S3 Episode 34 In the Arena: Creativity with Harriet McDougall

Creativity is one of those words that either gets people jumping for joy or running in the opposite direction! In this episode of In the Arena, Kirsty Elderton is with artist, illustrator, service design and trainee psychotherapist Harriet McDougall who talks us through the creative process - what helps, what hinders, how to get over those creative blocks - and we ponder how coaching is at its heart a creative process.  

 

In this weeks WRAP, Harriet gave us some great recommendations: 

 

Watch -I sneakily added seven Netlfix documentaries that fuel creativity 

Read - David Epstein’s book - Range  how generalists succeed in a specialised worlds

Audio/listen to - The Blind Boy Podcast

Ponder - am I bringing a “give it a try mindset”
