"Finally a business book about seeing the extraordinary possibilities in every single situation . . .. Quantum Creativity is refreshing, not boring us with yet another round of the newest things we can do to plan or manage or lead our business better. Rather than advising us on what to do, Pamela Meyer reminds us how we can be." "What lies dormant within every human being is the power of their own creative spirit . . .. What better time than now for it to be rediscovered, dusted off, and allowed to reignite the workplace." -- Holly Shulman, VP Creative Director, Fankel & Co. "For all of us who fall prey to living in the dismal ruts of routine and the boringly safe, this thought-provoking book whacks our thinking and challenges us to blast apart those learned blocks to lead a more abundant, joyful, creative life! Be prepared to listen to your essence and to play, discover, trust, and grow." -- Barbara Glanz, author, C.A.R.E. Packages for the Workplace and The Creative Communicator Pamela Meyer works with organizations that want innovative solutions and teams that need to jump-start creative collaboration. Her clients have included Lucent Technologies, American Airlines, and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. She draws on her years of experience in improvisational theatre to present dynamic seminars and keynotes around the country.

Thought-Provoking, Well-Organized
| Customer Rating: | | Creativity is so important, readers are offered a wide range of books on the topic. This one has several advantages that make it worth the investment of your time and money. While it contains a lot of information, insight, and inspiration, this is not a long book that makes the acquisition of knowledge a laborious process. Less than 200 pages-tight and comfortable. The text is highly readable-nicely designed and easy on the eyes. The subject matter is well organized. Meyer offers nine principles, each succinctly presented in its own discreet chapter. The chapters are all presented in the same format, making it even easier for the reader to grasp the concepts. The principle is presented, followed by a section on Learned Blocks-the things that get in our way of applying the particular principle of creativity. The third section of each chapter is Doing Things Differently-how to get out of your own way and gain the greatest benefit from application of the learning. The language of the book is appropriate for smooth movement through the material. I didn't encounter stumbling blocks of words, phrases, or explanations that forced me to puzzle out what the author was saying. There's a sort of conversational tone, enriched by the author's personal anecdotes and illustrative stories about others' experiences with her creativity principles. The book closes with a valuable bibliography. No index-not needed. The author's background is broad and significant for the reader. She practices what she preaches as a consultant, professional speaker, and university instructor. Her background in improvisational theatre contributes to her expression of creativity in ways readers "get it." |
It was only a mission statement...(thank you Cameron Crowe)

Get the heck out of your box!
| Customer Rating: | | Ask anyone you work with today and they'll tell you they're working faster, keeping longer hours, have more goals and have less time and enthusiasm about their job. After reading this book, I'm convinced that by calling on my internal creative resources, I can overcome any business obstacle. What Pamela Meyer has done is written a terrific, easy-to-follow and more importantly, easy-to-apply book which helps us all get ourselves out of that box which says, tried it before, won't work, can't do it, or as Pamela puts it...the "YEAH BUT" syndrome. In business today, it's easy to throw up creativity roadblocks and give way to nay-sayers, in fact it happens several times per day. With Quantum Creativity, readers are given essential tools to combat yeah butters and convert them to "YES AND'ers" Pamela's book is so practical! Put it in your brief case and read the principle(s) that applies to you before you walk into any business, heck, any situation. This book tells you what successful people are doing to make shifts in the mind sets of co-workers who are standing in the way of progress. This book helps the reader understand how powerful creativty is without any techno jargan. Thanks Pamela for sharing Quantum Creativity with us all! |
