Creating Leaders & Impact
Introducing another fine creative problem solving (CPS) facilitator: Sandra Ghobrial, a fourth-year BBA Marketing student. Sandra is a skilled operator of the sticky notes, papers that appear at every facilitation–they just wouldn’t be CPS facilitations otherwise!
The recurring challenge in these sessions is to conceive ideas that haven’t yet been exposed, and Sandra is eager to make this happen. When she’s in charge, she works hard with her collaborators to follow the breadcrumbs that one average idea leaves on its way to a sweet discovery.
To Sandra, the biggest payoff is seeing her client have that ah-ha! moment. It’s rewarding revealing ideas to her clients that they had never thought of before.
See Sandra’s video to hear her take on things!
