Making Magic: Insights on Creativity from the World of Magic
Get a peek behind the curtain at the magician’s creative process! You’ll witness world-class magic tricks that demonstrate how magicians use illusion to open up creative thinking in their audiences. You will also learn the creative power packed into the word, “Abracadabra,” and other useful insights from the symbolic meanings of magic.
Leadership Alchemy
Alchemy is the process of taking basic raw materials and creating something of greater value. The process is both scientific and spiritual. In this presentation, Transformational Magician Andrew Bennett introduces an innovative framework combining science and spirit to teach leadership practices that enable followers to be engaged, committed, creative, positive forces in your organization.
Alchemy also involves “burning away impurities” so you will be examining the illusions that get in the way of accessing your greatest leadership strengths.
Bennett combines his experience as a corporate leader, entrepreneur, leadership and organization development coach and consultant with world-class magic to create a unique experience that opens people to new ways of thinking and acting.
Two overall key purposes of this presentation:
- Transform your thinking to become a more powerful leader and create a more powerful organization.
– For decades we all have been admonished to “think outside the box,” but we’ve never been told how to do that. Simply telling us to think differently does not make it happen.
– In this presentation you will learn how to develop new ways of thinking and how to lead an organization that enables employees to access new ways of thinking.
2. Access the power of the spirit
– Clear away the limitations created by your ego and there is an essential “higher self” that has powerful wisdom and potential to create meaningful outcomes. This presentation will honor that inner greatness and discuss how we cultivate that essence in yourself as a leader, and in those who follow you.
