The Brown Bag Committee Presents:

"10-Speed Thinking for Innovative Results"

Speaker: Paul Hellman, Founder, express potential®

Are you looking to solve a problem, advance an opportunity, or create an innovative fundraising solution? On October 3, you will be able to practice 10 ways to think–as well as several ways not to think–about a current challenge. In addition to gaining new ideas about your specific situation, you'll also learn practical techniques that you can apply to any situation. 

Join us for this interactive session and learn how to:

• Think in new and innovative ways
• Get more ideas—faster
• Balance detail with a big picture perspective
• Avoid false starts and wasted time by recognizing common thinking traps
• Make smarter business decisions
• Improve team thinking
• Let ideas incubate by deliberately not thinking about a problem
• Recharge your brainpower throughout the day

Don't delay; register now to advance a specific challenge, while learning, in general, how to be even smarter at work!
