Back to the CORE
“Judgment can help keep
imagination on the track,
and imagination can help enlighten judgment”
(Osborn, 1963, p.39)
FINDING THE BALANCE
Internal motivations
External drivers
The central point was that …
… the creative person also is a
self-actualised personself-actualised person – a fully functioning, mentally healthy,
forward-growing human being who is also using his talents to become what he
is capable of becoming.(Maslow, 1968, 1970; Rogers, 1962)
My Family-
The promise of Hope
My 3 states of ‘Mindfulness’ • Consciousness
Self-actualization: To enjoy the process of deliberating, working through challenges, and building small steps of successes by bringing ideas into fruition.
• Connections Synthesis and meaning making: Collaborations
and co-creations, strengthening relationships and driving new directions of work both within MOE as well as in personal areas by helping others to see ‘new meaning’ of common interest.
• Communication– Simonton’s 5th P: To catalyse “ideas that are so
good that they change the ways others think” (Runco, 2007) through networking, curriculum partnerships and blogging.
The Leap beyond … at 4am
‘Insights or “ahas” may occur, at the most unlikely times and places’

In conclusion …“John accomplishes more in one day than many people
do in a week. So how does he do it? One thing that stands out is his acute self-awareness and keen insight about people and the world around him. He knows what is important to him, and why. He has figured our how to live his beliefs and values. He sees other people and situations very clearly. He notices what is happening inside him and around him. John is awake, aware, and actively attentive to himself, people, and situations. And he uses what he sees.”
Boyatzis, R. & McKee, A., 2005, p112, Resonant leadership: Boston, MA: Harvard Business Press.
And the good news is
that…
have you as my partner!
