Creativity is the one universal ingredient of success. Creatives report higher job satisfaction and lead more fulfilling lives than any other class of people. And yet our school curricula focus on rote learning and test taking at the expense of creativity, problem-solving and higher-order thinking. James Whittaker shows you how to develop your creative mind and use it as the fulcrum of a lifestyle where creativity doesn't just happen, it becomes the default case for everything you do in work and life. Come to this session and learn to supercharge your creativity to make your work more interesting and your life more exciting.

Learn:

How to learn faster and retain knowledge better.
How to merge your passions with your day job.
How to discover and nurture your creative biorhythms.
How to become an expert in your field.
How to turn your creativity on at will. 

This class will include a full buffet dinner and a copy of James Whittaker's book!

“Through her accessible songwriting, clear and controlled vocals, and her willingness to put in the hours of work necessary, the future is exciting for Sedona. It’s odd to think about because sharing the stage with a band as big as Train would be a reasonable definition of success for a musical artist, but for Sedona that was only the beginning.” (Julien A. Luebbers, Spokesman Review 2021)

Growing up in a musical family, Justin Kausal-Hayes began playing guitar at age 9. After taking briefly lessons and learning a few chords,  he was off an running! Early influencers were American folk music icons Crosby Stills and Nash, Jimi Hendricks, then later Stevie Ray Vaughn and Pearl Jam. In his early 20s, Justin formed a band with some high school buddies. They called themselves “Author Unknown” and mostly played bluesy covers mixed with a few originals around the local Seattle scene. Years later, the band changed their name to “Buckets of Rain,” and focused on original material. You can read more about Justin’s current bands below. 

Justin plays live 5 to 6 nights a week at various local establishments around Seattle and beyond. He is also available for private lessons in North Seattle 2 days a week.
