where you can learn those strengths.
