Magnify Your Mind!® Workshop — Creative Practices & The Private Eye®

— Looking & Thinking by Analogy

 

…where Professional Development is Professional Inspiration

 

What’s this workshop about?

- Paying attention. - Seeing the world fresh, beyond stereotypes and clichés. - Writing, drawing, thinking outside the banana.                     - Making creative breakthroughs that ignite innovation. - Discovering the planet of “No wrong answer”. - Falling in love with the world—enough to bother to save it.

 

What will you do?

Experience the drama and wonder of looking closely at the world, thinking by analogy, changing scale, and hypothesizing, inventing, and designing.

 

Why you should take it?

Make yourself laugh? Make others laugh? Learn how to cry yourself an ocean and build a boat to get you safely to shore? Build self-esteem and team-esteem?

See, again, with the bright eyes of a child? Velcro yourself to the nature of learning, growing, inventing, and yes, loving? All that, and more.

Who is it for?

Students, professors, professionals, doctors, lawyers, carpenters and cooks, plus your grandmother, your brother, your business partner, and most of all, you.

 

What’ll you walk away with?

A tool and a mindset that reengages the sense of wonder.

A rocket booster for invention.

An oil can for the brain.

A way to build the habits of mind for success in school and in life.
