Would highly recommend taking this - no matter which profession you are in. The course featured world-class thought leaders, and abundant extra resources - all of which together really taught me how using creativity can improve many areas of my work and personal life.

Massively engaging course. Filled with thought-provoking material that really brought out a more creative side I hadn't been aware wasn't functioning as well as it could have been! Supplemented by poignant words from experts, How to be More Creative offers tons of ways to be what it says on the tin.

This course is inspiring and refreshing. Hearing first-hand experiences and advice from top Creatives gave me the confidence to tackle my own creative process without fear and doubt. I learned that many concerns and obstacles I had with creativity are common amongst creatives and more importantly they can be overcome with practice and the right frame of mind.

This is a short, yet comprehensive, examination of how to be more creative. In the context of this course, creativity is a synthesis of what you already know applied in useful and novel ways. Some say that this is the only definition, and for many it will be.
Aaron B.

This course gives great examples of how to flex your creative muscle!
