This document appears to be a transcript from a talk on teaching creative confidence. It discusses concepts like creativity, analyzing personas and problems, and discovering solutions. The speaker talks about topics like where ideas come from, demons like insecurity that creative people face, and problems in the industry like lack of feedback. Solutions discussed include finding inner strength, embracing failure, and sharing work with others.
What constitutes engagement during an education program? What factors compete for the brain’s attention? How does the definition of engagement change based on group demographics? Bring your ideas and your questions to this interactive session where we will spark discussion with industry expert Kristi Casey Sanders and crowdsource leading-edge ideas on engaging attendees and helping them learn at meetings and events.
Learning objectives:
• Define engagement in an educational context.
• Understand how engaging the brain in different ways affects learning and memory.
• Identify ways to customize engagement to group demographics.
• Discuss possible new educational paradigms.
This session is worth 1 CMP-IS clock hour in Strategic Domain G: Meeting or Event Design.
Originally commissioned for 2015 ASAE Great Ideas Conference, Next Generation Learning Track. Meeting and event planners interested in attending can next catch this session at PYM LIVE Chicago on April 23, 2015: https://pymlivechicago2015.topi.com/.

The internet is overflowing with inspirational quotes about failure. If we don’t fail, we never grow. If we give up on ourselves, we give up on our dreams. There’s no shame in trying, there is only shame in quitting.
It’s clear those people have never worked in HR, where today’s talent-focused leader is atoning for the sins of the past. Although the old school personnel department no longer exists, executives and supervisors still perpetuate the myth that life would be perfect if it weren’t for the pesky HR departments built on rules and incompetence.
If failure is so critical to growth, how can HR leaders explore disruption while providing seamless, just-in-time service to their clients?
In this session, we will cover the universal forces of failure that impact every HR professional. We will also provide ten opportunities for HR leaders to exhibit significant value to the organization while being human and creating a safe space to experiment.
Mona Patel shares her top three lessons learned from founding and growing her UX agency Motivate Design. From hiring the right people to finding the right mentor, she shares stories and insights to the NYC UXPA community.

MW18 Workshop: Experiential Master Plans: Integrating Digital Experiences Int...MuseWeb Foundation
By Brad Baer, Bluecadet, USA
Gone are the days of beginning an experience at a gate or front door. Thanks to technology and interconnectivity we now interact with spaces and places in several different ways before we even arrive and in a much different manner on-site. Irregardless of whether you view this is for the best, it’s clearly here to stay and it means that we should migrate from creating Master Plans towards creating Experiential Master Plans.
Following this session, attendees will:
1. Be able to clearly explain the concept of an experiential master plan that considers the pre, during, and post-visit experience.
2. Have a better idea of how websites, apps, touchscreens, and interactive environments can be integrated into the built environment to improve the overall experience for a diverse audience
3. Learn how to interface with digital agencies and evaluate when and how dynamic interfaces should be integrated into a space.

Data Creativity, comment interpréter les tendances consommateurs grâce au Dat...La Cuisine du Web
Je vous propose un retour d’expériences sur la détection des tendances consommateurs sur le marché du food.
Où trouver et comment interpréter les données récoltées sur le web et l’ensemble des réseaux sociaux ?
Quels sont les outils qui permettent de recueillir des données comportementales, relationnelles, déclaratives et transactionnelles ?
Comment les études, le contenu utilisateur, la Data Google et le Social Media Monitoring permettent de définir des personae type ?
Quelles interprétations et quelles clés de lecture de ses données pour comprendre les usages consommateurs d’aujourd’hui ?
Our communications history is dominated by fixed networks of bounded linear predictability. These were based on precise engineering design giving assured information security, and measured operation. However, mobile devices, internet, social networks, IP, and Apps changed all that! Internets are inherently non-linear, unbounded, and essentially designoid — that is, mostly shaped by evolution, steered by demand/rapid innovation - highly adaptive and ‘learning’ in real time.
So, those who suppose we can control such networks to fully guard and protect the information of institutions and individuals are sadly mistaken. And further confounded by Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT). Here, a mix of the information of individuals and things, is distributed across the planet on a scale far larger than ever conceived in the past, to become essential components in the survival of our species in realising sustainable societies.
Not surprising then, Privacy and Data protection are big issues for regulators, governments and civil liberties organisations. But so far, nothing has worked, and we see the UK Data Protection Act, EU-GDPR, EU-USA Shield, and Copyright Laws often ignored or worked around. These are largely derivatives of a paper based world and a pre-computing world are now largely unfit for purpose.
Entrepreneurial Goals & Strategy with Angela CordellAngela Cordell
Successful entrepreneurs may start with a great product or service idea, but without clarifying your concept and setting measurable goals, your dream of owning a thriving business will remain a dream.
People are tired of talking heads, being told what and how to do things. We have access to information, what we need is the opportunity to make sense of our experiences, to converse, to connect and to create together. In the experience economy, every time we meet face to face is a wonderful opportunity to be delighted by discovering something new for ourselves. If you are a Manager, a Trainer, Consultant, Event Manager - knowing how to design so that people experience creating and discovering new knowledge is imperative for engagement and innovation.

Session slides from a session at ATD Core 4, September 29 in New Orleans. Session description: Delivering engaging e-learning is about more than dressing up text bullets on a PowerPoint slide. How can we design online learning experiences that actually make a difference in sharing knowledge, building skills, and ultimately improving performance? In this session, we’ll investigate the many types of e-learning, check out some key principles of good design, look at loads of examples, and talk about what to avoid in e-learning.
Ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά πλέον soft skills που πρέπει να έχει κάθε designer είναι να μπορεί να σκεφτεται συστημικά (systemic thinking) αλλά και να έχει πάντα στο μυαλό του όσο σχεδιάζει τον παράγοντα του scale, πως δηλαδή το κάθε project έχει σχεδιαστεί με τρόπο που να μπορεί να αναπτυχθεί και να μεγαλώσει με τον καλύτερο δυνατό τρόπο. Λόγω αυτής της ζήτησης εργαλεία όπως το Figma στοχεύουν στο να κάνουν αυτή τη διαδικασία πιο εύκολη.
Σε αυτήν την παρουσίαση θα δούμε πως μπορούμε να αναπτύξουμε αυτό το mindset στα επόμενα project που πρόκειται να αναλάβουμε αλλά και να μεταφέρουμε αυτή τη νοοτροπία και στην υπόλοιπη ομάδα ή στην εταιρεία στην οποία δουλεύουμε.
Καθώς η ανάπτυξη της τεχνολογίας και ο καταιγισμός πληροφοριών αναδιαμορφώνει την κοινωνία στην οποία ζούμε, οι σχεδιαστές πρέπει να θέτουν νέους κανόνες και να τοποθετούν την ανθρώπινη εμπειρία στο επίκεντρο της εργασίας τους. Ποιά είναι λοιπόν τα ηθικά ζητήματα τα οποία προκύπτουν αλλά και οι ευκαιρίες που ανοίγονται μπροστά μας;

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask
creative people how they did something, they feel a
little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just
saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a
while. That's because they were able to connect
experiences they've had and synthesize new things .”

THE CREATIVE
PROCESS
ILLUSTRATED
11. “For me, the process begins with just
filling my head with stuff. Devouring
media, soaking up the world around
me—words and images and music and
life.
Not because I have a particular
assignment that I need them for, but
just because I enjoy it.
Then, when I sit down to think about
ideas for a client, I’ve got all this stuff
bubbling around in my head. There’s all
this stimuli in there for my thoughts to
bounce around on.”
CHRIS ADAMS
12. “Ideas just kind of happen for me.
Great ideas are already out there, you
just have to find them.
So I just spew and spew thoughts, write
them down, and then the trick is figuring
out which ones are any good..”
DAVID BALDWIN
13. “Ideas come in different sizes. Those
big ideas are good ones because they
hold the greatest potential to solve big
problems.
The search for the best idea among
myriad possibilities is a journey
creatives must be willing to make.”
DUSTIN BALLARD
14. “The part I love in the process is when
you crack the idea and suddenly all of
the possibilities come flooding forward,
unfolding, growing. It’s like a mental
orgasm mixed with a sense of relief.”
ROSS CHOWLES
15. “Ideas do not come out of thin air.
Ideas only come out of combining
other ideas. So the secret to coming up
with ideas is to learn about lots of
stuff.”
TOM CHRISTMANN
16. “I like to do my thinking in stimulating
places, not my office.
I like having motion, distractions and
things to look at to spur on thought
fragments.”
IAN COHEN
17. “The truth is that ideas don’t come to
me. The cheeky little bastards always
make me come to them.
Sometimes they’re hiding under the
stairs. Occasionally, they’re on a short
vacation to Wisconsin. Often they’re
hanging out at the neighbors’.
But… I’ve found they’re rarely where I
look. To paraphrase John Lennon:
‘Ideas are what happen when you’re
busy thinking other things.’”

days. Sometimes it’s a couple of
weeks. But in the end, the result is the
same—a good idea.”

THE HABIT
You need to fuel your curiosity and add it on your
daily agenda.
You have to make Creativity your daily habit !
29. “But the beauty of these things is that
they are just that: blank slates. Chances
for originality. Chances to create
movements. Opportunities to make a
difference. Opportunities to fail.
For me, the process of creativity is
messy, chaotic and disorganized.”
