Michael Gelb – Mastering Creativity
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-module transformational program, Michael will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies that you’ll need to awaken your creativity, expand your creative toolkit and master your creative process.
Each training session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to ignite the creative fire within you.
Module 1: Mastering the Creative Mindset, Part 1
According to The American Heritage Dictionary, “mindset” is “a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.” Psychologists have known for many years that mindsets have a huge impact on your mood, your perceptual abilities and your general level of happiness. And mindset is probably the most important influence on your creative ability. In this session, we’ll begin to explore what it takes to have your ideal creative mindset.
You’ll learn:
- The key steps to cultivating a mindset that will liberate your original genius
- How to cultivate and strengthen your “growth mindset,” which is scientifically proven to help continuously develop your creative powers
- A simple, powerful exercise for clarifying your creative purpose to help you organize and elevate your creative energy
- To embrace surprise, playfulness, humor and laughter – and see their importance in your creative insight
Module 2: Mastering the Creative Mindset, Part 2
In our second module, we’ll deepen the exploration of the creative mindset, so you can step more fully into it. Important topics include: “Strengthening Your Confusion Endurance” and “How to ‘Assume Chutzpah,’ which comes from what Greek philosopher Aristotle described as “acquiring a particular quality by acting in a particular way”. In other words, you become ethical by acting ethically, and brave by acting bravely. And you become creative by acting creatively. In this session, you’ll also discover perhaps the most simple – yet most powerful – aspect of the creative mindset.
You’ll learn:
- The importance of not just tolerating ambiguity but even embracing it!
- How to cultivate the “moxie” needed for “acting creatively”
- The ways to maximize your creativity through a new relationship to beauty

Module 3: Mastering the Creative Process, Part 1

Module 4: Mastering the Creative Process, Part 2
If Michael were to recommend just one method for mastering the creative process, it would be “Mind Mapping.” Often called the “Swiss Army Knife of the mind,” Mind Mapping is a versatile tool for generating and organizing ideas using images and keywords in a nonlinear format. Originated by English author and poet Tony Buzan, Mind Mapping enhances all 5 phases of the creative process.
