SARASOTA, Fla. (March 04, 2019) – Get inspired. Learn creative problem-solving. Or, perhaps, personal enrichment and happiness is more what you crave.
USF Sarasota-Manatee is hosting a variety of enrichment- and creativity-themed workshops with the return this month of the Florida Creativity Conference.
The much-anticipated annual symposium features professionals from the worlds of business, nonprofits, education, the arts, and health and wellness who study creativity and how it can transform lives, both personally and professionally.

Among the speakers are business branding expert Judy Winslow; mixed-media artist and creative life coach Sharon Burton; research scientist Dr. Charles Maniglia, who is developing pragmatic solutions to educational problems; and author Carol McCloud, whose books have sold more than 2.5 million copies, including her award-winning “Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids.”
Joining them will be Dr. Helene Robinson, the arts integration curriculum coordinator and a faculty member in the School of Education at USF Sarasota-Manatee.
The workshops are divided within five broad categories to appeal to people of different professions and life goals:

Entrepreneurs, business owners and corporate executives - CREATIVITY FOR COMMUNITY
Nonprofit executives, community builders, team organizers - CREATIVITY FOR EDUCATION
Educators, coaches and facilitators - CREATIVITY FOR ARTISTRY
