Everyone - including you! - is intensely creative. Dr. Caroline Brookfield explains.

Dr. Caroline Brookfield is an author, speaker, and entrepreneur. Caroline helps "non-creatives" connect with a creative mindset to build confidence in change, buffer against burnout, and leverage individual originality for adaptability and problem-solving, even when facing the most perplexing challenges. We start today’s conversation with a definition of creativity. Caroline distinguishes between Big C, small c, and mini-c creativity. We ask questions such as Can AI be creative?, and Is scientific investigation a creative act? Caroline then delves into her DANCE model - the five habits that will allow anyone to harness their creative energy. Podcast for Inquiry is hosted by Leslie Rosenblood and brought to you by the Centre for Inquiry Canada. Join today! Produced by Zack Dumont, Martin Zielinski, and Leslie Rosenblood.

Thanks to all speakers and participants who attended CFIC’s second semi-annual virtual conference, on November 14. We do appreciate the patience and forbearance of those who were with us from the beginning, when we had bit of a rocky start due to technical problems with the internet connections to our first speaker in Uganda. Videos of the talks are in the process of being posted on YouTube; so far the following talks are available: Religion and the Actor (William B Davis) Naturalizing the Uncanny (Dr Josh Redstone) Being a Black Atheist (Kathleen Johnson What is a Computational Theory of Mind (Keith Douglas)
