Play-Lead-Create

What is...and why play? The act of play is importa

What is...and why play?
The act of play is important as it contributes to our well-being and it promotes the flow of creative ideas and inspiration.

Remember when you were younger, you did things that left you laughing, feeling invigorated, relaxed, present, while time seemed to stand still. If you do, it's probably linked to a memory of play - doing something with no objective, just being and enjoying.

What does it look like?
For me this photograph taken of two young children having fun on the beach describes play. It was taken on Sunset beach on the west coast of Cape Town.

More about the "Play" I offer in my @_createfulness_ program can be viewed in the 🔗

When is the right age to develop personal leadersh

When is the right age to develop personal leadership skills?
I'm not 100% sure of the answer, however I do believe that the younger the better. Jayne Acker, a qualified coach and an ex teacher, along with her husband Chris, have created an online multi media platform - leadership skills program, for schools and teenagers from 13 upwards.
Have a listen to our chat together on the #_createfulness_ podcast titled, "It's never too young to explore personal leadership," where we chat about leadership development for young people as well as Jayne's views on @_createfulness_

How to create hope.
Set a goal, create a plan and work towards it.
Without the goal and a plan it's just wishful thinking.

This picture was taken just outside the weekly market in Riberac in France. This guy was on a mission to get to the market to buy his wares before it closed for the day.

We are continuously surrounded by external noise

We are continuously surrounded by external noise and chaos. For our wellbeing we should find those places that encourages inner peace, a time to disconnect from the outside. It could be, time in nature, listening to music, doing something creative, meditation, or playing - anything that enables us to reconnect with ourselves.

This picture was taken moments before another mid-winter storm hit land, bringing with it a deluge of noise and chaos.

It's Ok to give ourselves permission.
At times we are afraid to try something as we feel we're not going to be good or perfect at it. However that is just an internal dialogue that is stopping us from experiencing something different.
All we have to do is give ourselves permission knowing that it'll be adding to our arsenal of experiences and contributing to our expanded selves.

If you didn't have to do something perfectly, what would you try?

This portrait was taken in Paris. This artist, relaxing on the banks of the Seine, enjoying the sun, and painting. No matter his level of artistry, it all began with him giving himself permission to trying something of interest.

About this photo:

"Working Men"
This picture was taken at the entrance to one of the working silos.
Prior to the @zeitzmocaa l being an art museum, it was a working grain silo. In 2001 I asked if I could take a few pictures of the working silos and the people that worked there. As far as I understand, the 14 images that I took that day are the only images of the silos while it was still operational.
