Gifted education has a long and rich history of championing creative productivity in our students. Yet, many of our gifted students have become stymied by a fear of failure and the proverbial creative block. To overcome these mental roadblocks, this session explores core principles that today’s most innovative businesses and industries are utilizing to overcome the unseen forces that stand in the way of true inspiration and provides practical examples of how we can implement these principles into our gifted programs.
Our co-founder Laurence McCahill spoke about how a near death experience gave him the energy and purpose to make a positive dent in the world (and help others to make theirs). CityCamp is an unconference aimed at creating a better life for people of all walks of life in Brighton.

Awesome Quotes from Creativity Inc—Inspirational Quotes from Ed CatmullRob Marsh
21 Inspirational quotes from Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull, founder of Pixar Studios. These quotes come from what is perhaps the best book about managing creative people and companies.
Volunteering 2.0 (new ways of giving in the «2.0» Era)Massimo Cardaci
The modern culture leads us to optimize and fill every moment. This reduces the opportunities to "give": even donating 30' to others requires a couple of consecutive hours: for many of us is prohibitive.
But people are willing to «give».
Here a different way to "donate", reusing the little drops of time that we tend to waste because they appear fragmented and occasional.
A different way of organising our time,where we do not limit our analysis to the "Who", "How" and "When", and look at the most important question beside Time Management:"Why?".
Innovation involves thinking differently, creatively and insightfully to create solutions that have an impact in terms of social and economic value.
National Innovation Council (NInC) was setup under the Chairmanship of Mr. Sam Pitroda, Adviser to the PM on PIII to discuss, to analyse and help implement strategies for inclusive innovation in India and prepare a Roadmap for Innovation 2010-2020. NInC would be the first step in creating a crosscutting system which will provide mutually reinforcing policies, recommendations and methodologies to implement and boost innovation performance in the country.
This book highlights some of the key initiatives that NInC has taken in last four years to promote innovations in the country.
Finding Your Mustache: how to win in a clean shaven worldJeph Maystruck
To some it up:
Our world has changed. It's not Facebook and Twitter that are causing a revolution, it's instant communication.
We're getting smarter(the Flynn Effect) and we ignore more and more. In a world of instant communication and gratification we can't acquire the one asset that is truly the most important, their attention.
To grab their attention you're going to need a mustache, a super power, an it factor, a competitive advantage, SOMEthing that's going to make people remember you.
In closing I've included two of my favourite Ted talks and some advice. Hope you enjoy!

I gave this talk at the XP2012 conference. For the past two years, I've tried to go to universities to teach Agile practices during my spare time.
I give tips and tricks, and try to inspire others to take a bit of their time to go to universities and help grow the next generation of Agilists.

ART DESCRIPTION/SYNOPSIS:
Creativity is no longer a luxury. It is a critical survival skill that we need to adapt to rapid changes, solve complex problems, imagine new possibilities, and navigate uncharted waters ahead of us. In this lecture, we learn and practice creativity through a workshop titled "Improvised Lives".
Improvised lives are lives defined by a sense of adventure, curiosity, exploration, and spontaneity. Improvised living requires a playful mode of continuous learning, intense curiosity, embracing chaos and uncertainty, thinking and problem solving beyond borders, experimenting and making mistakes, and acting as an entrepreneur. In this workshop, you have opportunities to experiment with automated writing, doodling, drawing, ideating, imagining, and creating techniques.
In addition, we have about 20 mini-puzzles to solve. We cover a wide range of topics ranging from Oscars to celebrities, from vulnerability to humor, and from wellness to fashion. Finally, we have a mini-workshop on future generations (Alpha generation in particular), explore the biggest challenge facing them (climate emergency), and discuss the number one mental problem plaguing youth of today (climate anxiety). After we give a nod to Greta Thunberg, we turn to another futurist and visionary who has set one of the most challenging and ambitious goals for himself: Elon Musk aspires to send 1 million people to Mars by 2050. We finish the lecture with a mini-workshop on "Life and Employability on Mars", where we learn surprising facts about this red planet, including the fact that creativity indeed will be a surviving skill on this planet.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

3. “…then when you hit puberty they take the
