Never Underestimate Your Presence

In China with elementary school students, Dec 2017.

Students participating in some sketching exercises.

I had the good fortune to go to China in 2017 as a facilitator for the World Academy for the Future of Women (https://wafw.org/) The above photos are from a presentation I did at an elementary school in which I talk about the importance of doodling and how it benefits our brains and out creativity. It was December and there was no heat in the classrooms! When I was done, I was treated like a celebrity. All the young people asked for my autograph and they lined up to get it. Never underestimate the effect you can have on people by your presence. Be yourself and show up!
