Creativity stats

From a previous set of research into the importance of creativity came some of these stats about how more employers than you’d actually expect look for creativity in their workforce. Creative thinking underpins every sector and leads to innovation and collaboration which leads us all to progress. It’s vital to learning and it’s was sad to discover how fast we lose our ability to think creatively as we grow from small children to adults. How fixed and limited our mindsets as grown-ups are is really disheartening, although I am not surprised. One of the things I love best about my work with kids versus adults is how closed down some adults can be to new ways of thinking and emoting, it was tough at times. Working with the kids always left me full of hope for the world and the future and I learnt just as much from them as they did from me.
