INCEPT

Know Your Creative Genius

There’s a creative genius in everyone – use the INCEPT metric to access this inner genius and sharpen your unique creative talents.

I

... is for Ideation

Ideation is the generation of new ideas, the spark of the creative process. It’s the art of pulling new inventions out of the swirling clouds of a brainstorm – an art which all the most brilliant innovators have mastered!

“The idea came like a flash of lightning, and in an instant, the truth was revealed.” – Nikola Tesla

N

... is for Navigating Ambiguity

Navigating the branching path from imagination to actualization is an essential skill for any artist or visionary. Choosing the right way forward is never black and white, but exploring the other colorful possibilities is part of the fun of creating.  

“The creative person is willing to live with ambiguity. They don’t need problems solved immediately and can afford to wait for the right ideas.” - Dr. Abraham Tannenbaum

C

... is for Collaboration

Insights from other artists, innovators, and thinkers can elevate our own ideas to the next level. Only through collaboration can we exceed our own expectations and raise our creative efforts to their fullest potential.

“Alone we can do so little. Together, we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

E

... is for Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is the engine of the creative mind – passion is what drives us to create! Our excitement and curiosity provide the energy it takes to launch forward toward our goals and turn dreams into reality.

“Creativity is the natural extension of our enthusiasm.” – Earl Nightingale

P

... is for Persistence

A willingness to face failures, learn from them, and try again is the key to overcoming any obstacle. Where most see a dead end, the persistent few will discover opportunities for innovation.

“Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.” – Lady Gaga

T

... is for Thinking outside the box

All of history’s most revolutionary ideas have had at least one thing in common: none of them played by the rules! When we diverge from the expected and relentlessly explore possibility, the potential for discovery is limitless.

“Creativity involves breaking out of expected patterns in order to look at things in a different way.” – Edward De Bono
