Videos that make your creative brain say "Ahh"

You may have been introduced to RSA Animate videos during the past couple years. They are extraordinary video drawings--known by some as graphic facilitation--of provocative talks hosted by the RSA, a 250-year-old British think-tank-of-sorts (see more below).

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving with these animated videos for two of my favorite speakers on creativity:

1. Sir Ken Robinson speaking on education. No one captures the need for teaching creativity and changing our worldwide education system like Robinson. (If you are reading this on Facebook or from an email, click here to go directly to my blog to see the videos or here for YouTube.)



2. Dan Pink speaking on motivation, based on his most recent book, Drive. Intrinsic motivation is key for our own creativity, and the principles for increased motivation and increased creativity are quite similar.

From the RSA website: "For over 250 years the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) has been a cradle of enlightenment thinking and a force for social progress. Our approach is multi-disciplinary, politically independent and combines cutting edge research and policy development with practical action."
