On today’s episode we are going to talk about creative blocks. Creative blocks are those things that inhibit creativity and squish that creativity out of you. But first I want to share with you some awesomeness in the form of an iTunes review. This is an iTunes review from 88CHRISH and the title is “Excellent” 5 stars. 88CHRISH says, “This podcast is fantastic. I’ve been listening to it on my commute and I find it educational enjoyable and even fun. Amy knows her stuff and teaches it in an easy to understand way full of examples and stories while always being sure in time history and data. Her guest speakers are wonderful as well. I’ve been doing work with teams for years so while some of the information is not new to me, how she is presenting it and then the connection she’s making between creativity, team dynamics and skill development is new. Her style is down to earth and she shows a clear passion for her work that she wants to share with everyone. She’s humble and funny and her enthusiasm is contagious.” 88CHRISH, thank you so much. That is so awesome. So kind of you. If you are listening and haven’t written a review, I’d love to get a review from you on iTunes.
