I only have positive things to say about your workshop. I found it really inspiring as someone who doesn't feel that she is overly creative in her ways of thinking. Even in the short time we had with you, you challenged this way for me and I have been bringing more and more to the table at work and in my personal life every day because of a new 'can do' attitude.
