Risk Failure:what you just promised

No Brain
Learn to draw:and you learn to see things more as they are
Do a creativewriting class
Do a creative writing class:and you’ll improve the way you
observe and understand things as well as the way you try and communicate
these things to other people.
Do an Improv workshop
Its not stand-up comedy
Listening is more than simply not talking when the other person is
talking:
How is what you do next, after they finish talking, influenced by what they just said or have said previously? (exactly like
the Story-line exercise from a minute ago)
It looks and feels like ordinary conversation but it isn’t
Do an Improv workshop:and you’ll become a better listener (and
observer but we didn’t get to that exercise today…)
Play improvised music with other people
You got to sing like you don't need the moneyLove like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watchin’It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work.
"Come From The Heart" by Susanna Clark & Richard Leigh
Play improvised music with other people:
..and learn the power of non-verbal communication in creativity and life
Creativity and innovation are risky but potentially rewarding activities that are very paradoxical:
You risk rejection –to get accepted
You’ve got to let go – to catch something
Don’t forget the promise you made….
