Creatively Annoying

CBQ - Courtney, does your creativity drive you crazy? Episode Summary In this episode, we explore the double-edged sword of creativity in the workplace. Courtney and Juan unpack how creativity can fuel innovation — but also drive us (and our teams) a little crazy. From perfectionism and procrastination to embracing imperfection and experimentation, we talk about finding that sweet spot where creative energy is productive, not paralyzing. Highlights [00:01:00] "We encourage creativity — but in the workplace, sometimes it's annoying… and sometimes we annoy ourselves." [00:06:30] "You can be creative in ways you don't even realize — like building experiences, designing flows, or crafting how others interact with your work." [00:12:10] "When you've built a process or flow and someone comes in to change it, it can feel like they're calling your baby ugly." [00:18:45] "You don't have a paint-by-numbers path when you're creating something new — and that's part of the challenge." [00:22:15] "If you're not driving yourself a little crazy with your creativity, you're probably not being that creative."     Follow Juan on LinkedIn Follow Courtney on LinkedIn Check out CareerBlindspot.com Follow on LinkedIn and Instagram → Your listening perspective matters - 5 min survey.
