Do you have a business idea? Is there a new skill you want to learn? Are you starting to write your thesis? Do you want to develop a new research project or write an article? Set up a charity project? Write a book? What is your dream?
Whether you have an idea, want to find one, or are struggling to get an article or thesis done, this course provides the general framework of the process of making ideas happen, from idea generation to conceptualization and to materialization, based on Stefania's unique metaphor developed in her book "From Ideas to Reality - The Secret to Making Your Ideas Happen". Each phase is then developed in detail.
What is your idea? Bring it to this workshop, and learn how to conceptualize it, and make it happen.
At the beginning of each session, Stefania will review the work done in relation to the previous lesson. All classes are divided into a theoretical part, a practical part where individual projects are brought in as case studies, and a final group discussion.
