She then places it back in your cranium. Her enthusiasm is very contagious – you want to go out and put her ‘magic’ into practice. This is what she does best, this ‘magic’ is her trademark. This ‘magic’ is a deep understanding of how the human brain works, how to provoke creativity, fight destructivity and fear, spark innovation and teach you how to make your brain work the way it is intended.” – Sidney de Koning, CEO, Mannetje de Koning — “Denise has coached me on numerous occasions, helping me through some difficult patches in my own creative development. She has the amazing ability to see to the heart of the matter and then show that heart to you, helping you to find your creative direction. For me, I was stuck in a creative rut. I knew what I really wanted to be doing, but didn’t feel I could stretch myself and still make a living. Denise, coached me through to see that I could pursue my creative passions and be successful at the same time.” – Jason Cranford Teague, web designer and author — “Thank you Denise Jacobs for thoughts on the inner critic, "satisficing" design, "done is beautiful," and the powerful superhero pose!” – SustainableDesigner, @cjkDesigner About the Author: Denise Jacobs is a speaker, author and Creativity Evangelist who keynotes conferences and consults with tech companies worldwide.
