Andrea Reynolds, author and entrepreneur, believes each of us has the potential to be more creative and critical thinkers if we will allow ourselves to see life in a different way, associate with people who support our creativity, and cultivate a nurturing environment.
In her 3-hour workshops she challenges her students with "brain aerobics" such as zigzag thinking, hurricane thinking, six-hat thinking, and ghost thinking. In this booklet, she shows us how the use of each can result in success: solving problems, discovering new options, and creating new businesses or products.
In this 22-page e-booklet, distilled from her lectures, Andrea identifies the factors which inhibit our creativity and the fertile environments that can stimulate creative thinking.
