1 Assess Fit

Begin by evaluating your current position. How much does it really allow for creativity? Sometimes, the problem isn't the job itself but the way you're approaching it. Look for hidden opportunities to infuse creativity into your tasks. Speak with your manager about your desire to leverage your creative skills. Performance management is all about aligning individual talents with organizational goals, so this conversation could lead to new projects that better suit your abilities.

2 Explore Options

If your current role offers no room for creativity, consider exploring other positions within your organization. Internal transfers can be a great way to shift into a role that better aligns with your skills without having to start over elsewhere. Research different departments or teams that might benefit from your creative strengths. Networking with colleagues in these areas can provide insights into potential opportunities and help you pivot smoothly.

3 Upskill Regularly

Invest in yourself by continuously developing your creative skills. Attend workshops, take online courses, or even pursue a formal certification if it aligns with your interests. By upskilling, you not only enhance your creative abilities but also increase your value to your employer. This can open doors to roles that require a higher level of creative expertise and show your commitment to personal and professional growth.

4 Personal Branding

Craft a personal brand that showcases your creativity. This might involve updating your resume, portfolio, and social media profiles to highlight projects that demonstrate your creative prowess. A strong personal brand can attract opportunities that align with your skillset, as employers often look for candidates who stand out in their field. Plus, it helps you to be perceived as an expert in creative problem-solving.

5 Seek Mentorship

Find a mentor who has successfully integrated creativity into their career. This person can provide guidance, support, and possibly even advocate for you within your industry. A mentor can also help you navigate career transitions and introduce you to new networks. Remember, performance management is not just about evaluating performance; it's also about development and growth, and a mentor can be instrumental in this process.

6 Create Opportunities

Lastly, don't be afraid to create opportunities for yourself. If you can't find the perfect role, consider proposing a new position or project that allows you to use your creative skills. This shows initiative and can be very appealing to management. It's also a chance to design a role that perfectly fits your strengths and interests, which can lead to greater job satisfaction and career fulfillment.

Become a polymath! In the times of promoting specialisation, what about you becoming the jack of all, and master of few! The renaissance person focuses on developing skills in not just one direction but exploring own creativity in all arenas possible- if you have adequate aptitude, interest and discipline, why not fulfil that hidden talent you always kept quite! The polymaths become world leaders as they can come with creative thoughts and ideas thanks to their multi-perspective approach. All things done and varied experiences would help in creating something unique and extra-ordinary! Finally, to notice, a polymaths is someone recognized by others to have multiple talents and skills. Dont die with a talent inside, explore!
