This mastery session is all about how I stay creative. The first insight I want to offer to you with great respect is, whether you're a bookkeeper or a banker, whether you're a taxi driver or a hamburger flipper, whether you're a student or filmmaker, you are a creative. When we think of the word creative, we think of people who are in ad agencies or often we think of artists. But whatever you do everyday is your craft, whatever you do everyday, you have the opportunity and I suggest you have the responsibility to produce your art. What you release out into the world will determine what the world sends back to you. You are a creative. 

My life changed when I was a litigation lawyer and I was working on this project for this law society that I was working for in my free time. I was putting together this project and we're going to be bringing together all these different lawyers for the others lawyers in the city. My co-partner on this project said, "You know, Robin, you're extremely creative." That sort of woke something up inside of me and it turned me on to the fact that I have creativity inside of me and it was just this light bulb or "A-ha!" moment. I suggest the same to you, which is regardless of what you do or where you live in the world, you have creativity inside of you. 

One of my favorite questions is what would the little child that you once were think of the adult that you've become? When you were a little kid, your eyes sparkled. When you were a little kid, you loved producing art into the world. What has happened to that, if anything? I want you to start thinking like Da Vinci. I want you to wake up your inner Picasso. I want you to find that Van Gogh inside of you. Regardless of what you do, I want you to connect to your creative wellspring that longs to show up fully in the world.

With that insight, that you are a creative person and you have art within, I'm going to share with you six tactics that will allow you to do what I suggest:

Number one. We live in a world of dramatic distraction. Most people are suffering from broken focus syndrome. It has never been so easy to be seduced by the shiny toys of modern society and spend the best hours of your best days doing not much of anything. The first tactic that I offer to you is build your life and your work flow around what I call tight bubbles of total focus. That might mean blocking out three times a week, from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock on your written schedule because what gets scheduled gets done, and during that 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock tight bubble of total focus, you turn off all your technology. When you hear those bells ring and the notifications fly, it has actually been compared neurobiologically to the sound of a scream. I want to make that with great precision, that point, which is the sound of a phone ringing, has been compared in terms of your internal response neurobiologically to the sound of a scream. But if it happens constantly everyday, it becomes your new normal. Pretty interesting point, no?

How I Stay Creative

A lot of people are very careless with their language. I mean, the words you use can lift up your energy, make you more creative. The words you use either allow you to do world-class things or the words you use deny your talents.

Why Your Words Matter

What I want to do in this Mastery Session is really walk you through the tools I've used in my own life to get through very difficult times. 

Powerful Tools to Overcome Pain

Our world says that if you are a leader in many ways it's about what you get. What I'm going to suggest to you with deep respect being a leader is about what you give. It's a paradox because as you give more you actually receive more.

The Journalling Deconstruction

Transcending what terrifies you and finding freedom from fear is one of the primary pursuits of people rising to world-class, both in their work and within their lives.

The project you are most scared to do is the one that holds your greatest growth. So why flee from it?

In this hot new Mastery Session, I walk you through some of my best thinking on how to become braver, stronger and more creative in the face of resistance.

I truly hope this episode will fuel your inspiration as well as kickstart your noblest self.

Kindest wishes,
Robin
