To remain successful, innovative organizations have to engage in a constant process of development—reinventing processes, products and services. In this gallery experience, follow Dali’s journey of artistic reinvention and learn how his experiences relate to the creative process and provide a template for reinvention activity. Discover how Dali’s works, processes and ideas can help us ignite our own creative powers and experience the power of doing things differently to achieve new and better results.

Polarity and the Attention Paradox (How to get better at anything) Pre-Conference Workshop
Wednesday, March 12, 2025 | 1:00 – 4:30pm
Ringling College of Art and Design
Larry R. Thompson Academic Building
Explore the paradox of two core states of being: the Experiencing Self, which loves to dive into the moment, and the Observing Self, which steps back to reflect on those moments. We’ll examine how these two states form The Attention Paradox and how you can use Polarity Thinking to manage their push and pull. Get hands-on with tools like polarity mapping, interactive exercises, and real-world examples. Learn how this paradox shows up in your life and work. Build on the pioneering insights of Ruth Noller, Daniel Kahneman, and David Kolb to examine the upsides and downsides of each state, learn the early warning signs of over-focusing on either one, and build practical strategies to stay in tune. Whether you want to enrich your personal growth, creative projects, or professional life, you’ll leave with a new approach to get the most out of your two paradoxical states of attention.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply the concept of the Attention Paradox and the interdependency between Experiencing and Observing.
  • Recognize early warning signs of over-focusing on your experiencing self and your observing self to help you manage the Attention Paradox.
  • Apply Polarity Thinking to manage the upsides and downsides of these paradoxical states in personal and professional scenarios.

$100 per person

Example of Workshop Description #1: Christine Alexander

Join Chris for a day of exploration through improvisation and theater games…no acting experience required! In this safe, small group setting, you will have opportunities to be both on the stage and in the audience. Through the experiences, discussion, and your reflections, you will find new insights into communication, relationships, and yourself. This is a wonderful opportunity to allow your inner voices to speak to you and to discover the possibilities that come from living in the NOW.

Example of Workshop Description #2: Jane Goldwasser

This is a workshop for people who have dreamed of starting a business, solving one of society’s great problems, or pursuing any dream that has remained elusive for years.

If you have such a dream, join Jane Goldwasser for a day-long opportunity to translate this wish into a detailed plan for action. Use Jane’s D.A.R.E. model – D. (Decide), A. (Analyze), R. (Reality Check), E. (Execute).
