Creativity for survival. (Episode 259)
I recently had the privilege of speaking on the topic of creativity to a group of Ukrainian engineering students and faculty at the National University (Kyiv Aviation Institute).
Using creativity for survival is an extreme use of creativity, and one we all hope to never experience. This war is just so sad on so many levels.
Ukraine has a smaller economy, resources, population, and army than Russia, and yet they are fighting back. Talk about punching above their weight.
Their creativity, for sure, is one of the weapons they use to be able to do that.
What crisis, big or small, are you using to trigger your creativity or to push you to do things differently?
ps: I had asked for their questions in advance and built my speech based on their questions to be sure to customize it to their needs as much as possible.
