MD, USUnlock CREATIVITY to discover your unique edge, think differently, and strengthen community engagement for unstoppable personal and professional growth
Creativity is the single most important skill in the world. Statistically, creativity polls as the highest and most desirable quality in a student or job candidate and is the number one factor for future success. According to the Gallup Survey on American Workplaces, only 35% of workers are given time to be creative at work a few times per year. People are struggling to invest time, money, or energy in creativity and the award winning artist and educator, Saz Ross, is currently breaking the habit.
Saz's expertise rests in providing creative breakthroughs with visual storytelling workshops and captivating keynotes on how everyone is creative. Most commonly, people are not inclined to view themselves as such, thus building barriers for innovative thinking. In response, Saz provides an impactful skillset for thinking differently by exposing techniques that allows one to feel confident and connected to a purpose that unearths an unstoppable creative edge.
Saz has been featured on TedEx, Voyage Magazine, Empowering Women in Industry, and on NBC News. After spending 10 plus years in the art classroom, Saz decided to venture out and build a thriving business in pen and ink illustration and creativity coaching. Along the way, Saz realized that she could use her artistry to help educators, creatives, and businesses take creative risks and STAND OUT to acquire personal and professional growth.
Saz uses her whimsical yet powerful artworks as a way to connect people to the concept of getting lost in creativity to be found in the eyes of confidence. She underscores vulnerability as vitality and storytelling as a vehicle for optimum engagement and community building. She helps others unearth the power of their creative mindset while providing a skillset to strengthen engagement, story-tell, and take bold risks to think and act outside of the lines!
Today, Saz travels the globe to show how growth is all about embracing the pen and throwing away the pencil. Saz wants everyone to own their marks and story in order to be proud of who they are while seeing power in their purpose. This way, they can impact the world with unwavering confidence and boundless creativity.
