A study of more than 5,000 adults in the US, UK, Germany, France and Japan shows that only 1 in 4 people tap into their creative potential, according to research conducted by Adobe.
The research is called State of Create and points out that 75% of people are pressured to be more productive than innovative or creative.
Creative people earn around 13% more than people who do not develop their creativity.
So, if your environment doesn't allow you to be creative at work, find a way to exercise this skill. Maybe even get a better job or start your own business.

But now, the question that everyone wants to know:
How to be creative at work?

It's in the air, in the air of your ideas. The transformation of your environment is about being creative at work. This place needs to provide you with new ideas.
So, what can you do to ensure that your company provides opportunities for your employees to learn to be creative?
- Errors
Be tolerant of them. After all, they are part of every creative process. If you are afraid of failure, you will never take risks.
So, encourage your employees to create new things, even if they get a no in return. Always give feedback on these mistakes. After all, they are what will make you grow, as well as the company's employees.
- Judge ideas, not people
People who have bad ideas cannot be judged. Problem-filled insights are natural for those who are not functioning with their very good mind.
A great tip is to meditate. This way, you can calm your mind and let your intuition speak for you. When you take care of your mind, you release stress and overload.
Because of the ego, we want to know the reason for everything and we want to be right. This limits and blocks our thoughts.
Encourage employees to meditate or do yoga, you can even implement this as a benefit in your company.
- The collaboration
Everyone should work together when it comes to evolution. Talking about different areas and profiles can stimulate your creativity.
The climate must be one of total collaboration. High internal competition and an aggressive culture can scare people and cause a certain blockage. Embrace them.
- Games
Games are not only fun, they also help you relax, stimulate creativity and logical reasoning. Playing with your brain can help you find solutions to things that seem completely hopeless.
- THE environment
In a pleasant environment, it is conducive to a friendly and very safe climate. The way people dress or feel also affects their performance.
In fact, ideas flow more easily, since as a professional, you can take risks and feel free to do so.
I think, therefore I create
When you were born, you already had this human characteristic of being creative. But it loses strength over time. Because of this, you should stimulate your creativity.
In 1968, George Land conducted a survey of 1600 children, in which he found that 98% of them were born creative, but that, at age 10, only 30% remained creative.
This comes from the child's stimuli. After the age of 30, only 2% remained creative.
But what the hell is it that we are born so creative and lose it over time?
We are conditioned to follow patterns. This blocks our creativity. Buy, read, eat and drink, but never talk about human development.
We are conditioned to learn how to solve things quickly. But we rarely learn to be creative at work.
