As a Project Manager, you’ve no doubt experienced the Eureka effect, when you realized the solution to a complex project problem or stakeholder conflict while standing in the shower or commuting to work.

Did you yell”Eureka“ as Archimedes did? While you “slept on it” the unconscious brain was working on the problem.

We can also trigger the unconscious brain
to work on a problem while we are doodling.

Zentangle is a “structured doodling” that allows the unconscious brain to focus on resolving project issues and developing creative problem solutions. All this without having to leave the office or jump in the shower.

Increase your “Aha moments“!

Learn ho Zentangle can:

1. Improve your Emotional Intelligence,
2. Improve your Focus,
3. Increase your Creativity and
4. Help focus your Decision-Making.
