You Have More than
Half a Brain: Creativity Tips, Tools & Techniques
One key skill that companies look for
today is creativity. Besides, being creative makes life more fun in all
areas, not just work. So, what if you aren’t creative? Or what if
you feel like you’ve hit a block of some sort? Learn about the latest
brain research on creativity — what works and what doesn’t.
You’ll learn lots of different tips, tools and techniques —
and have fun doing it.
Don’t
Just Set It — Get It!: Goal Achieving Tips, Tools & Techniques
Setting goals is one thing. Moving forward
is another. Of course, setting the goal is a good start. Let’s look
at different ways to go about that — since we are all such different
people. And then learn lots of ideas that will help you move forward towards
those goals. You’ll learn from Hang Gliders, Romance Novelists, Cartoonists
and Corporate Tycoons — and, oh yes, from yourself.

Jump
Up & Down! Energize Yourself & Your Environment
You know that stress causes
illness, reduces productivity, and certainly depletes your energy. We’ll
look at managing those stressors, but the approach here is "what
can I do to increase my energy?" From simple and quick to the more
challenging and longterm, you’ll walk away with lots of ideas. You’ll
get to test-run a bunch of them today. Get ready to get ENERGIZED!
Learn
to Say No: Adding Pause, Reflection
& Focus to Life
"Women too often respond ‘yes’
or ‘no’ to demands by checking whether their calendar is free.
Women need to start checking with their own goals to see if the request
fits in." — Jackie Farley, Ceo,
CenterPoint
This applies to everyone — men and women. Our lives have taken on
the speed of technology, amazingly unlimited opportunity, and "too
muchness!" It’s time to step back and put life back into our
lives. That includes pause, reflection and focus. Learn to make conscious
choices to say no when necessary. And, yes, sometimes that even means
saying no to opportunity. (And yes, sometimes that means saying no to
your boss — learn how to make him/her thank you for it.)
Take the Dare:
Risk-taking Reaps Rewards
Everyone thinks that because I’m
in the Army Reserve I’m one of those gung-ho, brave risk-takers.
Wrong. I’m a chicken about a lot of things. But I’ve learned
that the juice of life is often in a place outside my comfort zone. So
I’ve learned how to take planned risks. I’m not talking about
bungee-jumping or white-water kayaking here. I’m talking about risks
that stretch you to where you want to go — personally and professionally.
I’ll share tricks and tools that work.

"Do
I have a GREAT Resource/Contact for You!": Win/Win Networking

or meeting with your questions unanswered? This kickoff session starts
your conference, meeting or even social function off with a bang. You’ll
learn a tool to help you effectively network in all situations. Start
the energy of your meeting out on high — help your attendees get
what they need out of the conference —help your employees, members

how.
Reinvent
Your Life to Reinvigorate Your Career
Research shows that 80% of workers go
home from work on Friday exhausted. What’s sadder is that 81% go
back to work on Monday exhausted. You can’t be at your best —
at work or at home — if you have no energy. It’s hard to get
excited about things —and difficult to be innovative — if you
are dragging through the day. Learn the little and big things you can
do to increase your energy and enthusiasm. Learn how to make conscious
choices and create a new vision for your life to revitalize your life.
Here’s how.
