Kuala Lumpur: WACE: Master Class by Prof. Max Oliva: Spark Your Creativity! 
Presented by Columbia Business School's Alumni Club of Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with Alumni Relations
Tuesday, September 24th, 2018, 7 PM- 9 PM
DOJO Kuala Lumpur: Menara Amplewest, Level 1, 6 Jalan P Ramlee,  Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We’ve been led to believe that we’re less creative than what we actually are. We also know that most of us reduce our creative confidence as we grow older, given our fear of failure, fear of judgement or lack of emotional safety, to name a few. Instead of going over whose creative and who's not, in this workshop we will focus on how we can enhance the sparks that enable creativity's inputs to flow in a team, while reducing our blocks, thus allowing for more outputs to come to life. Creative confidence is a movement that needs fostering in order to create new solutions to the problems and challenges that the world so desperately needs.

The Worldwide Alumni Club Event (WACE) series is a celebration of Columbia Business School’s diverse and dynamic global community. If you are a Columbia Business School graduate, or a current or admitted student, you will not want to miss this outstanding annual event.
