Ravenyard Priorities Assessment - Creativity
CREATIVITY - the ability to produce original ideas, or to make something new or imaginative (inventiveness, originality, vision).
In crisis, it is common to see only the narrowest, darkest path forward. Creativity is imaginative, it opens us to new possibilities and helps us tap into qualities like awe and wonder.
QUESTIONS TO ASK
- Why is this your priority?
- What about this resonates with you?
- Describe qualities of creativity.
- What does it mean to be creative during crisis or times of hardship?
- When you look back on this time five years from now, how will you know you embodied creativity?
- How can creativity guide your decision-making?
- Who or what does this priority serve and how does it help?
- Imagine yourself in a situation where you are being creative. What does that feel/sound/look like?
