Honoring the Creative Self
Kevin Fisher-Paulson
“Every breath we take changes us. Every word we utter changes the world.”
Embrace Creativity:
- Creativity is a marathon, not a sprint, and you have to train your body, spirit and mind how to run that long race. Kevin will give you a few exercises in which to build your creative muscles.
- Creativity relies on inspiration, perspiration and desperation. Kevin talks about how not to get in the way of that which can inspire you.
- Creativity requires a commitment to what you believe and the story you have to tell. Kevin will guide people to find their story, and to cherish it.
