Other People Rave About Our Innovation Workshops

“The Connects Innovation team provided the Island County School Based Mental Health Counselors with unique insight about how they think and relate to others through the use of several fun and practical tools.  The counselors gained knowledge on how to best utilize their gifts to provide even better service to the students and families they work with.  They left the training with an action plan that will help them reach their goals to be even more effective counselors.  I highly recommend this training for any team that wants to take on goal setting in a more creative and innovative way.”

– Charlene Ray, Island County School Based Mental Health Coordinator

“Our company hired Gerald and his team to facilitate work we were doing internally and we could not have been more pleased. From their energy and openness through their fantastic tools like KnowBrainer, SolutionPeople were a great partner in getting great work done. Specifically, we found their tools to be powerful at bringing new ideas and insights to the forefront quickly and keeping us focused and engaged all day, which is key when dealing with a large group of creative people with other things on their minds.”
– Rene Huey-Lipton, Vice President, GSD&M Advertising

“The innovation workshop with Gerald was an out of the box memorable experience based on a successful tool. The KnowBrainer helped me generate new creative ideas & solutions to challenges that I’ve been working on for a year.”
– Maher Mezher, Head of Marketing, First National Bank of Lebanon 

“I had the fortune of attending a two day seminar with Gerald at his Thinkubator in Chicago. I have been to many training sessions over the years, but this had to be the most worthwhile experience. From the moment we started, the content was instantly engaging and connected to my personal and business goals. His tools like the “KnowBrainer” and other handouts are so easy to use, easy to learn and applicable to so much that I do in business and in life outside the workplace. I went to the seminar to find ways to help my creative team think differently about challenges and remove mental blocks. I walked away with a set of tools that will not only help my team and me at me work, but will help in personal life as well. Gerald is a sincere individual who really takes pride in what he does and I would recommend using his training or simply his perspective on any innovation or thinking you need.”
– David Lifsitz, Director of Innovation, Liberty Mutual

– Bill Myers – Research In Motion

“I have heard about Gerald’s Thinkubator and his work for many years. However, I had the privilege to recently attend one of Gerald’s workshops recently. I am amazed how much he has accomplished and contributed to the field of creativity and innovation. I love his latest design of Thinkubator! Besides his innovation methods, I learned from Gerald’s training style and techniques. Overall, I am truly impressed by Gerald’s work in Chicago and impact around the world!”
– Praveen Gupta, Faculty, Business Innovation, Illinois Institute of Technology

“My experience with Gerald during the 2 day Accelerated Innovation Workshop was very positive. From the moment I walked in the door he made me feel welcome and comfortable. The 4 -Stage Accelerated Innovation Process, presented by Gerald, is a great guide and highly valuable when also using his KnowBrainer Tool. Gerald also presented four techniques that tap into the potential of the KnowBrainer Tool. Overall, the workshop was fun, informative, and empowering. I recommend it for anyone in any industry who has a need to increase idea output and realize them as solutions.”
