Ever feel like your team is stuck in a loop, talking about the same old ideas and running into the same roadblocks? What if you could ignite a creative revolution in your business, unlocking potential you didn't even know you had?

Get ready to have your entire perspective on creativity transformed. In this game-changing episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Amy Climer, an expert in team innovation who works with elite organizations like Mayo Clinic and Stanford University, and the author of the new book, "Deliberate Creative Teams."

We demolish the myth that creativity is a rare gift for "artistic types" and reveal the truth: creativity is a fundamental business skill that can be learned, practiced, and measured. Dr. Climer breaks down her powerful, research-backed framework for innovation, showing you exactly how to guide your team from a spark of an idea to a fully implemented, game-changing solution.

In this episode, you will discover:

  • The surprising definition of creativity that will make you realize you are far more creative than you think.
  • The four essential stages of creative problem-solving: Clarify, Ideate, Develop, and Implement.
  • Why your team's natural tension between "talkers" (Clarifiers) and "doers" (Implementers) is actually a secret weapon, if you know how to use it.
  • The critical difference between divergent thinking (generating ideas) and convergent thinking (evaluating them), and why your brain physically can't do both at the same time.
  • Four simple rules for brainstorming that will banish judgment and lead to a flood of wild, innovative ideas.
  • A powerful, real-world example of how a manufacturing company used these exact principles to reclaim significant production time and boost their bottom line.

If you're ready to move beyond frustrating meetings and unleash your team's true innovative power, you cannot afford to miss this conversation.
