 "  I love hearing people talk who can inspire and influence in “abstract” ways. She makes me “uncomfortable” in good ways."

"The speaker today broke boundaries and talked about things outside of my box and comfort level. I really enjoyed the different perspective. It was thought provoking and the ideas will stick with me. "

You feel out of control , and are aching to be more creative, more confident, and more energized.

I started teaching at a young age, like 10 years old.. young. ( well, it wasn’t official until I was 22) , but I was teaching lessons, grading papers, and making themed bulletin boards, so it felt pretty official to me and my neighbors. 

I created  Changing Minds because after getting my masters in creativity studies, and teaching high school art, I’ve noticed a large gap between the creative thinking that we were made to do, and what we actually do. 

Changing Minds is where I reawaken the creativity that you were born with, so that you can create the world that you dream of. 

"  The quest speaker was amazing! She really broadened my views of how to be a creative teacher and apply creativity to my lessons. The tasks that we did helped me see my own tendencies toward creativity and personality. "
