Join Jim Bergquist, noted creativity coach to Seattle’s famed Pike Street Market, for insights on how to create a workplace where everyone chooses to bring energy, passion and a positive attitude with them each day, an environment in which people are truly connected to their work, colleagues, and customers. Sound impossible? Not at all.

Jim will describe how to create a vision of power and possibility, the key to generating an environment that allows people to be creative, even when things seem to be going wrong.

From this new vision comes a new way of seeing people as creative beings. Seeing people not as production units, but as powerful, creative beings, capable of great performances. You work with people at the level of who they truly are, with respect and appreciation, and not as mechanical creatures who can be manipulated through “motivation.” You learn to discover inspires them, what moves them, what they’re naturally committed to. You coach them and allow them to coach you. Everyone is learning and the results go through the roof, off the charts – literally, you have to make your charts and graphs much bigger. When you empower people to be creative at work, the whole organization moves to another dimension–it generates a whole new order of productivity.
