Why is creative confidence important?
What blocks you from being creative? • Learning & habit (‘correct’ responses, routines) • Rules & traditions (restrictive rules) • Preceptual barriers (biases, mental models) • Cultural barriers (social confirmation) • Emotional barriers (anger, fear, anxiety, hate) • Resource barriers (time, implementation restrictions) Davis, G. A. (1999). Barriers to creativity and creative attitudes. Encyclopedia of creativity, 1, 165-174.
Emotional barriers Neuroscience research has shown that uncontrollable stress leads to worse performance on creativity tasks high social-evaluative threats decrease creative performance Vartanian, et al, The Creative Brain under Stress: Considerations for Performance in Extreme Envirinments (2020)

Psychological safety & fear of failure Fear of failure is a huge obstacle for creativity It manifests itself f.e. in: • Fear of being judged • Fear of rejection • Fear of getting started • Fear of the unknown Kelley, Tom and David Kelley; Creative Confidence: Unleasing the creative potential within us all. William Collins, 2014
Do you recognize this? Think of a situation in the past month in which you wanted to be creative but didn’t because you felt some kind of fear of failure: embaressment, fear of being judged, etc.
How to overcome you fear? So, if we know fear of failure is a huge obstacle for creativity, then, how can we overcome this fear?
