Creative Leadership: Unlocking the Power of Imagination

Everyone is creative! Whether you’re a gardener, piano player, tattoo artist, poet, or enjoy taking photos, you’re using your imagination. In our rapidly changing world and organizations, creative leaders have an advantage. They inspire and empower their teams to seek innovative solutions to organizational issues. They know how to nurture the creative potential of their employees and co-workers. This workshop will spark new ways of seeing, thinking, and doing, encouraging more creative and effective approaches at work and in life.
