Podcast appearances and mentions of beth jarman

In episode 5, John and Kevin discuss creativity as a process rather than an outcome. Every creative person produces finished work from time to time. For each creative work, however, there is a process of continuous learning and improvement that goes into it. They discuss the importance of a growth mindset and being open to viewing each work as a step along the way of a much longer journey.The guys also talk about studies done in the 1960s that show we are all born creative and we can recapture that creativity at any point in our lives.ResourcesMuch of the material for this episode was drawn from an article by James Clear: Creativity is a Process, Not an Event. Check it out on Jame's Clear's site. Jame Clear and the hosts also discuss a landmark study done by George Land and Beth Jarman in 1968. Click here for an article and TED Talk on this study.The Funniest Joke in the World (you'll know why we sent you here)Kevin brought Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind by Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire. If you want to understand what being creative does to our brains and bodies, this is a great resource.John introduced the book Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative by Austin Kleon.Kleon's book discusses many of the same subjects as the hosts do in the podcast but puts a great deal of emphasis on learning from, and emulating, your influences as a way to help find your own voice. In turn, Kleon discusses the value of learning from the influences that inspired your creative heroes. This is a public episode.

In 1992, NASA had Dr. George Land and Dr. Beth Jarman develop a test designed to identify the capacity for divergent thinking. Their findings were remarkable (https://twentyonetoys.com/blogs/teaching-21st-century-skills/creative-genius-divergent-thinking). At the age of five, 98% of kids tested as geniuses. By adulthood, it dropped to less than 2%. Why this drop? Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talk helps explain that (https://youtu.be/iG9CE55wbtY) and showcase that the answer is creativity. Imagination is the key to genius in all disciplines of life. Which begs the question why do so many of us lose our creativity? It all boils down to fear, sadly. Fear of failure. Fear of looking stupid. Fear of being judged. Fear of wasting time, etc. So how do we overcome this? Is it possible to overcome even? I say yes! Much like my ideas about talent being a process, not a skill (https://philsvitek.com/talent-is-not-a-skill-its-a-process/), so too is creativity. You can practice and relearn creativity. Susan Roberts has some good guiding wisdom for this (https://player.fm/series/unleash-your-inner-creative-with-lauren-lograsso/best-of-unleash-overcome-negativity-bias-w-susan-robertson). These ideas are the basis for this episode and the notions I unpack to help you reach your genius. We all have it within us.

Nel 1968 George Land e Beth Jarman realizzarono un test per misurare la creatività degli ingegneri aerospaziali della NASA. Lo stesso test fu condotto poi su 1600 bambini dell'età di 5 anni. I risultati aprirono le porte a diverse domande: Da cosa nasce la creatività? Come possiamo (dis)impararla? In che modo possiamo allenarla? -------- Per avere accesso a risorse e approfondimenti esclusivi sugli argomenti affrontati nel podcast, puoi iscriverti al mio canale telegram da qui --> https://t.me/renatojoy

Qu'est-ce que la créativité ? Etes-vous créatif ? Pouvez-vous le devenir ? Nous répondons à quelques unes de ces questions au fil de nos découvertes. Dans cet épisode vous serez surpris (nous l'espérons) par toutes les notions qui gravitent autour de la créativité. Vous apprendrez qu'au fil de l'âge nous sommes de moins en moins créatifs mais qu'il n'existe pas de fatalité et que l'on devient créatif plus qu'on ne l'apprend. Pour rappel, nous ne sommes pas des experts mais de simples curieux qui partageons ce qui nous a intéressé. Ainsi, si des éléments sont manquants ou erronés, n'hésitez pas à nous le faire savoir. Nous essaierons autant que possible de rectifier nos propos. Bonne écoute! Références: - R.E.

Episode Notes [Background: Thelonious Monk - Don’t Blame Me]Welcome to episode four of Tenny’s Tunes. I am your host, Tenny!Now, I wanna spend some time taking you back to childhood. Our childhood. In cognitive psychology, we learned that crystallized intelligence, such as skills, knowledge and experience, increases with age while fluid intelligence, the ability to assess and solve problems in novel circumstances, decreases as we grow older. This leads some people to believe that the mind of a child is way more creative than that of an adult’s. In other words, we can become smarter and wiser, but never more creative than our younger selves. Scientific studies have produced persuasive evidence for this argument. A 1968 creativity test on 1,600 children conducted by George Land and Beth Jarman demonstrated a sharp drop in creativity score, from 98 percent at 5 years of age to 12 percent at 15 years old, all the way down to 2 percent around 31 years old. A gradual decrease in the capacity to think outside the box: seems like most of us undergrads don’t think about it too much. Several people I met throughout my life thus far have expressed interest in learning Chinese from me. In exchange, I would also practice speaking a few other languages with them, such as spanish and japanese. Amid our joy of learning new phrases and being complimented by one another, many of them still told me they would have been able to, say, learn a new language much faster, if they were a just a couple years younger. What if we could freeze aging and stay as a child forever? Just like that high school detective who turned back into a first-grader from the popular crime-solving series “Case Closed”? I am not sure how well received this cartoon was in the U.S., but for any kid who loved watching TV in China, Japan or Korea back in the 90s and 2000s, Protagonist Kudou Shinichi, aka Edogawa Conan, the high school detective who got turned into a first-grader by a mysterious crime organization, whose name was inspired by the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, represents a portion of our childhood. In elementary school, literally every child, good and bad at taking tests alike, would worship and pray to Conan for good luck before taking a test.The main theme of Case Closed, composed by Japanese film score producer Oono Katsuo, was and still is so popular in Japan and worldwide that even the Japanese military band performed the piece on several occasions. It is one of those melodies that gets stuck in your head after hearing it just once. A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine, a fervent fan of Case Closed just like I am, had requested me to make a piano rendition, so I did. Get ready, cue the music.(Play Recording)Although short, it’s one of those dramatic music with an epic intro that simply demands attention. If there is one thing I learned from doing these episodes of Tenny’s Tunes, it’s that music really just boils down to the chord progression that serves as the skeleton on which the melody builds. For this particular piece, the gradual downward chord progression supporting the catchy melody fits like bread and butter with the storyline. I can just picture Conan chasing down the culprit on his solar energy skateboard and amplified running shoes. Can you feel the energy being injected into you with every chord, every single note landing on your ear drums? If you enjoyed the main theme of Case Closed, be sure to check out some of the other works by Mr. Oono and perhaps the cartoon itself. You won’t regret it, trust me. :)Music produced by Oono Katsuo, performed on the piano by me. I am Tenny Tsang, and this is NBN Audio. Thank you so much for listening, and stay tuned to Tenny’s Tunes. Have a great winter! This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Jane Hanckel is a mother, author and co-founder of Inspired Education about how we as parents can foster our children's development to meet the immense challenges of our times. Jane quotes the World Economic Forum's (2016) findings that the qualities we need to nurture in our children are creativity, collaboration and emotional intelligence and that the current education system does not do that. Instead, there are things we as parents can do at home to keep these innate aspects of our humanity alive, through unstructured play, time in nature, nourishing food and family relationships. Jane also cites research that has found that our investment in time and energy in fostering these qualities sets our children's health up for life.

"Your contribution is necessary. You are free to define what that contribution is in a way that is an actual reflection of you in a more fully self-expressed way." ~Nita Baum We arrive in this world with birthright gifts—then we spend the first half of our lives abandoning them or letting others disabuse us of them. As young people, we are surrounded by expectations that may have little to do with who we really are, expectations held by people who are not trying to discern our selfhood but to fit us into slots. In families, schools, workplaces, and religious communities, we are trained away from true self toward images of acceptability; under social pressures like racism and sexism our original shape is deformed beyond recognition; and we ourselves, driven by fear, too often betray true self to gain the approval of others. We are disabused of original giftedness in the first half of our lives. Then—if we are awake, aware, and able to admit our loss—we spend the second half trying to recover and reclaim the gift we once possessed. Sometimes you don’t know how great life truly can be until you are there. ~Parker Palmer This conversation on Giftedness with Nita Baum is one of the best podcast conversations I have had yet. We touch on the following themes: How your unique contribution is essential for you and for the rest of us How it may take time to figure it out The education system's impact on our giftedness A surprising landmark study on creative genius conducted by Beth Jarman and George Land using a test created by NASA Systemic issues—diversity/tolerance begins with our own self-acceptance—even our own weirdness and idiosyncrasies The role of elders Not holding fast to what you know because it’s going to change Your lens is valuable and each of us has the right to our own lens—we can all do that at the same time. A nod to artists and those who are marginalized including incarcerated--the need to find common ground And much more The series will continue for 3 more weeks! Look out for Special Episode 3 next week.
