In this coming year, and decade, we are all going to need to embrace and accept our creativity more than ever.
In life and business, reconnecting to our power to create from within, to bring to life our unique expression, will prove to be not only valuable but essential.
Humans are extraordinarily creative but we have also lost connection to our creative powers at a collective level. An array of social beliefs has swept over us declaring that only the special are creative and that productivity not creativity is what matters.
Yet everyone is creative and creativity is how we grow individually and collectively. In the face of the challenges facing our world, reconnecting to our unique individual creativity could not be more important.

Humans are transported to another world deep within them through the power of story. Every good story is a tale of transformation.
It speaks of the depths where we find the resourcefulness to triumph over the trials that face us.
Fables, myths and stories are part of our understanding of life and how we interpret our place in this world. They have inspired and challenged the human race for millennia.

No one begins a business to be its beck and call day in, day out.
No one sets out to create a business that demands their constant attention and presence to stay alive.
