The news is filled with inspiring stories of people who are stepping up to help others. Whether it is our first responders working at their own risk, corporations retooling to make medical equipment cooperation, or private citizens making protective gear, there is something about a crisis that brings out the best in people.

How Creativity Works
When people feel emotion, it stimulates a response such as laughter, tears, or a gasp. Similarly, recent events are stimulating creativity. We are all learning how to get by with less access to our normal outlets for food, services, and personal interaction. How we manage is a function of the workarounds we create. On social, this is called a hack, such as making a face mask out of a bandana. We call this Harnessing the Magic. It is one of our core values that inspire our team to cultivate positive energy to propel original thinking that sources outcomes that go beyond our client’s expectations.
