One of a handful of the world's professional aphorists, James Geary has successfully fused early creative endeavors in performance art, poetry and juggling with his childhood fascination with the "Quotable Quotes" column in Reader's Digest. His books Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists and the bestselling The World in a Phrase are invaluable journeys through the often-ignored art of the witty (and memorably brief) summation. His next book is about the secret life of metaphors, and how metaphorical thinking drives invention and creativity. Geary is a former writer for Time Europe and is now an editor for Ode magazine, a print and online publication devoted to optimism and positive news.]]>Charles Leadbetter, Author - We -Think, The Power of Mass Creativity on Shaping Ideashttp://www.thecreativeleadershipforum.com/interview-library/2010/6/10/charles-leadbetter-author-we-think-the-power-of-mass-creativ.htmlRalph Kerle2010-06-10T12:06:32ZBusiness Creativity OD creativity organizational behaviour]]>David Kester, CEO, Design Council UK, on how to foster a culture of innovationhttp://www.thecreativeleadershipforum.com/interview-library/2010/6/6/david-kester-ceo-design-council-uk-on-how-to-foster-a-cultur.htmlRalph Kerle2010-06-06T07:04:36ZCulture Design Innovation Innovation

Dr. Stuart Brown, Founder of the National Institute of Play, came to research play through research on murderers -- unlikely as that seems -- after he found a stunning common thread in killers' stories: lack of play in childhood. Since then, he's interviewed thousands of people to catalog their relationships with play, noting a strong correlation between success and playful activity.

With the support of the National Geographic Society and Jane Goodall, he has observed animal play in the wild, where he first concieved of play as an evolved behavior important for the well being -- and survival -- of animals, especially those of higher intelligence. Now, through his organization, the National Institute for Play, he hopes to expand the study of human play into a vital science -- and help people everywhere enjoy and participate in play throughout life.

Why don't we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance. Robinson's TEDTalk has been distributed widely around the Web since its release in June 2006. His latest book, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, a deep look at human creativity and education, was published in January 2009 to lukewarm reviews. This video sees a return to form to a topic he is clearly passionate about : education. .]]>The History of TED and How It Operated for 22 Years as a Closed Systemhttp://www.thecreativeleadershipforum.com/interview-library/2010/5/17/the-history-of-ted-and-how-it-operated-for-22-years-as-a-clo.htmlRalph Kerle2010-05-17T12:51:00ZIT Innovation TED conferences presentation socialmedia systems thinking

Elizabeth Gilbert in a wonderful presentation talks about the importance of nurturing creativity in all its forms and how we have viewed creativity and those who we perceive are the creators!! We do accept creativity is not magical but it does require us to understand to be creative we need to dive deeply with ourselves and when we do that we experience discomfort, even madness, at times. Nevertheless, it is vital we are allowed to experience this sense of self and all of us accept this is a vital life force.
