William Donius, former chairman of Pulaski Bank and best-selling author of
Thought Revolution: How to Unlock Your Inner Genius, will be the keynote speaker for the BBB’s Charity Symposium Aug. 30 at the Chase Park Plaza.
Donius’s book offers a proven, easy method for finding creativity by tapping into the right brain. Donius interviewed hundreds of test subjects to find out whether they could use their right brains to break through barriers and obstacles, gaining insight into their inner geniuses.
Donius’ presentation will help nonprofits increase their own creativity, unlocking potential for growth.
Donius will open the symposium at 7:30 a.m. A panel discussion will follow, and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the breakfast meeting, which adjourns at 9:30 a.m.
The event costs $35, including continental breakfast; $30 for a BBB Accredited Charity or $30 each for two or more from the same organization.
Other speakers at the event include:
