Blue Monday by Annie Lee
Who isn't blue on Monday morning?? I love the play on words and how the colors tie into the title!
I think what I love about the work that I do with College Unbound, makes me bored at the same time because it was lacking the element of creativity to it. I thought the Creative Whack Pack was a great way to help me start thinking of ways to insert some creativity into my project.
The Explorer: I plan to think of ways to use random ideas to stimulate some new ideas for my project - if I think of the word broom, I think of people being swept up under a rug, becoming more transparent, cleaning up employee relations issues, giving the MET a clean sweep on the Employee Relations front. Creating a positive employment brand!
The Artist: I want to find ways to change the name of my project and reverse my viewpoint. I think the Human Resources name may ensue some negative thoughts so I want to find some other ways to spin the name to encourage a more positive reception. If I am able to reverse my viewpoint and look at it from both the leaders of the MET and employees point of views, I think I can find ways to get that positive reception.
The Judge: Trying to focus on where the focus should be is really tough. By really sitting and answering/evaluating that question, I am not sure if I am focusing on the right aspect of human resources at the MET...
The Warrior: I always feel like can do better so I am never satisfied. I always question myself, but I am not sure if that is because I know that there will be opposition or because I feel the work can be better.
Four C-Model of Creativity
I found the Four C-Model of Creativity to be pretty self explanatory. I was able to understand and apply the model to myself and see where I fall in different aspects of my life; and what transition places I am at as well. I never really looked at being creative in stages, I always just figured that if you are creative you are - and that's it. What I also learned and was able to apply to myself was the concept of using extrinsic rewards to cultivate one's creative interest. I was able to take my more recent interest of cake decorating, and saw that when I started to sell custom cakes and cupcakes, I lost the interest. I no longer felt the fire in my belly to do it, I actually started to resent them. So while, I knew how I felt, I didn't realize that it wasn't just me that felt that way. It could happen to anyone.
