Robert Tercek at TEDxTransmedia 2012: 7 Gifts for Creative Activists
- Spirit of joyful adventure – choose the attitude you want in approaching your project, follow the call of your curiosity!
- Intuition – gives our dreams meaning (dreams are just the starting point). Frame your projects as a question.
- Perception – discern patterns (this is not a special power, it’s practiced.) Active all of your senses.
- Metaphor – alchemy of creativity
- Juxtaposition – more than a remix. Compile and align, overlap and repeat. Create a dialogue.
- Expression – Begin at the earliest stage, rapid visualization. Create a shared visual expression to connect with your team.
- Collaboration – activate the best skills in your team, as a creative leader, you are a conductor
