TUE 12/19/23, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm

IN-PERSON at Innovate New Albany, 8000 Walton Pkwy, Suite 200, New Albany, OH 43054

Be ready to interact with our presenter, Chad Willett, and fellow participants.

Please arrive at 11:30 am.

Eat lunch. Mingle. Make new friends.

“Smash the Box” is an immersive experience where audiences will learn about the “4 Walls of the Mental Box” and the 4 “Smash the Box” techniques needed to unleash innovation.

The “4 Walls of the Mental Box” that keep us boxed-in are “Fear, Perfection, Negativity, and Judgment.”

In contrast, the 4 “Smash the Box” techniques will allow audience members to break out of the box by breaking patterns, routines, and closed mindsets.

Are you ready to not only think outside the box, but SMASH it?
