If your team is not producing, creating, or engaging, it’s time to ask the question, “Why Not?” It’s usually not the obvious, nor what you think. It’s the hidden repeating patterns of fears, excuses, and apologies that have infiltrated your organization, mission, and mindset, but no one is talking about them because they’re only showing up to do their job. Nothing more. Nothing less.

In this funny, yet informative, truth telling presentation, you will learn about a series of 6-steps to get everyone playing on the same page, and standing up in their power to own their brilliance and to tell fears, excuses, and apologies to take a hike so that productivity, collaboration, innovation, and creativity can take the lead.

In this session, you will:

• Discover how Generative AI can enhance creativity, leading to innovative solutions and new opportunities.
• Learn how to utilize Generative AI to improve performance and streamline workflows. 
• Understand the impact of Generative AI on the quality of products and services. 
• Gain strategies to empower individuals and organizations to become highly productive using Generative AI tools. 
• Explore real-world examples and case studies that demonstrate the benefits and applications of Generative AI.

This session is open to all members of the BGSU community, including undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, instructors, and staff, as well as members of the general public.
