Creative Thinking and Creative Problem Solving [Video from Sir Ken Robinson]

As you may know by now, I’m a huge fan of unconventional thinking and finding new ways to spark creative thinking.  Creative problem solving is the “secret ingredient” to running and growing a successful business and realizing your full potential.

Last week, Stuart Davis, Chief Marketing Officer at Quicken Loans, shared this entertaining and insightful video from a prior TED Conference by Sir Ken Robinson on developing creativity, being “wrong,” and the public education system.

Take the time to watch this video.

Total viewing time: 20:03

Some of my favorite ideas from the video and the times that they appear:

3:44 - “but nobody knows what God looks like…”

5:39 – on being prepared to be “wrong”

11:16 – why our system of public education was invented in the 19th century

13:10 – on what intelligence is made of

15:31 – fantastic story about Gillian Lynne
