Summer Exhibitions 2019

Since enrolling on the #strodefad course I have been trying to record all the exhibitions I have been to and have been surprised by how many I have managed to get to! New to Tumblr so still figuring out how to upload and organise this blog so bear with me and I will try to share my 2019 adventures in art with you.

The kids got to tour the beautiful campus of where I’ve been teaching and oozing this last semester. 😍 What a perfect time of year to visit and tour the grounds @catalinaschool . #gratefulforeverything 🎄❤️🎄 #holidayspirit #feelingchristmassy #hollyjolly #holidayseason2021 #happinesswins #attitudeofgratitude #lovewhatyoudo #workisfun #funisproductive #artteachersofinstagram #creativemotivator #creativeleader #colorlovers #coloreverywhere #creativeholidays #contagiouscreativity #creativefamily #oozeinspo https://www.instagram.com/p/CXCT1j1PBCk/?utm_medium=tumblr

✨The Bravado of the creative minds. It’s funny to me now when I think back to the times when I used to share my ideas with some group of people and they always told me it will never work or it didn’t make sense and those same ideas have become the regular in our lives now. I have always been a deep thinker and a radical dreamer. Some ideas will just not make sense to many people around you. Don’t let that discourage you. Thank God for all the radical thinkers and dreamers who stood firmly behind their ideas. People like Steve Jobs, Sir Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey, Mo Abudu, Madam C J Walker, Nelson Mandela would not be spoken of today if not because of their bravado in sticking to what they believed in and doing what ever it took to make it happen. So, to all of you radical thinkers and dreamers who have something burning hot in their hearts and minds, I say GO FOR IT. It takes brave people to birth new ideas, witty inventions and create the next big thing that the world will come to love and appreciate. LET THE CREATIVE LEADER IN YOU EMERGE.

It was a great moment in Portharcourt speaking to hundreds of leaders and Pastors at the Impact Leaders & Pastors Conference hosted by our beloved Rev. @georgeizunwa and First Lady @manuelaizunwa. I spoke on the 3 Dimensions Of Creative Leadership Creative Leaders have the ability to envision, engage, and enlist a group of people to work together creatively and innovatively toward accomplishing a specific goal by creating a creative and innovative environment.

How creative am I?

As leaders, as managers, as parents, as contributors to society, we know that creative thinking is an increasingly important skill in this VUCA world. So you may be asking yourself, how creative am I, really? Will I cut it? Do I need to sharpen up?

Firstly let me be clear: by creativity, I don't mean being able to draw. If you've ever said: "I can't draw a stick man" or "I don't have a creative bone in my body" then you've been referring to artistry. Visual, literary and performing arts all take a level of creativity but they don't define it. Creativity is more than artistry. It is the application of imagination to solve a problem or create something useful. So you can struggle drawing stick men, but be a brilliant problem solver and a true creative thinker.

So, how creative are you? If you are a human being, you are creative. That's a given. It's how our brains are wired. But as for how creative are you at this point in time… this depends on what you've been doing with the superstructure in your skull for the years you've been alive. If you're like most adult humans, you have stacked and boxed most of your creative desires, curiosities and passions in a neat mental filing cabinet, labelled Ancient History or For Children Only and let them grow dusty and rusty. You've been trained through your primary education to write in monochromatic (monotonous to your brain) blue or black pen, on straight horizontal lines (akin to prison bars for your mind, according to Tony Buzan.) No doubt, you have continued this straight-jacketed habit, as have I, for most of your adult life.

If at this point, you're thinking, "Are there other ways to write things down that don't involve straight lines and black pen?" then your creativity may be somewhat asleep. If you are wracking your brain trying to recall those imaginary lives you dreamed of when you were young and struggling to locate your true passions now, then I'm afraid your creativity may be in a deep sleep or even a in a coma.

The question you should be asking yourself is not, "How creative am I?", but "How creative am I, now?" I believe that the answer to the first question is the same for all of us: infinitely! I don't think that there is an end to how creative any of us can become. The good news is that developing our creativity is both a process of peeling off what's stopping our creativity, as well as building in skills, habits, practices and influences to grow our creativity. "How creative am I now?" helps us understand our starting point and hopefully give us the impetus to get going on our creative journey.

Here are a few more questions to help you gauge how creative you are now. Do you lean in to discomfort, or tend to take the easy option? Do you flick to your phone calculator rather than add up the bill in your head? Do you ever change up your surroundings or do you like to keep things the same? Do you learn about varied and different things or just stick to the basics you need in your industry or role? Do you record your dreams or not recall them at all? Do you immediately google anything you want to know, or try to recall it or ask a friend? Do you challenge yourself Do you ever experiment with cooking or stick to what you know? Do you take different routes back from work or stay with familiar routes? There are many more, but these should hint at how creative you really are being in this season of your life. You may even be a talented artist, but have become stunted or stale in your creativity. Creative minds are dynamic and energised, and need to be continually stretched and challenge not to stagnate.

📸You ready to have some fun with me? 😍There's nothing more radiant, inspiring and magnetic (think dream clients, authentic connections and incredible biz opportunities) than seeing a woman light up from the inside out✨. ❤️Life is too short to waste it in hiding and not having fun, don't you think? And when we authentically connect to another human in this way, our hearts opens and this puts us on a path to REAL growth and transformation. OK, what am I going on about?? Sometimes I don't even know!! 🤣😅😳 But I do know this - You want to succeed in life, like really succeed? Then you've got to put FUN back on your agenda. You've got to embrace ALL of YOU, follow the FEEL GOOD and keep doing the things that LIGHT you up. If you're a spirit junkie like @gabbybernstein then you know already, that following what feels good is the most spiritual thing you can do on this planet.🙏 💃You ready? Join our next INSPIRED LEADERS photo event 1 Hr of photo fun where we get to play in front of the camera (don't worry, you WILL have fun) and we capture incredible, editorial styled photographs of you that show your true, radiant, unique self to the world. These photographs will allow your biz audience to get to know you on a genuine, mission driven level and will shine a light on your expertise and talent. SWIPE ➡️These are just a sample of what we'll create on set. I can't wait to dive in and get this party started💃💃💃. ✨ONLY TWO MORE SESSIONS left for 12 FEB NEWSTEAD, BRISBANE. DM ASAP for the details. Special bonus for the first person who DMs and books! The next photoshoot date in Brisbane is not until Mid March (I'm off to Melbourne for 3 massive inspired Leaders days in between time). 💖✨💖✨💋💋💋 #inspiredleaders #newstead #camerapro #lovemyclients #lovemyjob #corporatemakeover #lovewhatyoudo #brandingphotographer #rebeccataylor #creativeleaders #creative_portraits #creativepreneur #brisbane (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-T-wkrMW1/?igshid=1mlxzqz4xqkxq

A great leader leads by example. That is a well known fact. The new breed of successful leaders are amplifying their creativity and encourage those they lead to do the same. As a leader in this new normal, are you still demanding of others what you are incapable of doing yourself? Leadership styles have evolved over time and it takes creativity to keep your team/followers excited and passionate to keep doing what you say. Don’t just be a leader that is predictable and lacks creativity in your approach and style. BE A CREATIVE LEADER. Want to find out more? Tune in to Live A Phenomenal Life Show with my guest Ola Bella @olabella_partysaints, 🇬🇧 No 1 Entertainer at 11.30am 🇳🇬 time @madamemerola page on Facebook. Creativity is the new game changer.
