Any form of risk-taking can promote creativity by it’s very nature, because risks tend to stir things up.

They make you look outside your present way of seeing things, beyond your beliefs about yourself, such as “I can’t do that” and “It’s impossible”.

Risks also involve danger. To some people, talking in front of a group can be as terrifying as skydiving or log rolling. Yet each barrier, successfully overcome, brings about the same moment of clarity. Among the thousands of workshop participants we’ve encountered, they all consistently agreed – they saw things differently.

Teams we’ve worked with from all corporate areas, from Conde Nast to Sony, also assert that when they challenged their own limitations, creative choices naturally sprang up. And having a larger problem to solve helped them focus that free-flowing energy.

Finally, accomplishing the supposed “impossible” leads to increased self-esteem and a sense of efficacy. These can only provide a stronger base for further, future creative moments.
