Ignite Your Creativity

by

Athena Katsaros, MBA, CPCC

Athena Katsaros

Creativity matters. This talk uncovers surprisingly simple techniques for everyone to tap into their greatest resource - their own creativity.  You will learn how to bring out ground breaking ideas, inspire inovative oblem-solving and encourage breakthrough thinking in yourself and others.

 

 

 

Athena is a co-founder of IdeaTribe (www.ideatribe.com) and a member of the faculty of The Coaches Training Institute. She is also on the faculty of the Artemis program at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Phoenix, Arizona. Athena holds a Bachelors degree in International Politics from UCLA and a Masters in International Business from the Monterey Institute of International Studies. She is a certified leader of Creativity in Business and a Certified Professional Coactive Coach.



 

 

 

 

 

 

These are challenging times for all of us, especially those of us who are business owners. Our speaker this month, Athena Katsaros, specializes in helping business people with creative and strategic thinking.  With her presentation, "Ignite Your Creativity," she will help us all access and take advantage of what she calls our greatest resource - our own creativity.

 

Athena's list of past clients is incredibly impressive: Microsoft, American Express and Kaiser Permanente, to name just a few. I am looking forward to this inspirational topic. What better time to be inspired and creative than the new year! I hope you will join me for our next meeting.
