A visually facilitated brainstorm session taps into the synergy of everyone in the room.  Examples, thoughts, ideas and concepts are drawn on a board at the front of the room to keep the creative thoughts flowing.

EXAMPLES:

1. One gentleman who had a stroke asked for brainstorming on how best to become independent in his own home.

2. Another had an invention and wanted brainstorming on raising the money to fulfill a giant order from a major retail outlet.

3. One woman wanted feedback on the title of her new book.

4. One woman wanted feedback regarding how get more time to herself while taking care of a sick loved one.

5. One woman I know is looking for a used dryer for a sick neighbor. She might ask where she could get one.

6. Still another woman asked for ideas on how to stay in touch with her new grandbabies as they grew up - in other states - so that she could still be a vital part of their life.

The list and reasons for drawing upon the synergy that is created by a room full of people is varied and unlimited.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Your turn on the hot seat. You have two minutes to present your question/problem or issue to the room.

The rest of the people will now spend 8-13 minutes brainstorming and throwing out ideas which you have the option of writing down. Don’t worry about making any decisions – you’re just collecting ideas right now. When you are home, you can review your list later.

Each person takes a turn. Because of the 8-15 minute limit on brainstorming, it is important to come prepared with your issue.

You are also welcome to come as a guest.  The ideas are flying around freely - bet you catch one! Naturally, you are always welcome to join in on the fun.  (Not everyone has a chance to be on the hot-seat - That's why its important to R.S.V.P.!)
