Julie Harris: Rewiring Innovation One Mind at a Time
At the 2024 Design Thinking Conference, Julie will present her latest session: “Hack Your Head: Rewiring Your Creative Circuit Board”, a 90-minute electrifying deep-dive into human innovation. Expect an immersive experience where participants break free from routine thinking patterns, challenge their assumptions, and fine-tune their gut instincts to think different and act slow (yep!). This hands-on session promises to leave you recharged, with a toolkit of brain-hacking techniques to push your empathic limits.
