Unlocking Creative Confidence

In this episode of The Extra Seat, we explore the idea of creative confidence—the belief that everyone has the capacity to create, imagine, and innovate. Too often, self-doubt and fear of failure hold people back from contributing their best ideas. We’ll unpack how design thinking builds creative confidence through empathy, experimentation, and iteration, and why it matters not just for designers, but for leaders, educators, and anyone tackling complex challenges. From small sparks of creativity to bold leaps of imagination, this conversation reveals how nurturing creative confidence can empower individuals and teams to take risks, embrace uncertainty, and transform the way they solve problems.
