THE CREATIVE THINKING PROJECT

In a world of isolation, the goal is to elevate people through a shared creative experience.

WHY CREATIVE THINKING

There is hardly a profession where creative thinking is not a competitive edge. And is even more true in a future of AI and outsourcing, where creative thinking will mean job security.

In Daniel Pinks Book, A Whole New Mind, he writes, "Lawyers. Doctors. Accountants. Engineers. That's what our parents encouraged us to become. They were wrong. Gone is the age of "left-brain" dominance. The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers — creative and emphatic "right-brain" thinkers whose abilities mark the fault-line between who gets ahead and who doesn't."  

WHAT IS THE CREATIVE THINKING PROJECT

A series of fun, creative challenges designed to increase your creativity and build more productive habits.

Each challenge pushes you to rethink the way you see yourself and the world around you to uncover new possibilities and ideas.

Throughout these exercises, we reveal misconceptions about creativity, annoying aspects of the mind that lead us to repress creative thinking, and the research behind these methods.

If you want to share your results with fellow creative thinkers, There are fun hashtags at the end of each exercise. No pressure, though, think of each exercise as a gift to yourself.

THERE ARE 22 CREATIVE CHALLENGES (with more coming)

HOW IT WORKS

These creative challenges are taken from proven brainstorming, ideation, and innovation exercises across art, design, business, and science.

Through a series of entertaining, creative challenges, you develop both an understanding of creativity and increase your own ability.

The principal learning mechanism is a series of "Think differents", where you are challenged to identify and change your own cultural, habitual, and normal patterns of thinking.

These employ variations of proven tools, frameworks, and concepts to move you outside of your existing comfort zone and reawaken your innate creativity. The exercises involve observation, imagination, abstracting, pattern recognition, and analogies.

Here is a "Creative Challenge" example...

WHO WE ARE

Pilgrim Soul’s Creative Thinking Project is a collaboration of creative professionals from diverse backgrounds contributing to the greater creative good.

Our mission is to elevate creative thinking to give people a competitive edge in life and work.

Creativity is not just for artists. It's for business people looking for a new way to close a sale; it's for engineers trying to solve a problem; it's for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.

Creative thinking is about reinventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
