    What makes us resilient? Many people I know are facing transitions in their lives and feeling enormously pressured. Sometimes pressure can freeze us into non-action, but that is a bit like treading water. It works temporarily, but if we don’t move forward, we sink. Tough times demand more creativity and if we are to thrive in change, we must learn to be resilient. http://bit.ly/d9aGC6

About Me

My work involves consulting, training and coaching, which I describe as corporate alchemy.

My focus is on developing creativity, collaboration, teamwork and leadership in organizations -- using principles and practices from business, art and design.

I coach emerging leaders, people making a career change, or managing a mid-life makeover. My coaching has been featured in the Globe and Mail. See http://www.creativityatwork.com/blog/life-and-business-coaching/

I am the co-author with Arthur VanGundy of Orchestrating Collaboration at Work: Using Music, Improv, Storytelling, and Other Arts to Improve Teamwork. Originally published by Wiley it is now available in PDF or paperback http://www.creativityatwork.com/CWStore/OCAWe-book.htm
