“I’m Not Creative” Is Holding More People Back Than They Realize.
When people say “I’m not creative,” it’s rarely about ability.
It’s about not wanting to feel uncomfortable trying something new.
Brené Brown’s research shows that vulnerability is the willingness to try without knowing the outcome it is essential for growth and leadership.
At work, that can feel risky.
In the right environment, it becomes powerful.
RDP’s Summer Series workshops do just that – we create a safe space to:
• explore ideas without judgment
• experiment and adjust
• build confidence in unfamiliar situations
These aren’t just creative exercises - they’re opportunities to strengthen:
✔ problem-solving
✔ adaptability
✔ innovative thinking
Try something different this summer: https://rdpolytech.ca/series-summer-art
Because growth doesn’t happen in the routine.

Leaders & Business Professionals! Think You’re Not Creative? That Might Be Your Competitive Gap.
Most professionals don’t see themselves as “creative.”
But today, the ability to problem-solve, adapt, and think differently is what sets people apart.
In Originals, Adam Grant explains that innovation isn’t about talent - it’s about generating ideas, testing them, and refining what works. It’s a process, not a personality trait.

This summer, try something different.
RDP’s Summer Series offers hands-on creative workshops designed to help you:
• approach challenges from new angles
• think more flexibly
• experiment in a low-pressure environment

Explore your untapped creativity: https://rdpolytech.ca/series-summer-art
You don’t need to be creative. You just need to be curious.
