Start with Self-Recognition?
To be able to recognise one another in a society or an organisational system which are designed otherwise – or doesn't simply have such practice–, there is a first step that calls to be taken: self-recognition. Sounding weird as an idea?
Recalling the pages of the book Creative Confidence, there's a path of empowerment, experimentation, overcoming fears and defying societal norms and forms of education, in order to positively impact the ways we value our own creativity and thereafter the way we recognise each other' creative self.?
The mission to transform the perception we, as a society, have regarding creativity is a huge one. Therefore it requires a collective move which usually starts with multiple small steps.
What we offer through Creative You ? is the possibility for you to start your own individual path towards that transformation and inspire everyone around you!?
What about starting it today at your organisation?

Pitch Yourself to a Mirror
~ show off!?
Before putting yourself in the spotlight, we encourage you to?practice a little?in the comfort of your home. Give yourself a great cheer up and get the dust out of that?mirror. Choose a piece of a novel that you like, a poem that inspires you, your favourite lyrics or simply improvise.
Afterwards, experiment with presenting yourself to an imagined?audience and pretend you're introducing a well-known artist at the event of its new Art Gallery.?
But most of all,?have fun!
