The story of David Kelley’s childhood friend having his creative confidence crushed by a classmate is going to resonate with you.

You will watch the opening to this TED video where Kelley, of IDEO and Stanford’s d.school fame, tells this story and it will hit you.

You will remember the time that someone, be it a teacher, friend, classmate, parent or a complete random stranger, shattered your creative confidence.

Kelley explains the process that is needed to allow everyone to regain their creative confidence.
