Thinking creatively is natural during youth and not so much so as we age. Factors including group dynamics, the structure of formal education, peer critique, and fear of being scorned for thinking outside the norm – make it far more difficult to be creative in our approach toward opportunities and challenges. Bob Eckert is the CEO of New and Improved – a company dedicated to helping others work together, reinvigorate their creative energy, and in the process innovate towards new and improved ways of solving problems and creating those opportunities. Join CAFÉ Talks for a lively, reflective discussion with Bob Eckert about this creative process and how it might help individuals, businesses, teams, and schools address their challenges and set a course for a bright future.
