The Importance of Creativity
Once upon a time, the people with most knowledge or the most impressive resume held a distinct advantage. Today that is no longer enough. Technology has made information, data, and knowledge accessible to anyone.
In short, the playing field is level.
The only way you can differentiate is with creativity. When you use your creativity for problem-solving or creating a new product or service, you make this world a better place.
Only with creativity will we cure illnesses, solve global problems, break down societal barriers, and create a better world.
Investing in your creativity or the creativity of your people is investing in the future, which impacts today.
Creativity is your greatest asset.
Speaking on Creativity
Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of leading creativity workshops for CEOs, Trusted Advisors, American Marketing Association chapters, university marketing associations, and startups.
My goal is to empower and encourage. Our time together, whether it be a day, weekly, or monthly meetings, will be interactive, conversational, and customized to your industry.
During our time together you will:
-
Address personal and corporate roadblocks to creativity (perfectionism, fear of failure, etc.)
-
Redefine creativity in a manner which makes it accessible to all
-
Examine real-world examples of creativity to uncover their success
-
Discuss the importance and role of creativity in business
-
Practice what you’ve learned on current issues in your business
-
Regain creative confidence in yourself and your team
