How Can You Foster More Creativity and Imagination in Your Organization?

How Can You Build an Authentic Workplace Culture That Doesn’t Look Weird?
Before there was weird, there was the Old English term WYRD — which spoke to a person’s power to control their own destiny in wonderful ways. We’ll dig into that connotation, use it to help your audience remember their uniqueness, and offer transformative ways to apply it into their work and personal lives.
How can You Cultivate Generosity, Collaboration, and Leadership Throughout Your Organizational Culture?
