Think of it like this, Belonging and Rejection are the positive and negative poles of a magnet. Ultimately though, a magnet always attracts - it's just a matter of positioning.
An Introverts Power over Rejection
Sales and Marketing kills Creativity
Process and Structure all too often stifle innovation. There is never enough focus on product/content. The sales and marketing processes take over and drive the direction of organisations, paying lip service to the quality or otherwise of the products/content being proffered.
Learning Culture
True learning and true education forces us to take long-term approaches. To realise and accept that learning is long haul. Results do not come over night, but when they do, the long-term results are so much greater than simply the sum of their parts (which is the classic short-term strategy).
Awe -Takes and Creates – some Time
We lose track of time. Why? Because we were in awe. The wonder of the moments seemed to suspend time for us and we truly lose track of time and reality. Creativity has this type of impact upon us. Great creative experiences hold us in rapture, whether we are the creator or the receiver, both positions defer our liability to pay now. We can buy now. Creativity gives us credit. Not in monetary terms but in time.
Try and Change Culture without Emotion
Any change cannot occur without recognition of the need to change (too many Dr. Phil episodes have told us this). True change and true cultural change cannot occur unless it affects us or the group at an emotional level. Change is about learning and learning occurs best when it is attached to an emotion.
Comedy = Truth = Magic
There is no true story that doesn't make you laugh and cry. No matter how awful and tragic a story there is always an element of comedy. It releases tension - we need that release - even Shakespeare does this in the beginning of Macbeth before the murder of King Duncan where there is some serious comedy schtick going on (pardon the pun...).
Introverts – We walk amongst you
It is the shy kids who are easy to forget. They can be ushered into the corner by the teacher/director or the other actors/students and overlooked because they generally won't complain. They will accept the status quo because they won't want to rock the boat. Their creative skills enable them to show acceptance and contrition when faced with missing out on opportunities.
A Science implemented by Artists
In industries or vocations where creativity or free thinking seems like a fading star in a galaxy far, far away, we can find artists implementing science to demonstrate the commonalities between groups.
The Performance of Design
The actor is a canvas that designers colour, light and enclose in a performance all of their own. The performance of design.
