Step 2: Take Actions Independently
Reflect: what is a time that you were creative at work/on-the-job? How did you use
creativity to find new solutions to old problems, or new solutions to new problems?
What is a creative activity you enjoy in your free time? How does doing a creative
activity outside of your professional role and domestic activities/family life propel you
forward in other areas of your life (work and home)?
Step 3: Practice with a Mentor
Practice with the mentor, using a hypothetical situation presented to you from a
workplace where you are expected to think creatively in order to find a solution.
Brainstorm ideas with your mentor to find solutions to the situation presented to you.
Your mentor will guide you and help you to think creatively by asking relevant
questions and making suggestions.
