Learning to think of what other people wouldn't normally think of is a gift that can be borrowed. Even if you're not exactly an innovative person it isn't the end of the world. Being creative means you have to be ready to break down existing barriers of thought to pass on to a future of innovation. There aren't a lot of people who think creatively and that's why some people need creativity coaching. Work places are competitive places nowadays and it would be useful for someone to think differently.
Confined thoughts die in a mental prison if they're not released on time. Learning to express your thoughts to people is a good way to improve your creativity and liberate your mind. But when thoughts are suppressed for some reason or another they get to a stage where they are crippled and unable to emerge. To make this a little easier it would help to express your thoughts to a friend you know would openly receive them.
Once you begin to embrace your open thoughts it is only natural that you should diversify and expose yourself to multiple points of view. Somehow the sub-conscious has a way of picking up on habits; characteristics and positive attributes from other people. Expose yourself to different music; movies; magazines; foods etc. This way your brain picks up on creative thoughts and attempts to make some of its own.
Play games with children and observe the things they do. But don't just sit and watch, you have to participate and learn to see things the way they see them. Children have a powerful imagination; a lot can be learned from kids.
Hang around creative people and tackle problems together with them. This will slowly put you in the 'why, how and when' state of mind where thoughts roam free like wild grass in virgin flames.
Keep a note pad and pen with you wherever you go. There will always be situations when you think of a brilliant idea that later slips from your head; it's best to be prepared. Even the most creative of people move around with devices for capturing innovative ideas.
