How do breakthroughs happen?
Last week you learned about the 5 emotional stages of the creative process.
(Most of which are pretty fun.)
One stage is decidedly not fun. I call this stage “the Agony.”
Yet if you try to shortcut the Agony, you’re skipping the most critical stage of all– the stage where breakthroughs are born. (There’s a reason it’s called a “breakthrough.” You have to actually break through something.)
Want to create your own breakthroughs? In this slide presentation, I’ll show you…
- How to improve your creativity
- When to recognize you’re on the cusp of a breakthrough
- What to say in a meeting
