“Creative people are unconventional”, said the podcast host who interviewed me recently.
I told her I disagreed.
Creativity is not about being unconventional.
Creativity is about doing what is authentically you – and since you are unique, that might come across as (!) unconventional.
But we should not aim for being unconventional or different.
We should aim to be authentically and uniquely ourselves.
(Picture from my geometric dome office on my island, which might be an unconventional office, but that is not why I built it; I built it because it is authentically and uniquely, 100% me.)
