#61 Oliver Baumann - Unlock Your Mind: How Environments Shape Creativity

We're thrilled to announce we're kicking off an exciting new four-episode series: "Spaces for Creativity"! For this special series, we've collaborated with our partners at Design Offices to bring you insights into how our physical environment shapes our creative minds. For the first episode our special guest Dr. Oliver Baumann is joining us all the way from sunny Queensland, Australia. As a renowned experimental psychologist and brain scientist at Bond University, Dr. Baumann's groundbreaking research explores how our environment – from natural landscapes to architectural designs – profoundly influences our thoughts, memories, and emotions. In this episode, we'll dive deep into his fascinating findings, discussing whether creativity thrives in states of hyperattention or relaxation, and uncovering the surprising ways elements like windows, round shapes, and colors directly impact our brains. Questions which will be answered in this episode:How Buildings & Places affects you? Do you have time island for Creativity?  What is your window view & does it relax you? How can you implement more round elements in your environment? What works for your individual creativity?  Would you like to know what lies behind the ability to be creative and would you like to learn how to train and cultivate your creativity for yourself? Then take a look at our Master Class program and let yourself be inspired by this wonderful skill.
