Creativity & Collaboration
Collaborative Professionals know firsthand the creativity required to conclude a Collaborative Divorce successfully far exceeds the creativity required to settle or “win” a case in litigation.
In litigation, the “winner” is the side that presents the best legal rationale for awarding their side what they want. And though the law is not always black and white, the best it can get is gray.
Collaborative Divorce lets both sides creatively approach problems and consider a wider array of options, resulting in far better outcomes.
Despite its importance, creativity is not explicitly taught in most academic programs. On the contrary, the creative mindset and approach are largely educated out of students during their schooling, where pursuing high grades is paramount. Collaborative Professionals must therefore “relearn” how to think creatively so they can help their clients do the same.
For this reason, the Florida Academy of Collaborative Professionals (FACP) hosted the virtual workshop “Creativity & Collaboration” in January 2023. The presenter was Jim Friedman, Ph.D., Professor of creativity and marketing at Miami University in Ohio. Dr. Friedman is the Chief Steward of the United Nations-observed World Creativity & Innovation Week/Day (WCIW/D).
In this lively and entertaining workshop, Dr. Friedman (he prefers Jim) went over key elements of creativity and the role it plays in garnering the most successful outcomes possible.
This hour-long workshop was edited for use by Collaborative Practice Groups to celebrate World Creativity & Innovation Week/Day. On April 21, the short, medium, and long edited segments will be promoted to the general public at 11am. Since divorce is the unfortunate outcome in nearly 50% of marriages, this discussion is approaching it collaboratively and creatively is highly relevant.
