To stand out among your audience, there must be an understanding of the context in which they are making decisions. What do they truly want from you, and what other solutions might they find in your place?
Sometimes, that includes traditional higher education or online providers. Other competitors include nontraditional offerings people think of as replacements and alternatives, like tech platforms.
Knowing what people are choosing between can help you prioritize what needs to be communicated and how.

We are all creative. Don't believe that sentence? It's 100% true and scientifically proven (by neuroscience!). Our creative brains are a marvel of nature and creative thinking is one of the most sought-after skills companies (and CEOs) look for. And yet, 75% of people think they're not living up to their creative potential.
Through this workshop you'll:
- Learn about the mechanics of creative thinking.
- Acquire practical actions you can take to boost your own creativity.
- Experience a fun and, frankly goofy, Creative Friday — an outrageous day of silliness created at the ASU Outreach Hub to increase creative thinking, teamwork and professional development.
