COMMUNITY: Breakfast for Champions Creative Workshop
This past weekend myself and some of the members of @mastermindconnect I had the pleasure of joining some of New York's brightest young people from #MBKFellows #NYCUrbanAmbassadors #NYCGreat of the NY Dept of Education programs for a panel discussion.I hosted a creative workshop in efforts to ignite their creative potential by defining their life "majors" and "minors" -- a concept originally coined by Translation, LLC founder @stevestoute.
I walked the students through a mind-mapping exercise designed to emphasize the need and value of diversifying their skill sets to be "multi-hyphenated" professionals by integrating their passions and hobbies into their career development.Following my workshop, I was joined by founder + creative director, @the_nichols of the @palettegrp where he taught the students how to position advertisements products. Students got 30-minutes to produce a TikTok ad for a product of their choice.
