Creativity is critical in your job but some days it can be tough to get your ideas to flow. A big myth about creativity is that if you aren't a designer, you aren't creative. Creativity is actually seeing opportunities where others see obstacles, seeing possibility where others see problems and seeing solutions where others see challenges. 

 

Come to this interactive experience and learn:

 

1. How to strengthen your creative muscle
2. The #1 thing you are doing that kills your creativity
3. Simple tools you can use to access your creativity whenever you want

 

About the speaker:

As the daughter of a neuroscientist, former advertising agency owner, and a master of emotional intelligence, Kathleen Riessen is on a mission to build emotionally intelligent advertising agencies. What else do you do with that kind of a background? In her free time, she hangs out with her husband and three boys and uses her mediocre crochets skills to make her sisters' crazy holiday outfits meant for toddlers that she then makes them wear in public. You can hear Kathleen weekly on her live radio show/podcast, "The Kathleen Riessen Show: Pushing the Boundaries of Leadership".
