Creative Confidence Brainstorming

Sticky notes, sharpened pencils and caffeine – the necessities for a brainstorm session. But how effective are these gatherings? Many argue they’re a waste of time and provide no assistance to an original solution. I’m sure we’ve all felt this way at one time or another, but think of brainstorming as a rejuvenation of creativity.

Our creative work is poked, prodded and picked at on a consistent basis. It’s the nature of our profession. Our solution… we grow thick skin. However, with these frequent experiences, it’s important to find outlets that energize and inspire creative confidence.

Constructive brainstorming can initiate and restore creativity. As we express our ideas we strengthen our creative voice and abilities. From funny thoughts to unrealistic designs, creative insecurities collapse and our confidence increases.

So participate in the next brainstorm session. Spout out ideas, no matter how ridiculous you feel. You’re reinforcing your creativity. I can’t guarantee you’ll discover the perfect solution while brainstorming, but I do know it can revive your creativity after a long day of criticism and judgment.
