Most Valuable?
Challenging Assumptions
We miss solutions because we do not
see our surroundings, resources, and
possibilities right in front of us.

Because of my participation in A Crash
Creativity Course, I dared to fill out an
application to become part of the Dan
Pink Book Launch Team for his newest
book, To Sell Is Human.

By challenging assumptions I could
now see myself as one of 96 selected
out of hundreds and hundreds of
applications.

Dan Pink agreed and he selected me!
Most Surprising?
Creativity Across Cultures
By tapping into different cultures,
our team magnified our toolbox
of knowledge.

I worked with teammates from
The Netherlands, Russia, United
States, India, Romania, and Africa.

Did you know that when you use
all capitals in a sentence or
heading in the U.S. it is
considered shouting; however, in
The Netherlands it is considered
cool?
What I can use daily?

Reframing
Are we asking the right questions?

I understand there is more than one
right answer for creating value.

I will always remember the multiple
ideas for reframing the value of bread.

The more we know the more resources
we can unlock.
Life is Precious
Increase Your Imagination!
