SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: The Innovator's Mindset
DESCRIPTION:We often think of creativity as a talent—something you’re either born with or you’re not. But neuroscience tells a different story. Creativity is a skill that can be trained\, strengthened\, and rewired—just like a muscle. The most innovative thinkers aren’t just naturally creative. They’ve learned how to intentionally break free from habitual thinking\, challenge assumptions\, and embrace discomfort to unlock breakthrough ideas. \nJoin us on Thursday\, August 28\, for KU Innovation Park’s next lunch and learn to explore how your brain resists innovation and how to override those limitations. You’ll discover practical mental models\, habits\, and exercises that help you rewire your brain for curiosity\, adaptability\, and creative problem-solving. \nLunch and networking begin at 11:45 a.m.\, and the presentation will be from 12 to 1 p.m. at KU Innovation Park’s Phase III Facility\, 2033 Becker Drive. \nWhether you’re a developer\, designer\, product leader\, or entrepreneur\, this talk will give you the cognitive tools and actionable techniques to consistently generate fresh ideas\, adapt to change\, and sustain innovation over time. \nKey takeaways from this session include: \n\nHow to think like an innovator. Gain techniques to break free from habitual thinking and generate bold\, original ideas.\nStrengthening your creative resilience. Discover how to push through failures\, setbacks\, and uncertainty with confidence.\nRewiring your brain for adaptability. Walk away with practical exercises to train yourself for constant reinvention and innovation.\n\nThis event is free\, but registration is required as lunch will be provided. Please register below. This event is open to anyone. You do not have to work for a Park company to attend.
