Leonardo Da Vinci Shares Ideas on Creativity

I got the opportunity to interview Leonardo Da Vinci at the Tri-City Valley Women’s Network about Creativity.

So many people these days are trying to reach people online and it’s getting very competitive. We all want to stand-out and not be cliché.

Leonardo assured us that we can be creative if we find something we have a passion for. When in a slump some advice he gave was to take a break, go for a walk, visit a new place, read a book and look at other art.  The main thing is to find a way to look at your situation from a new perspective.

Tips on How We Can Be More Creative in Our Work

1. Take in a whole bunch of different things like reading different blogs and watching videos on TED Talks. Diversity inspires creativity. Talk to different people too!
2. Learn to quiet your mind. Keep worries out of your head by writing them down. When your head is free from stress you have more room to think and create.
3. Write down your ideas. Keep notes on your smartphone and by your bed. Have a folder for ideas.
4. Find a group of people you can share ideas with freely and not critique. Form a brainstorming group.
5. Try to notice what makes you creative and re-create those moments so you can get in the zone quickly when you need to.
6. Try to be creative. Do not be afraid to step outside the box and try something different. I strongly believe we are all born creative. Give it a try!
