FEATURE STORY: BUSTING INNOVATION STEREOTYPES
Sarah Miller Caldicott
We’re excited to welcome guest contributor Sarah Miller Caldicott, great grandniece
of Thomas Edison and author of “Innovate Like Edison” to share her innovation ideas.
In this intriguing article, she blasts the stereotypes about innovation using colorful
examples, including TV ads from IBM’s “ideating” campaign and her own personal
research on best practices fostered by the man known as America’s greatest
innovator. If you ever wondered how to tease out your own skills and turn your
organization into an innovation center, Sarah’s tips and advice will inspire you and
help you chart your course. Read full article>>

NEWS: CREATE YOUR LIFE PLAN IN JUST ONE PAGE!
Denise Brosseau
Are you great at making to-do lists but not that great at thinking longer term? Do you
have a clear vision of your life and a plan for how to balance the often conflicting
goals of work, community, family, personal happiness, leaving a legacy?
Invent Your Future’s one day life planning seminar is just the solution you need to
get a jump start on planning your life beyond the next three weeks. We can help you
set a personal vision, clarify your objectives and set out quarterly action plans to
help you achieve your dreams ! Stop making excuses and get in on this fun,
interactive workshop where we use simple templates, fill in the blank forms and lots
of examples to help you walk away with a life plan all on one page at the end of just
one day. Learn more>>
NEWS: THE HOTTEST THING WE'VE SEEN: TURNING OUR
CONFERENCE INTO A STORYBOOK!
If you’re like us, there’s been more than one meeting where you’ve spent more time
doodling than taking notes. Thanks to the creative wizardry of Paula Hansen, we’ve
taken our conference to an entirely new dimension, and it’s a bit like Dilbert
meets DaVinci. See how—from right inside our session rooms—she interpreted each
speaker’s commentary and slides using a new concept called graphic facilitation.
Paula’s colorful large-scale visual charts turned our walls into storyboards with words
and pictures.
See how Paula transformed one session into a beautiful work of art
