This is a video of my inaugural Professorial Lecture where I share my thoughts on why creativity is important for our own happiness, for the happiness of others and for our learning and growth. I also highlight different ways creativity can manifest, and present some of the key factors that affect our creativity, including our ‘state of being’, and the role of purpose. Finally, I reflect on the implications for how we educate our students, and how we run our organisations.
Note that I refer to video clip in my talk of a famous try in rugby which could not be recorded for copyright reasons, so follow this link to see it.
