Many people feel they’re not creative. They’re wrong - they just need to understand how to harness it. Having rapid access to your own creativity can transform your business - so how do we make it happen?

This week on ‘Building your LeaderBrand’ spoke with Julie Stout, an entrepreneur and marketing agency owner who has spent 23 years in business. Julie shared powerful insights into developing creativity as a business skill and how to blend creative approaches with technical execution.

Drawing from her experience in manufacturing and B2B sectors, Julie reveals practical methods for unlocking creative thinking in even the most analytical environments.

Three Key 🔥 Takeaways:

⏰ Start your creativity practice with just 2 minutes daily - Julie recommends setting a timer and practicing non-judgmental brainstorming, particularly right after a shower when your mind is most receptive. This builds your connection to creative flow and strengthens your ability to generate ideas on demand.

⏰ Allow ideas to emerge over time - Like artists developing concepts through multiple sketches, business ideas don't need to arrive fully formed. Julie emphasizes the value of viewing "failures" as building blocks, letting solutions develop organically through iteration rather than demanding instant perfection.

⏰ Set up your mind for solutions - Before bed, clearly state the problem you want to solve. Your subconscious will work on it overnight, often leading to breakthrough ideas in the morning. This intentional approach to problem-solving helps harness your natural creative abilities.

And there is sooo much more.
