I bet you're creative!

Do you know I meet so many people who claim not to have a creative bone in their body and yet if I get to delve further, out come a whole list of things they do that use the creative part of their brain. It's incredible! We often think about creativity as having to draw something or make something but read Raisa Critchley's Pink Expertise answers and you'll see a woman prepared to shout about what she can do best and yes, she's creative...here's what she says;

1. What talent do you naturally have that makes you successful?
 
  
There are two main talents which contribute to my success: creativity and the ability to understand people on a very deep level. The creative side has partly been fulfilled through one of my hobbies – clothes design. Combined with good taste and the ability to put an outfit together this means that selecting and creating different styles has always been a very easy and pleasant activity for me. My ability to show understanding to people on a very deep level means that they are willing to be open with me and really tell me the truth about themselves. These talents form the basis of my passion, helping people to become happier and more successful, and the process of transformation is especially inspiring for me.

2. When did you first realise that talent was going to help you and how do you use it?

At University I first noticed that people reacted to me differently depending on the way I presented myself and I started to manage and control this process depending on the situation. The decision to become a professional image consultant came when I helped my own husband to transform his own career – from a middle management position to a Vice President. A lot of people lose opportunities in their professional and personal life because their image communicates a wrong or inappropriate message. I help them to change it increasing their chances of reaching their goals.
