Time to talk Pioneer

This month we are all about being on the bleeding edge of the wave of ideas.

This month we had 2 fantastic speakers talking about how compassion has become a driving force of a project.

Janine and Asmae shared the incredible story of how a simple idea, Ramadan Fridges, went from a simple idea to a large community engagement activity in the blink of an eye.

What was incredible was how these 2 women made people stop, reflect and then think about how they can create a movement that people engage in because they are passionate about the ideas.

We are always glad to see those who come to CreativeMornings engaging with the speakers and the ideas after the talk.

And there are always a new faces and new ideas joining us in Dubai.

CreativeMornings is all about ideas and sharing!

Here is the talk!

One of the things we love about our mornings in Dubai is the playlist of tunes that Dale Nichols compiles for the talk.

CreativeMornings in Dubai with Lorne Riley.

What is Genius?

By Shivani Mathur

The theme for August is Genius. What is genius? To most
traditionalists, it is the ability to simplify high order
differential equations or the talent of stringing together the
most esoteric words of the dictionary, effortlessly. To art
lovers, it’s the encapsulation of iconoclasm in the form of
sculptures and paintings, while sports fans see genius in
the craft with which Sachin Tendulkar plays cricket. I
personally see genius in the intricacy with which the
seamstresses at Chanel weave details on to coats. The
truth is that Genius is really all around us, it’s subjective,
yes, but really all of us are capable of relishing it.

Taking a moment to appreciate the brilliant science and
beauty behind the uniqueness of a snowflake is genius
itself. Yes, you read correctly. It’s not always an
occurrence that needs to be genius. Much like a
melancholic poem or perfectly balanced income statement
needs a special kind of person to find value in its beauty, it
takes a genius to well, recognize genius. We can all be
deemed geniuses in the realms we find passion or
prowess in, in the same way writers become Gods of the
vast universes they build in their stories.

Come tune into the August edition of Creative Mornings at
Barsha Heights Dubai to rediscover what sets you apart
as a genius and hear about what veteran communications
expert, Lorne Riley has to say on this piquant subject.

As always we kick off with some background music that is curated by Dale Nichols.

Our playlist this week month was a lot of fun.

John Ellis shares a lifetime of Serendipity

Imagineering is all about living on the fringe of serendipitous moments as we learn from John Ellis. John walked us behind the curtain of the world of theme parks and into the minds of those creating them, wow, just normal people like you and I.
