Description
How many times have you heard that certain people are just born creative, and other people aren't. This course debunks this misconception by showing you that creativity is a process with clearly defined steps, that you can learn and apply towards ANY project.
We share with you the latest brain science on creativity and show you how to work with the brain's natural creativity and thinking networks to optimize your own creativity. Whether you want to solve problems, create marketing campaigns, write a book, create music or art, the process and practical tips are the same.
If you think of yourself as creative already, this course will make you more efficient and productive with your creativity.
If you think of yourself as one of the NOT creative people, this class will show you that you are creative, and how to bring that creativity to fruition.

I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and decades of experience as a behavioral scientist, applying psychology to the design of digital products. I'm a consultant to Fortune 1000 companies, start-ups, and educational and government organizations.
A client once referred to me as "The Brain Lady", and it stuck. Probably because I like to teach and consult about brain science.
I'm currently the Founder and Principal of The Team W. I consult, coach, teach, and speak about behavioral science, brain science, psychology, design, innovation, and user experience. I've been lucky enough to travel around the world as a keynote speaker.
I am also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Wisconsin.
My clients include Disney, Amazon, The Mayo Clinic, Zappos, the Federal Trade Commission (USA), and the European Commission.
I like to write books, including: 100 Things Every Designer Needs To Know About People, How To Get People To Do Stuff, 100 Things Every Presenter Needs To Know About People, and Neuro Web Design: What makes them click? I blog at my own website and I blog for Psychology Today.
My work over the years has included the design of websites, software, medical devices, TV ads, physical devices, experiences, and physical spaces to make them persuasive, usable and motivating.
I live in Wisconsin, USA, with my husband. My two children are grown and “launched”. When not teaching, speaking, writing, or blogging, I perform in community theatre, sing jazz, read books, and I'm an avid movie watcher.
