  • It’s been nine months since the PR&D Management Team participated in [Creativity in Business]. The offsite helped get us out of ‘auto-pilot’, taught us how to prepare for change by trusting in our capacity to create and go beyond the easy answers to uncover unique and innovative solutions. I have seen significant leadership growth and confidence across the entire management team. I’m thrilled with the results, and the learning continues to live on.

  • Steven [Kowalski] is able to distill issues and concepts to their essence; and then present them to others in a way that is at once understandable and an invitation to think about how this applies to one’s own life circumstances. The fact that he is one of the most creative people I’ve ever met and is flexible yet thorough in his interactions with clients is just ‘icing on the cake’. Don’t miss the opportunity to work with him.
