Most leaders, managers, and staff utilize less than 50% of their creative and intuitive ability. This is not because of inherent limitations, but because of unawareness of how to incorporate these relatively simple practices utilizing visualization, the sleep state, subliminal perception, the integrated model of the brain, and other leading-edge creativity concepts into their daily job performance.
This presentation shares a wide variety of techniques, methods, and experiential processes for the participants to choose from in order to harness the amazing power of creativity and innovation in the workplace. It also provides the opportunity for participants to go beyond linear business and managerial problem-solving and to master this skill in a way that it becomes a regular part of their day-to-day operation. We will also discuss how participants can promote a more creative work environment among their co-workers.

At first, working remotely can seem like a dream come true… no commute, no cubicles, and no rigid schedule. But without the right mindset, structure and habits, the dream of working at home—whether as an employee or an entrepreneur—can turn into a storm cloud of: Guilt when you’re home but not working. Overwhelm when you don’t know how to focus or organize yourself. And frustration when you feel like you should be getting more done, but you’re not sure how. 
The cloud is the hottest topic since the advent of the Internet. Drawing on his latest e-book, Cloud Surfing, Tom Koulopoulos paints a powerful picture of how the cloud will change the way we live, work, and play.

The way we communicate is often in direct conflict with what science now knows about the brain. For example, recent neuroscience research shows that the brain is less rational than we believed, tires much faster than we ever dreamed, and loves to make connections with other people and other information. Rather than fight how the brain works, switch how you communicate. Adopt these seven tips to make it easier for people to understand what you’re saying and asking. Plus, you’ll be able to improve your own creativity and productivity by taking actions that help, rather than hinder, your own brain.

Research shows that employee engagement is highly correlated with business success, individual achievement, and better health, but only about 30% of employees are truly engaged. Companies like Google provide organizational models that demonstrate how broader engagement is not only possible, but leads to company-wide success. But why can't we all be engaged?
Do you hear agile makes your teams deliver faster? Has someone called on you to “make us agile” and get it done? Do you hear Scrum, XP, Kanban, Lean and wonder if and how you could apply those to your product development efforts? Last year was the 10th anniversary of the Agile Manifesto, a compilation of themes that communicated the framework for Agile development, and in that time the number of teams developing in an Agile has skyrocketed and it is no longer considered fringe.
