Creative Intelligence—Unlock more Play, Ideas and Impact every day.

Joseph Avakian

"Creative Dude"

Creativity is unique to humans & intelligence is stewarding it with excellence.

We've all had this: an idea feels great to us, but it doesn't land. Something is missing.

This course is not about finding "wow" ideas. It is about you — the creative person — and the inner qualities you need to grow as a true creative.

All creativity comes from what already exists. We create with what we have, whether that's a little or a lot. The process asks us to stay fresh, playful, and focused.

Grow the creative person, and creativity grows too. Creative Intelligence (CQ) matters as much today as Emotional Intelligence (EQ) or Knowledge Intelligence (IQ) — and with AI here, all three matter more than ever.

In this course we will cover a few topics such as:

  • Creativity is Original to Humans

  • Getting Out of the Box

  • Building Creative Habits

  • Sources of Inspiration and Freshness

  • Love and Freedom as Creative Fuel

  • Sustaining a Creative Lifestyle

If you find yourself stuck or want to sharpen your creative edge, this course will help you rediscover the ingredients of a creative life.

What you’ll learn

Creative Intelligence is not chasing wow ideas — it's growing the soul, mind and heart of a creative.

  • We create daily, it is engrained into our very beings. When we don't know we take a crack at it, right? So how come we got stuck?

  • Learn intentionality in your daily use of creative moments, and expand your boundaries, for life not for your seasons of learning only.

  • Restore the fun, play, joy, and the aha moments in your life. It's what makes us wake up the next morning, ready to tackle life head on.

  • We all live in invisible boxes others can't see. It may have helped once — but it's time to come out.

  • Know what hinders your creativity and what makes it thrive — and find fertile ground for creativity that serves others.

  • Adopt Love and freedom, as the formula by which we continue to mature and grow. We will then be creatives who are out of the box.

  • Discover how to stay inspired and know your seasons of the creative process, and maturity.

  • Learn to harness source of Inspiration, keep up the freshness of ideas and adventure into the next level of you creative potential.

  • Work towards a creative lifestyle, and know that creativity is a muscel we need to build, strengthen and sustain.
