The start of the week is a good time to define your own creativity manifesto and make a list of things you’d like to accomplish. Many find lists restrictive, but the truth is restrictions force you to stay more creative about your craft and explore the boundaries to make something unique and truly your own.

I was in a board meeting last summer where we faced a curious situation. The company was performing well, revenues were rising, engagement was on the up, and every month the path to becoming a very big business was getting clearer, but fundraising discussions were slower than planned. One of the Directors asked why we insiders were sure that the prospects were strong but new investors weren’t biting.

In fact, as more companies embrace remote work , the need for dedicated private offices diminishes.
