I have to admit, I was impressed with the message, visuals and authenticity. It was fun to watch!

We were so thrilled to find this piece and see proof that our teachers are igniting passion within their classrooms. Keep up the great work – we truly do look forward to seeing more profiles turned public and shared across the web!

Look how he finished his basement! His story is spreading across the world thanks to social networks, Twitter and the like. Check out the link to see a 360 degree shot of the room. It is amazing.

The next time you think about presenting your ideas, be it a school project, proposal or oral presentation, go beyond the research and facts you present. If you take the time to creatively sell the concept, your audience will take note and get all the more excited about your recommendations. Why is that?

When something catches your attention visually or through your imagination, the underlying proposal or idea behind the creativity simply resonates more.  I have walked away from some great presentations really fired up because someone took the time to educate and entertain me. Interestingly enough, I discovered this Vancouver based company exclusively focused on creativity at work.  They help business people through arts-based training, coaching and research-based consulting.

Keep this in mind as you think about your school projects and the content you build for your online profile. Creativity sells!
