Overview

To innovate, we need to get creative. Together. In our era of rapid change and technological disruption, we're being called on to innovate like never before. The trouble is, simply demanding or encouraging innovation and collaboration doesn't work. Innovation doesn't just happen. It's the result of one of the most powerful and sustainable forces available to us: creativity. If you want innovation, you must activate creativity. And in the new world of work, going it alone won't work any longer. We have to get creative together. Drawing on his decades of experience as a coach, consultant, and organizational development expert, conscious creativity authority Steven Kowalski leads you on a three-part journey to reclaim your creativity and co-create with others. First, you will rewrite the story of who you are as a creator. Then, you will learn to adventure together with others-bringing your whole, creative self into a new way of working together. With stories drawn from real, lived experiences, research-backed insights, and powerful questions that will open you to new possibilities, you'll master Kowalski's GIFTED methodology to unlock your creativity, and tackle the biggest threat to conscious creativity-Creative Disruption Disorder. Despite what you may think, you have what it takes to embrace the new story, take accountability for your creative power, and create together within a world in flux. Once you claim your potential, there's no turning back. By participating in your life with conscious creativity, you will transform the landscape of your future. You will become anew, with a deep faith in your resilience and resourcefulness, and a future full of possibility for yourself-and for the companies, organizations, and causes whose mission you share.
