Unlocking New Ideas, Inspiring Customers, and Fueling Innovation

Tucked away in the fresh start of January lies a gem for businesses: International Creativity Month. Celebrated worldwide, this month isn't just about painting rainbows and strumming guitars (though those are welcome too!). It's about inspiring a fresh approach to problem-solving, igniting innovation, and embracing the power of the "what if?" within each of us.

Born from Inspiration:

The brainchild of Randall Munson, author and speaker, International Creativity Month emerged in the early 2000s.Recognizing the potential of a new year to spark new ideas, Munson aimed to create a global platform that would encourage individuals and businesses to tap into their creative reserves. And it worked. Today, this month-long celebration is embraced by individuals, artists, entrepreneurs, and organisations across the globe.

Celebrating a Symphony of Creativity:

So, how do people celebrate this joyous month? The canvas is as diverse as the human imagination itself! Art challenges,collaborative workshops, writing sprints, hackathons, themed exhibitions – the possibilities are endless. Individuals might try an unfamiliar art form, tackle a creative project they've put off, or simply take time to observe the world with fresh eyes. The key is to break free from routine and explore uncharted creative territories.

Become the leader you admire most

Greatness lives inside you.
