Everyday Creativity with DeWitt Jones

This session will involve viewing a video presentation called Everyday Creativity followed by a group discussion facilitated by Marilyn Schoeman Dow. Everyday Creativity is about looking at the ordinary and seeing the extraordinary. We are all faced with challenges at work and at home. How we view these challenges and devise their solutions can mean the difference between just getting by and being successful. The video, Everyday Creativity, hosted by internationally known photojournalist Dewitt Jones teaches us that we all have the ability to be more creative. Using inspirational stories, memorable locations and Jones' vivid photography, Everyday creativity will empower you to apply his simple, yet powerful creativity techniques to all aspect of your life.
