Dymphna Boholt on Creativity.

Hey Dymphna Boholt here you given much thought lately to the process of creativity? Have you? What if I told you that you have. Yes really, you have! Let me digress, creativity happens all the time in daily life, from the most mundane of actions and tasks undertaken to the most complex and high level of interactions. For example when you are taking the children to school, and on the way, you hear over the radio that, your normal route is bumper to bumper to an accident that has just transpired.

You then without giving it too much thought, automatically select the next best route, that gets you there, without running into and getting stuck in that accident. Get It Now! You just applied some creativity.

In actual fact it could well be argued that everyone has this god given trait inert in degrees, or rather everyone utilises it from time to time in degrees.

According to wikipedia: Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new. From a scientific point of view, the products of creative thought (sometimes referred to as divergent thought) are usually considered to have both originality and appropriateness.

Dymphna Boholt, has always felt that it is the consistent application of creativity that truly defines the success of an undertaking. Whether that undertaking be in the pursuit of profit or adventure. Dymphna Boholt has personally applied creativity to her entrepreneurial endeavours and the results have been rather predictable. Her property portfolio has increased exponentially.

So you must be sitting there and going, how do I utilise my god given ability to be creative. Well there are very many options, starting right here on the web. One of the early pioneers of the this whole field of applied creativity is an individual by the name of Edward De Bono, he was the high profile godfather in this field of Lateral thinking.

According to the bio, created for him by one of his certified training organisations, Edward de Bono creates thinking techniques that are simple, practical, and powerful. Facilitators, project managers, team leaders, and many others have experienced his thinking skills training courses. So there you go there are places where you can go and learn to unlock the inner creator. Here is a video of Dymphna Boholt's application of creativity
