When you're asked
to "think out of the box", does it sound like a command to come up with
ideas out of thin air? Do you wonder, "What box?" Does your mind go

it!
In this

Alison Lester will show you the path to increased mental agility and
idea generation based on your own very specific experiences and
talents. The workshop will lead you toward a feeling of confidence in
your creative capacity, and will teach you how to develop an
environment for in your business, encouraging others to
express their thoughts and talents more freely as well.
Join Alison in
this encouraging, fun, learn-by-doing workshop that will help you to
tap into your creative instincts and develop your imagination. We're
all creative in our own special way, and when we figure out what that
way is, we can rise to so many more professional challenges than we
thought!
