Acknowledge your accomplishments & improve what doesn’t work
Imagine you plant an apple seed in your garden with the expectation to pick a ripe apple within a year. What if you wrote down your life goals and expected you could achieve them within that same year.

Inspired Photographer Miles Aldridge
Life isn’t a linear journey, and neither is creativity. We’re born into this world and are asked to pick a university, career then places to live. The reality is that our perspectives change as we travel and cross paths with different people to slowly find our purpose, which is shaped by our experiences. We’re all creative and inspired by art, music and film, but how do we focus our minds on finding the creativity fit for purpose?

The value a writer gets from exposure is the greatest value any writer can wish for. A new reader.
It’s always a challenge to adapt how to write for a new publication, but I gain a lot of value when I do. I love to research new topics as it’s a great way to enhance my skills, find a unique angle, and sometimes be inspired by other writers. The 9 publications below focus on different topics so that any writer can see their story in at least one publication.

Formats that inspire writers and readers:
1. Advice weaved into a conversational read
Jessica Wildfire packs a punch with one-liners artistically tucked under headings that make bold statements. It’s how these sentences form a clever and free-forming way to read through her article, which claims the number one spot on this list for creativity.

The evolution of advertising agencies and why they now produce creative content en masse.
The advertising industry has born some of the most brilliant creative minds and technologically savvy individuals worldwide. Within a digital agency, you might have built websites fifteen years ago, created banner ads, email campaigns, and social content for Facebook only. Now advertising agencies need to build large content ecosystems with complex technology stacks and products that serve their corporate clients through unimaginable ways to stay in business.
The rise of the Creator Economy has now intersected with the rapid acceleration of digital transformation projects that businesses have been forced to adapt faster due to the pandemic.

“There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than someone who knows themselves.”
— Julie Piatt
Within the chaos of the world today, people have had to change and transition through this pandemic. Over the past year, my job has changed, I’ve moved across continents from Australia to Europe, and I met someone new whilst in lockdown restrictions. These have been significant and constant changes, all made in a short time, so it was great to unearth a podcast that touches on these huge personal changes I’ve been through.

Most companies are desperately lacking in teaching leadership
Soft skills have become more important as technology, such as AI, advances, and we absolutely need to hero people that know how to inspire others and drive the greatest morale within our teams. But Simon Sinek points out that “soft skills” are not soft at all. In fact, if we were to use two categories for skills people have in the workplace, they would be hard skills and human skills.
Hard skills are needed to do your job, and human skills allow people to be better leaders.
“We have to teach human skills if we want people to learn how…
