Florida Creativity Conference 2025

In this interactive session, we will explore how shifting perceptions can enhance creativity and even improve communication!  Through hands-on perception exercises, including optical illusions and word games, you'll engage your senses and rewire thinking patterns to see the world in fresh, innovative ways. You will gain practical skills in the dual solutions of perception-checking and empathy building.

Key Takeaways:
• Gain insight into how your brain takes charge without you even knowing it
• Understand a clear connection between the perception process, creativity, and communication
• Learn how to change your perceptions, open your mind, and enhance your creativity

In this session, we will explore how moving from the need to be right to embracing curiosity can foster deeper connection, even in disagreements. Through practical exercises and embodiment practices, you will learn how to shift your mindset, rekindle curiosity, and approach difficult conversations with openness and empathy. Participants will walk away with tangible tools to improve communication, build stronger relationships, and find connection in unexpected places.

Key Takeaways:

• Be inspired by the Power of Curiosity in Conflict: Participants will learn how shifting from the need to be right to embracing curiosity can transform difficult conversations into opportunities for deeper connection, even with those they disagree with.
• Gain skills to overcoming Barriers to Listening: Participants will explore common barriers to listening during hard conversations—such as the need for validation or protection—and practice skills to listen more effectively, even when the conversation is emotionally triggering.
• Learn practical Tools for Connection: Attendees will leave with actionable techniques—such as relaxing the body, asking reflective questions, and recognizing shared vision—to rekindle curiosity and improve communication in both personal and professional relationships.

We all experience creative blocks! Whether working on a blog post, a piece of art, or a client presentation, we sometimes freeze in front of a blank canvas (or an empty Google Slide). This sense of paralysis can lead to internal conflict, judgment, or shame—but it can also create a pathway to greater intimacy with ourselves. In this workshop, you will learn a unique step-by-step approach to turning creative blocks into opportunities for self-connection and growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn a step-by-step process to turn creative blocks into opportunities for self-knowledge and deeper self-expression.
• Practice identifying the assumptions and expectations that may be limiting your creativity.
• Explore the difference between emotions and perceptions, and practice recognizing the emotions that arise when feeling disconnected from your creativity—so you can transform them.
