Creativity isn't a talent some people have and others don't, it's a skill. In day three of this special five-part series, Helen and Aneesh Rahman explore the third C, creativity, and why it's becoming one of the highest-value human skills in an age when AI can generate generic content at scale.
From Pixar's science of storytelling to the neuroscience of flow, this is a conversation that will change how you think about your own creativity, and how to bring more of it to your team.

β A simple question to ask in your team: when are you at your creative best and what contributes to it?
β One practical thing anyone can do right now to build their creative muscle, even if they don't feel creative at all
