443 — So, you've decided to be creative...

Whether it comes to facilitating workshops, designing learning experiences, or developing campaign assets, L&D practitioners are increasingly expected to bring creativity to their roles. But how do you do this if you don't have a creative background, or if you don't think of yourself as a 'creative person'? In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross D and Gemma are joined by Kenny Temowo, Senior Director of Talent Acceleration at SharkNinja and host of the Inside the Art of Making podcast, to discuss: Kenny's career journey through the creative industries, into workplace learning, and back again; what it means to be 'creative', and how this applies in L&D; how to meet consumer-level creative expectations with L&D budgets; how to earn the permission to be creative at work.  You can listen to Kenny's podcast, Inside the Art of Making, on Spotify. (Or wherever you get your podcasts.) In 'What I Learned This Week', Gemma mentioned The Cloudspotter's Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney. Ross D gave a lukewarm review of the movie Field of Dreams.
