Knowledge is something that comes from outside of you. Wisdom is something that comes from inside of you.

When you are learning you are gathering knowledge. Then, there is a magical process where that knowledge transforms into wisdom and you own it from the inside out.

Learn how to transform knowledge into wisdom…

Transforming knowledge into wisdom is the journey of embodying what you’ve learned and making it your own.

Here are 4 steps to Transform any Knowledge you’ve gathered into Wisdom.

Step 1: Let it in

When you are gathering knowledge you are in the learning stage. The most powerful thing you can do during this stage is let it in. Allow yourself to listen, receive and absorb what you are learning.

Think of something you are learning right now, are you letting it in?

Step 2: Try it on

As you gather knowledge you need to try it on. Put the knowledge into practice and make it relevant in your life. This stage is about implementing what you are learning.

Where can you put some knowledge into practice?

Step 3: Make it  your own

When you put knowledge into practice you build a solid foundation to stand on. That foundation gives you the freedom to express yourself and add your unique creative flair.

Where can you add your own unique creative flair to something you’ve learned?

Step 4: Embody what you’ve learned

When you embody knowledge you have transformed it into wisdom.  This is the stage where you fully understand what you’ve learned and you have made it your own. You understand it inside and out!

Where in your life have you fully embodied knowledge and transformed it into wisdom?

*I would love to hear about how you have transformed knowledge into wisdom in your life!  Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.

The CD Knowledge Dress is a metaphor for embodying knowledge and transforming it into wisdom.

All the Thought Leaders included in the CD Knowledge Dress:

I’ve been passionately working away on the Knowledge Dress made of CDs.

While surrounded by a pile of CDs I realized all the great leaders, mentors and coaches featured in the dress have something in common…

they all express their unique creativity!

The Knowledge Dress is my way to celebrate and honor all the creative visionaries who have courageously followed their unique path and inspire us to do the same. The world wants your uniqueness!

If you want to create wild success based on your own unique expression you must discover, develop and express yourself.

I created the 21 Day Creativity Cleanse to guide you to unleash your unique creative expression and wild success!

Here are all the Creative Visionaries, leaders, mentors and celebrities featured in the Knowledge Dress of CDs:

I’m working on a nü costume made completely of CDs!

It isn’t a costume to wear to the grocery store, but rather a ritual costume to reflect on all the steps of my creative spiritual path.

Having a clear picture of where you are is like turning on your own spiritual GPS. It helps you clarify where you want to go.

Special Thank you to all the amazing people who have inspired me on my Creative Spiritual Path:

Happy Father’s Day!
On this special day I wanted to create a tribute to my dad to celebrate all the things I’ve learned from him.

My dad, Joseph Hollick, is an engineer. I grew up watching him design, build and construct things using his creative and logical mind.

When I started creating art, he taught me how to turn my imagination into reality. He instilled in me the necessity to use both the right and the left brain. I learned early on that if I wanted to create something it had to work both logistically and creatively.

I often go to my dad with a sketch of one of my wild ideas and say:
“Can you help me build this?”
and he always says: “Yes”

I think he enjoys the challenge.

Every sculpture I’ve ever created has been influenced by my dad. Whether he was there building it with me or not, all of my construction knowledge comes directly from him.

During the creative process I can get a bit…..uhmmm…..crazy! (you know what I mean)
My dad always stays level headed and helps find a solution that fits.

This dragon sculpture would probably still be a pile of sticks if it weren’t for my dad.
When I was out hiking I discovered all these glorious sticks. I could see knees, legs and a head in them, but I wasn’t sure how to get it to stand up securely.

It was a real engineering feat (and to be honest a complete experiment) to discover the dragon sculpture could withstand the Canadian elements. This sculpture was created for an outdoor exhibition I had at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario. It was during the summer that had many torrential downpours. This photo was taken on one of the very few sunny days that summer.

This dragon has seen many transformations, as have I. But because it has a solid foundation it can continue to grow and evolve. This is such a metaphor to me. Growing up with my dad has given me such a solid foundation, I know I can be and do anything!

Thanks Dad!
