It is important to see that YOU are already your own coach and you can enhance your own personal creativity each day.

The positive experience of the educator can be modeled by YOU as you provide for your students  a mentor and coach to inspire creativity in gifted children’s lives.

Creativity is a decision, a commitment and it requires continued attention, study and practice. But, I guarantee that the results will be invaluable in your own life and in the lives of your students.

After all the study and practice, our goal is balance.

Robert Sternberg has a great statement to that effect:

• Successful individuals are those who have creative skills, to produce a vision for how they intend to make the world a better place for everyone; analytical intellectual skills, to assess their vision and those of others; practical intellectual skills, to carry out their vision and persuade people of its value; and wisdom, to ensure that their vision is not a selfish one.  

In the midst of personal, economic and global turmoil, we are all feeling more limitation and constraints, more challenges, stresses and pressures.

But, we do not have to contract our energies and give up, we can make the DECISION to forge our way into a life of greater creativity and create a culture of mastery, creativity and adventure in our world of influence.

We all have the spark inside that guides us to greater things.

And, together, I am confident, we will rise to the challenge of greater creativity.
