I always admired creative people. Humans who can cook up a storm, paint and sculpt, turn their garden into an oasis, make a house a home, dance and move gracefully, write soulful poetry or nail-biting thrillers, and turn everyday objects into pieces of art.

And I secretly wished I were creative.

One lucky day, I read this quote and it changed the way I saw creativity: If you see something in someone else, you probably have it too.

It immediately got me thinking that somehow, somewhere I must be creative because why else would I recognise this quality in others?

I started researching and studying the concept of creativity and I learned, amongst others, that observation and awareness are two important components of becoming more creative – see the link between the quote above and the first step in becoming creative?

I also discovered that recognising our own kind of creativity is the hardest part improving one’s creative intelligence.

But once you have mastered this skill you start seeing yourself and life in a completely different light. You realise that creativity is essential for living a full and meaningful life. You also grasp that to be successful, healthy and happy in business and life this is the ONE lifelong skill to learn and exercise daily.

Apart from realising that I’m a co-creator with the Universe and responsible for building my future, my findings brought me so much joy that I’ve decided that the rest of the world must know and experience it too.

I have poured by heart and soul into developing a unique experience that combines all my learnings, skills and experience to teach ambitious individuals how to build their future – the creative way.
