“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?
