There is a problem description we are all familiar with: What is Wrong with This Picture? But there is a variation on this that is even harder: What is Missing from This Picture? Everyone can look at a picture and notice that the umbrella is upside down. But few can look at a picture and decipher that there is no umbrella shown and there should be one, even if it is not raining! This is an example of the "We don't know what we don't know" problem, and no one knows whether what we don't know is important or trivial.
Enter the "two heads are better than one" solution. JoeBay U's Director of Creative Thinking specializes in listening. Listening to your situation, to your concerns, to your abilities, to your goals. Listening, then innovatively and imaginatively problem solving, is the most important task of our time. The right idea is often elusive and unusually hard to see by yourself (it it were so obvious, you'd be using it and not reading this).
When your situation requires some serious horsepower to get your mental or creative car out of the pit where nothing but sand is spitting out the back, burying your progress, take this course. You will come away not only with ideas, but with ways of creating ideas. You will come to see a light or two at the end of the tunnel, where before there were at best random flickers, or, worse, the fear that the light you see is the headlamp of an oncoming train. You'll have a direction, you'll have a goal.
