It was many years before I realised that most folks suffer from insecurity, and that this is acquired in childhood. Its effect varies from a thin sliver to a huge plank in someone's life and affects pretty well everything they do. In business as an employer and as a trustee of a homeless social enterprise, I have witnessed the impact at first hand. People who are clearly more clever than I could ever hope to be, but are rendered less effective because this issue causes them to replace logicality with subjectivity. I have watched it impact business performance and personal relationships as insecure people find it difficult to trust. I know of no answer to the problem of insecurity, even after having talked it over with both clinical and occupational psycholodists. Having read your post, I wondered if you think that using creativity in the way you suggest could help. I note that the RSA now has "The Power to Create", almost as a strapline, so you are aligned with that direction of travel. Do you agree with my point, and if so, what role could creativity have in helping to eradicate this destroyer of values.DonPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109619217671017154noreply@blogger.com
