Presented by Bainbridge Graduate Institute, Pursue Balance and the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. Taught by Gifford Pinchot III, President and Co-Founder of Bainbridge Graduate Institute.
This interactive seminar is based on a course within Bainbridge Graduate Institute’s MBA in Sustainable Business program called “Creativity and Right Livelihood.” Focusing on the principles and practices of creativity, the seminar will explore:- how to translate personal values into career and vocation
- individual and group creativity
- how to generate new business ideas
“Everyone has the potential to be highly creative. First of all, attitude plays a big role; believing you are creative helps a lot. Second, creative thinking is a learnable skill. And this matters because we cannot build a sustainable world without a lot of creativity. Join the fun of building a better world,” says Gifford Pinchot. Mr. Pinchot is co-founder and president of the Bainbridge Graduate Institute, which offers an MBA that integrates environmental sustainability and social responsibility with innovation and profit. Mr. Pinchot is also a well-known author, speaker, and consultant on launching businesses and innovation management. He has helped to start over 700 businesses, several of which are each doing over a billion dollars in sales. In 2005, Executive Excellence Publishing listed Mr. Pinchot as number 19 in their Excellence 100 - The Top 100 Leadership Consultants. He has appeared on The Today Show and Larry King Live to discuss his approach to innovation.
