What does it mean to be highly creative? Listen to my conversation with artist, musician and coach Tessa Richter, to find out and hear her views on creativity, health and accessing your full potential.
Bio Tessa Richter
Musician, Artist, Business Owner, Coach and author.
Having been diagnosed as a Highly Creative Person, she has become an expert on the topic, as well as on how living our potential is connected to our wellbeing. Fascinated by what humans can accomplish, her journey has taken her to explore practices from ancient cultures, such as meditation and mindset techniques, on to the realms of modern physics as a way to understand the world we live in. In 2020 she published her findings in her second book, Our secret potential - a new approach to purpose, performance and wellbeing in the 21st century.
For the last 10 years Tessa has been coaching individuals, including C-level executives, who have lost their jobs, are facing health issues or wish to take their creative or leadership skills to the next level. Her research over the past decades into understanding how creative processes work and how this energy can be harnessed for a sustainable future for all of us, as well as specifically for those with this gift, has inspired her to write her third book, to be published soon.

Four Creative Nuggets
- Being creative is not being artistic. Expressing artistically can be one form of being creative, but is not per se creative.
- what happens in a creative brain is that parts of our brains that normally don't interact connect.
- Channelling your creativity into your purpose ‘Triggers your potential’.
- Synaptic connection that is not predictable in human creativity.
