Such accomplishment is only possible with leadership and patience.

Strategic mindset

Great inside on how to generate the ideas without judgement was interesting.

Resolving Issues

As a group, my team works very well with one another. Should an issue arise, we all discuss the reasoning behind how we feel and the Campus President with come up with a decision that takes everyones opinion into consideration.

Idea Generation

I liked this tutorial because it gave several different ways of coming up with ideas using different creative processes.  I feel like I sometimes get stuck in the same old rut of following other peoples outlines or ideas rather than coming up with my own.  I need to trust in myself to dig deeper and tap into the creative resources that I know I have.
