Having the ability to use creativity and critical thinking to solve complex problems can often mean the difference between success and failure – and it’s also just more fun!

During the September 28 Elevate Leadership series co-sponsored by the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and Meridian Technology Center, Jill Hudson will lead “You Can’t Lick Your Elbow: Creative Thinking & Problem Solving.” During this highly interactive session, Hudson will lead participants through individual and group activities to identify and analyze problems under “normal” and “stress” situations, create and sustain an environment that promotes creativity and innovation, and enhance overall decision-making skills.

Hudson is president of Hudson & Associates Consulting, Inc., an organizational consulting firm providing HR and legal compliance support as well as organizational development, training and strategic planning to corporate and nonprofit organizations of all sizes. She has over 25 years of professional human resources experience at the manager, director and officer levels in public, private, government and professional services environments. She is licensed to practice law in Oklahoma and has held the Senior Professional in Human Resources designation for over 20 years.

Elevate Leadership sessions are held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Meridian’s campus. Registration is $15 per session and includes lunch.
