As a designer, you need ways to work better so that you can create more, but what do you do when you hit a seemingly insurmountable mental wall? You need to bust through your mental barriers to unblock your creativity and allow it to flow.
Combining the neuroscience of creativity with methods to increase productivity, we’ll discover techniques and tools to get past the mental barriers that keep you stuck and slow you down – which is also known as the Inner Critic. We’ll explore ways in
which to dramatically enhance your creative self-esteem: to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.”
We’ll then uncover how to prevent criticism and judgement from immobilizing you and shutting down your creative process, how to leverage the collective genius of a group to amplify creativity, and
tricks for generating more ideas than you ever thought possible.
These approaches will not only help to enhance your productive creativity, but they will also help you to operate from a place of passion and excitement. By the end, you’ll have a roadmap of how to not only get unstuck, but also how to channel your
creativity as a force for positive change in the world.
