Creativity: Born or Made?
from The Extra Seat Hosted by Stephan Hitchins
In this episode of The Extra Seat, we explore how creativity fuels social innovation, helping communities and organisations tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges. We consider if it is something you are born with or learn along the way. At its core, creativity is the ability to generate new ideas, connect unlikely dots, and imagine possibilities beyond the obvious. It is important because it enables fresh approaches where traditional methods fall short, unlocking solutions that are adaptive, inclusive, and impactful. We’ll look at examples such as community arts programs that reduce social isolation, grassroots innovation labs designing low-cost health solutions, and creative campaigns that mobilise action on climate change. This episode unpacks why creativity is not just a “nice to have,” but a critical driver of social change—and how individuals and teams can cultivate it to make a lasting impact.
