This is an exciting opportunity to experience interactive presentations, workshops and exhibitions. Please click here for the full schedule: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bananafactory.org\/invision-daily-schedule\/\">http:\/\/www.bananafactory.org\/invision-daily-schedule\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was able to attend a few of the \u00a0keynote sessions. The first session was \u201cThinking Differently: Waking Up Your Creative Self,\u201c led by Danielle Hepper. Danielle spoke about how children are creative, uninhibited, and \u00a0receive more praise and positive feedback. As adults, we have rules, guidelines, and obstacles that get in our way of being creative. We hear rejection and our active creativity is hindered. Danielle discussed the 5 Stages of Creativity that we can experience in detail.<\/p>\n<p>The 2nd session was called \u00a0\u201cBearing Witness\u201d by Carol Guzy, a four-time Pulitzer winner. Carol provided a retrospective journey with a discussion about the importance of empathy in visual storytelling. Her photos evoked many uncontrolled emotions with the audience today and easily captured their attention. She was very inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly I attended \u201cSocial Media for Creatives\u201d by Bekah Rusnock, @IGbethlehem. \u00a0She talked about how social media is the most powerful communication tool. Content, community, conversation are the key components and you have to balance all 3 if you want people to see you and interact with you.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it was a fun day that allowed me to find new ways to think differently about my creativity and how to better connect with and inspire others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner3023'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/' target=\"_blank\" data-id='3023' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner7036'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com' target=\"_blank\" data-id='7036' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?post_type=adverts_posts&p=7036\" class=\"read-more\">Click here to read more... <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51339,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[69,2316,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-valley","category-kimberly_kanuck","category-photography"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2017-INVISION.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51325"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/51339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
