Learn about your personal creative style, exercise your “creative muscles,” and collaborate with others on challenges that will stretch your brain—and your understanding of how to bring about more creativity, productivity and well-being in your life and your work.  Adam Shames, the founder and principal of the Kreativity Network (www.kreativity.net), will fully engage both your left and right brains with this interactive creativity session.

On June 23 (Oak Brook) and June 24 (Harris Bank downtown) Adam will share—and have you experience your own—insights into how to foster individual creativity and how to most effectively harness the creative power of teams.  He'll review some key research findings related to creativity, including Multiple Intelligence Theory (Howard Gardner), Flow (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi), and FourSight™, the Breakthrough Thinking Profile, an assessment tool based on Creative Problem Solving research.

SPECIAL OFFER:  Members who plan to come to the meeting have an opportunity to take FourSight, the Breakthrough Thinking Profile, in advance, for free.  The FourSight assessment, previously known as the Buffalo Creative Process Inventory, is based on 50 years of research and measures creative problem-solving styles. 

E-mail Adam ahead of time at adam@kreativity.net (or call 773-334-3811), provide your name, email address, phone number, and the meeting location where you will attend, and he will send you a link to take FourSight (should take less than 15 minutes) before the June meeting.  He’ll bring your results to the meeting and he’ll also provide a 20-page booklet for each attendee (which is the complete $18 package, for free!).

Adam Shames, M.A., serves as a creative catalyst for companies, organizations, schools and individuals.  He has guided hundreds of groups through the teambuilding and creative process since founding the Kreativity Network (originally based in San Francisco) more than a decade ago.  A creativity expert, dynamic speaker, FourSight certified trainer, diversity facilitator, writer, musician, coach and organizational development consultant with SynerChange Chicago, Adam’s clients have included Sprint, The Promotion Network, Chicago Public Schools and McKessonHBOC.  He is also a former “Teacher of the Year” with a master’s degree in education from Stanford University.  For more information and testimonials, see www.kreativity.net.
