Fantastic question! Aligning creativity, planning, and values unlocks powerful goal achievement. Identify your core values, then brainstorm projects that resonate. Plan using your strengths to bring those creative ideas to life!

It is crucial to have that alignment so that we can experience the success that we are desiring. Through my personal and career development, I was presented with experiences that allowed me to identify my personal values. Those values helped me to figure out my desire to be an entrepreneur and to create my own company. It was not a simple process to identify my values, but when I did, it helped me with decision-making. Through my doctoral training and my research for developing my company, I noticed that it was also important to identify the values for my company. The alignment of creativity and planning with my company's values helped in pinpointing the services that are being offered to micro businesses.

After reading this description of creativity and planning, there are two things that come to mind for me. Having completed a dissertation and being a founder of my own company are personal examples for me utilizing my creativity and planning skills. The nature of completing a dissertation involves identifying a problem that exists that others have not investigated as yet and identifying possible implications from the results obtained from the research. As a founder, I utilized my research skills and my creativity to identify a solution to offer to micro businesses. My planning skills have and continue to help me with organizing and developing my solution as well as executing it through the services that I offer through my company.

In any organisation the Values define the ethos of the firm. These set of values always drive the business at its core, Values drive Vision, Vision Drives Mission, every mission is best achieved with a set of Strategic objectives, every strategic objective is met by deploying principles of Design thinking where creativity, innovation, and empathy are inbuilt and ingrained. This is how Values creativity and innovation are interrelated. values are profound and philosophical level where as creativity innovation etc are at transactional level

Figuring out the the different ways your guiding principles overlap with your skills is a good start: but identifying what in that overlap you enjoy doing on the day to day is vital. Some say if you couldn't do it for a life time, don't do it for a day. There's wisdom there, but sometimes practicality gets in the way, so in the short term it's okay to try different things, as long as you keep watering the main tree till it fruits. Sometimes the work you'll do for the rest of your career will jump of the page, other times it will take hours of diligent strategic thinking to come up with something worth testing. As with all things though, it is a working idea, and should be iterated upon.

When we take the time to identify our values, then we are in a much better position to identify the direction in which we want to go. From a business development standpoint, when we identify our company values and align then with our mission and vision, then our strategic planning process becomes easier. It is through that strategic planning process that I help clients with understadning the need for them to incorporate actual goals. Many people talk about things that they think are goals, but what they are talking about actually lacks the components of an actual goal. This is where utilizing the SMART or SMARTER frameworks becomes helpful. When define our actual goals, then we have a much clearer picture on how we will achieve them.

1) Add fun & game elements to make the process enjoyable. It can be a fun goal (eg joining a new class), have milestone celebrations (eg a bubble tea for achieving something), and/or having fun at the end of it (eg saving money for a big holiday). 2) Have small daily evaluations (eg during shower) and make incremental changes (eg add 1 extra item weekly) than make sudden big changes. Replace an old habit with a similar one is easier than implementing a new habit into an existing lifestyle. 3) Only when we set our mind to do/achieve something, then it gets done. It is not possible to do everything all the time. Better to focus on 1-3 directional goals for the year, streamline decision making and align majority of the actions to them.

Creativity is osmosis; be around those that are solving problems and solutions to your own will arise. Be around those who are avoiding their problems, and you'll fall into escapism as well.

If everyone in the room looks up to you it's a good time to reflect and consider if you've outgrown the room. You might not have however if everyone in the room knows and admires you but you haven't been able to achieve the goals, then either your approach needs to change or the room needs to change. You want to be in a space where you're an unknown small fish in the specific area you're trying to develop in, so you can absorb the mindsets of bigger fish. Then leap into the next pond.

Align creativity and planning with values by integrating ethical considerations, sustainability, and social responsibility into decision-making processes. Example: Incorporating environmental impact assessments into project planning, prioritizing inclusive design principles, and advocating for ethical sourcing of materials. Regular reflection on how projects align with personal and organizational values fosters a culture of integrity and purpose-driven innovation.
