The Uniqueness of Bruce’s Approach
The core content of all of Bruce’s presentations embraces these five elements of the Renaissance Human model:
- Mindfulness
- Movement
- Nature
- Playfulness
- Artistic Expression
Through music, art, dance, photography, creative writing and other forms of creative expression that you enjoy, you will gain a powerful new foundation to become and stay creative through life.
Bruce Cryer knows the territory. Bruce has had an unusually varied career including senior management or CEO of several very successful businesses in the health and well-being arena, and being adjunct faculty at Stanford University for 20 years. But it took a series of life-threatening conditions, along with the passing of his mother and his wrenching decision to step down as CEO from the organization he helped to found, before his own “renaissance human” could be fully born.
You will learn:
- New skills to become more creative on demand
- How to refine talentsyou barely knew you had, or haven’t used in a long time
- To explore a new side of yourselfyou didn’t know existed
- To create a plan to keep creativity alive in your life for fun and fulfillment
There’s Science to This
Bruce will show you – through stories from his own business and creative life, and from cutting edge research on creativity and fulfillment from HeartMath and the world of Neuroscience – how to tap into your creativity like never before. He will share how his health, his entrepreneurial spirit and his heart all came alive the more he embraced creativity in every way he could. And how the same came happen for you.
Your own Da Vinci, conveniently located inside you.
Music, dance and meditation will all be involved! You’ll have fun tapping into the renaissance human inside you.
