Smells Like Innovative Spirit: A Songwriting Mindset for Fearless Creation

Songwriters like Lady Gaga or John Lennon are universally recognized as innovators and music disruptors. Their persistent and risk-taking exposure of novel ideas sets them apart, embracing uncertainty as a prerequisite for lasting musical and business success. In this session, you immerse in the process of innovation-minded songwriting and learn to utilize artistic tools in your work environment.

In this workshop, presented by Dr. Johannes Flecker, participants learn to express and overcome roadblocks of innovation through the process of songwriting and musical storytelling. No music background required.

TAKEAWAYS
1) Understand innovation roadblocks by immersing into a music creator's perspective.
2) Reflect your own innovation performance by learning four stages of uncertainty in musical creation.
3) Express innovation challenges artistically.
4) Experience the cathartic effect of songwriting.
5) Utilize a songwriting toolset for brainstorming sessions.
6) Overcome fear of failure
