   POET is the place where people can learn to think "outside the box" as they work on real-time challenges and opportunities that they bring to the workshop. During two involving and often life-changing days, people apply the principles and practices of creativity as they clarify issues, invent novel ideas and develop them into new useful solutions.

   POET is a principle based experience. That means people learn more than tools and techniques. They learn why different strategies work and how to apply them on the job every day.

   Boundary Breaking Thinking for the 21st Century…
   We believe that boundary breaking thinking combined with a market driven mind-set are the two distinguishing characteristics of the people and companies that will thrive in the 21st century. We've put our decades of experience gathered during more than 8,000 hours of classroom time working with thousands of the brightest people in corporate America into POET.

   POET's principle-based approach is designed to teach creative thinking skills and make them easy to remember and practice. And best of all, the program has a proven track record-many participants rate it as the best they have ever attended.

   "Absolutely Great! The best workshop I've taken (and I've taken many) …has helped me make a personal leap. I loved the many techniques. Very effective with something to reach everybody. My only wish is for an automatic follow-up."

   POET Has A Proven Track Record…
   At POET you will work closely with Ted Coulson and Alison Strickland, co-founders of Applied Creativity. Since 1981 they have worked together focusing their attention exclusively on teaching creativity and helping people effectively manage innovation. During that time they have become recognized as the most effective male/female training team in the creativity field.

   Here's what participants have said about their work:

   "POET exceeded my every Expectation!! Inquiries and challenges to the process were dealt with professionally and with elegant simplicity. You have a wonderful process. You both know what needs to be done, how to get it done and why it is effective."

   "Alison and Ted are very likable and disarming. They are fascinating people and I know we have just hit the surface of what they can teach."

   "…quality of instruction was some of the best I've ever seen."
