What my recent tour of Asia revealed was that many countries - Singapore, Taiwan, India, and Malaysia are now actively exploring CREATIVITY - with some governments actually funding "the psychology of creativity".

In the late 90s, a Taskforce in the UK defined creative industries as:

"Those industries which have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent and which have a potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property"

- UK Creative Industries Taskforce,
Creative Industries Mapping Document, November 1998

In 2005, in Singapore, a government department recognized that he architects of the new global economy are those who apply imagination, creativity and knowledge to generate new ideas and create value for the client. They stated that the new currency of success would be "Multi-dimensional creativity - artistic creativity, business entrepreneurship and technological innovation"

A local Singapore college has a "Psychology of Creativity" department, which studies and verifies some of the methods used in Whole Mind Success seminars, and is training the local workforce to unlock their creativity.

In this environment, our Whole Mind Success seminars were greeted with great enthusiasm. Both full day seminars were sold out, and attendees were asking us to present more seminars in their country, and giving us names of potential clients.

What about us, here in the USA? - are we, as a country, helping to promote and nurture the innate creativity of our people? What do you think?
