The Penny-Drop Moment: Reframing Problems Through Creative Insight
In this episode, Dr. Ash Kumar and Fionnuala Featherstone explored Creative Innovation—the skill of breaking free from unhelpful patterns and seeing challenges through a fresh, elevated lens. Using the metaphor of a frog befriending a bird to rise above the tall grass, the discussion highlights the power of blue-sky thinking when we feel stuck or limited by our current perspective.
✨ Key Themes & Insights
1. The Need for Creative Innovation
When old methods stop working or problems evolve, creativity becomes essential. As the famous Einstein quote suggests, repeating the same actions won’t create new outcomes.
2. Seeing Problems Differently
A story about Einstein giving the same exam questions two years in a row illustrates how experience changes how we view problems—and how growth shifts our answers.
3. Innovation in Healthcare
We discuss the Hospital at Home model, a creative approach offering hospital-level care in patients’ homes. This reduces hospital-related complications and eases system pressures.
4. Adapting Through COVID-19
The pandemic accelerated new ways of working—Zoom sessions, hybrid services, outdoor coaching, and creative collaborations—all benefiting clients and expanding what’s possible.
5. How to Foster Creativity
Practical steps include:
- Recognizing when you’re stuck
- Seeking external insight through coaching or trusted conversations
- Using reflective tools to examine patterns
- Taking proactive action and scheduling weekly creative nourishment (e.g., plays, books, art, nature)
