Apply your Creativity Everywhere – Like Dali

Destination Innovation

In January 1952 the renowned artist Salvador Dali appeared on the US TV game show, ‘What’s My Line?’ The panel members were blindfolded and had to question the guest to determine his identity. Almost every question they asked he answered in the affirmative. ‘Are you a performer?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Are you a writer?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Are you an artist?’ ‘Yes.’ And so on until one of panellists said in frustration, ‘There is nothing this man does not do!’.

A lot of companies see one comment or online negativity as the “be all and end all” for their business! I have worked with some business owners who have taken their focus completely off of their vision because of one negative review on the google play store!
