Florida Creativity Conference 2025

Facilitating any kind of Workshop or Ideation Session begins well before you get everyone in a room full of easel paper and new markers. There’s an art to designing a great problem solving or innovation or clarify session. But there’s also science, or at least math, to piecing it all together and feeling confident that it will work.

Key Takeaways:

• Techniques for timing your session design
• Tips for staying on track
• And ways to cope when it all goes off the rails

There is a great deal of talk about keeping emotions out of the work place and being rational and concrete in solving problems on the job. But, In this session we are going to examine science and experiences that help us understand and apply our emotional brain to the process of problem solving and creativity. We share a simple but provocative model of how emotions and intellect work together to create the best possible creative results, and how to recognize and leverage that aspect of our brain's core function.

Key Takeaways:

• Recognize and describe the way the brain evokes and manages emotions;
• Reach an understanding of emotional responses to problems and challenges and how they affect our relationship to our own creative process;
• Apply emotional responses tool to creative challenges in specific ways that advance our problem solving and creative outcomes
