Joanne walks you through how to invoke creativity in moments of chaos and how to develop the traits of a creative leader. She teaches a creative problem-solving process, and shares the principles and strategies of sensemaking. Chaotic and surprising situations can feel totally out of control, but there are ways to maintain a positive mindset for yourself and your team. Take this course to get started learning them today.
