Growth Is Closer Than You Think: Finding Untapped Creative Intelligence in Yourself and Others

Growth Is Closer Than You Think: Finding Untapped Creative Intelligence in Yourself and Others

The pressure to keep learning, adapting, and reinventing ourselves isn't letting up. For talent development professionals, that pressure comes from two directions: navigating change ourselves while helping others do the same.

People are exhausted. Yet, when familiar approaches stop producing the results we need, the response is often to add another tool, strategy, competency, or expectation. 

But, what if growth doesn't always require adding something new?

Creative Intelligence offers a refreshing alternative: an opportunity to expand how we approach challenges, work with others, and recognize possibilities we might otherwise overlook. 

In this interactive 90-minute workshop, executive and leadership coach Veronica Scarpellino invites you to experience a different approach to familiar workplace challenges, discover what makes it effective, and explore how to bring that experience to the people you support. 

Through reflection, discussion, and a practical workplace challenge, you'll gain a fresh perspective on growth and a simple, repeatable practice you can use with yourself, your teams, and your learners.

Come curious. Leave with more possibilities than you arrived with.

What to Expect

Through interactive exercises and discussion, participants will:

• Rethink growth: Challenge common assumptions about what it takes to grow, adapt, and navigate change in demanding workplace environments.
• Experience new possibilities: Apply a fresh perspective to a familiar workplace challenge and discover new options for moving forward.
• Bring it to others: Practice a simple, repeatable approach they can use immediately and explore how to create similar opportunities for the teams, leaders, and learners they support.
