Monday Morning Speaker: Michelle James

Creative thinking is no longer an option - it is essential to help us meet the demands of rapidly changing times in new, effective and time saving ways. In this informative and highly experiential session, you will learn the core principles of creative thinking and how to bring your whole-brain to work - using new ways to meet old and new challenges. You will also learn a key method to change problem-thinking into opportunity-thinking, and you will have a chance to put creativity techniques into action around a real work/life situation. From problem solving to new vision creating, these are engaging practices you can apply to any situation.

BIO: Michelle James has been pioneering Applied Creativity and Applied Improvisation in business in the Washington, DC area for over 15 years. She is CEO of The Center for Creative Emergence  and founder of the Capitol Creativity Network. In 2009, she was recognized for Visionary Leadership in Fast Company’s blog, Leading Change, for “her commitment to bring creative expression into the work environment in a very deep and meaningful way.” Michelle is a business creativity catalyst, facilitator and coach who has designed and delivered hundreds of programs for entrepreneurs, leaders, and organizations such as Microsoft, Deloitte, Panasonic, GEICO, NIH, World Bank, Teach for America, Panasonic, and Kaiser Permanente among others. Her original programs have been featured on TV, the radio and in print.
