Most people think there are those who are "just born" creative, and those who just aren't. Seth Godin would disagree. He believes that creativity, like riding a bike, is a skill everyone can learn and develop over time. It's an important skill, too, and if we don't develop practices that keep us creative, we could get left behind. In today's episode, Seth gives us insight into how we can become more creative with our work. Whether you're a graphic designer, and architect, a CEO or a receptionist, these practices will help you grow and become a more valuable professional.
