How to regain your curiosity | Teodora Zivkovic | TEDxTUWien
What if the key to innovation isn’t just about having all the answers or the latest technology? What if the key to innovation lies in the Curiosity to ask bold questions, the Creativity to envision what others overlook, and the Courage to bring those visions to life? Innovators are driven by curiosity, allowing them to connect seemingly unrelated concepts and explore uncharted territories. Their unique thinking processes empower them to explore, dream, imagine, and, most importantly - take action. In this talk, we’ll unravel how anyone can cultivate innovative thinking and transform ideas into impactful realities. Video produced by Apehouse (www.apehouse.at). Teodora Zivkovic is passionate about introducing and explaining the power of innovative thinking to the world. Through her design thinking concepts, she emphasizes the importance of curiosity, creativity, and courage as the three essential human dimensions that drive innovation.
From a young age, she embraced creativity, which led her to study Architecture and immerse herself in various design, fashion, startup, and charity projects. Her curiosity eventually brought her to the world of Design Thinking, where she discovered that creativity transcends the arts and serves as a catalyst for innovation in any field.
Trusting that cultivating these three qualities empowers individuals to dream big and take bold actions, Teodora is dedicated to helping others transform their visions into reality. Though the journey may be challenging, as a passionate triathlete and marathon runner, she firmly believes that any distance is surmountable and that even the greatest dreams are within reach.
