Two Things You Need To Thrive as a Creative Pro

Creating under pressure is challenging. This is especially true when you’re creating inside of an organization, and you have all of the unspoken expectations, dysfunctions, and conflicts to deal with just in order to get around to your work. On this episode, we share two primary things that all creative people need in order to thrive, how to diagnose whether you’re getting them, and what to do about it if you’re not.

The insights in this episode are from the book Herding Tigers.
