Why should we train our creativity?
In order to expand our repertoire. In order to enable us to handle the increasing complexity. In order to get better at seeing new possibilities. In order to get more out of life. In order to create a life for ourselves that is more giving.
There are countless benefits
A life full of curiosity, motivation, and laughter is a life filled with possibilities, good relationships, and ideas for better solutions of large and small problems alike.
A work life filled with positivity, confidence, and openness is a work life with personal development, utilization of every competence, and creative, versatile, and enriching collaboration.
In many ways, creativity training is similar to training the muscles in your body. You have to start small, test the waters, wait for the habit to be built to the point, where you can’t do without it. And it might take several tries before you succeed.
You can choose from many different training methods. There are many creative muscles to train. So choose the muscles and the methods you think give you the most and which are the most fun.
We wish you all the best!

Authors: Lene Bornemann and Ulla Tønner
We – Lene Bornemann and Ulla Tønner – have spent many years working with creativity development for people and organisations. We have worked with artistic processes in the business world, creative writing, design development, strategy and idea development, project development, and concept development. Through all these diverse activities, we have gleaned practical knowledge of the things that help and the things that hinder personal and group creativity.
It has become increasingly obvious that if you want to learn to think in terms of new creative solutions, it requires a new way of thinking. And this new thinking requires training. We want to make all people better at working with their creativity. You too! Therefore, in order to get better at using your creativity, you need to start training it regularly over a longer period.
You need to read this book if you want to develop your creativity. Regardless if you feel like a very creative person or like a less creative person, you can develop your creativity. This book is for everyone, and everyone can benefit from doing the exercises in the book.
