Lesson 1: Creativity & Inventiveness
Imagine a world without the music you love, the movies that move you, or that device in your hand that you couldn’t live without – that’s the power of creativity.
Someone somewhere at some moment came up with the idea that turned into that song, that movie, that device. Coming up with new ideas = inventiveness = creativity. Your passport to the possible.

Lesson 2: Sparking Initiative
Are you:
a) One of those people who waits to be asked or told; or
b) One of those people who can spot an issue and come up with some ideas/suggestions/solutions on your own?
If your answer is b) then congratulations, you are on your way to being a great initiative-taker.
It’s all well and good being creative and coming up with ideas, but it’s the ‘go-getter’ people who make them real. Initiative is that ‘go-getter’ attitude: about taking charge, providing the spark, making things happen, and turning dreams into reality.
So let’s focus on what initiative even is, what stops people from taking initiative, and how to get some of that sparky ‘go-getter’ attitude for yourself and your team.
What we will cover in this lesson:
(a) Understanding Initiative
(b) Initiative Ingredients
(c) Instilling Initiative in Others
