creative spirit stirs, it animates a style of being: a lifetime filled with the
desire to innovate, to explore new ways of doing things, to bring dreams of
reality.

ever happened to you? You're out for a jog, completely relaxed, your mind a
pleasant blank. Then all of a sudden the solution to a problem you've been
mulling over for weeks pops into your head. You can't help but wonder why you
didn't think of it before.
In such
moments you've made contact with the creative spirit, that elusive muse of
good—and sometimes great—ideas. Yet it is more than an occasional insight. When
the creative spirit stirs, it animates a style of being: a lifetime filled with
the desire to innovate, to explore new ways of doing things, to bring dreams
of reality.
That flash of inspiration is the final moment of a process marked by distinctive stages—the basic steps in creative problem-solving. The first stage is preparation, when you search out any information that might be relevant. It's when you let your imagination roam free. Being receptive, being able to listen openly and well, is a crucial skill here.
