Viral Storytelling with The Story Lady, Ronda Del Boccio

 Recently I found out about the Creative Problem Solving Institute and their annual conference that takes place in Pine Mountain, Georgia June 24-29.  The setting sounds absolutely delicious for a nature lover, with lots of trees and natural goodness everywhere.

Harry Vardis has asked me to submit a proposal and present there. Naturally, I’m considering it.  Very nice to be asked.  Thank you.  I love helping people free themselves from any perceived “block” and create freely and be freely.

Creativity is important.  It allows you to build your “funnel” or in other words your progression of products.  It empowers you to create buzz and also to jump on any news story that relates to your business so you can get media attention.  It allows you to enhance your brain fitness because you are using your brain!

Here are the keynoters:

Masters of Ceremonies: The Innovise Guys, Gregg Fraley and Doug Stevenson.  As hosts of the premier pod cast on creativity and innovation, The Innovise Guys will entertain, guide and treat participants to their insights on innovation throughout CPSI 2007!
