In order for someone to exhibit creative behaviors, there has to be an environment that is both safe and conducive to supporting those behaviors.  In this interactive session we will examine what it means to be creative and how creativity exists within popular training theories.  We will take a deeper dive and discover the varied traits and characteristics that encompass a creative person. We will also examine the training classroom environment – to see what we are already doing to support creative behavior, and how we might further enhance the classroom experience.

Our presenter, Kristin Fields, currently serves as a Training Coordinator with the Public Assistance Development and Operations department at the Center for Development of Human Services (CDHS), Institute for Community Health Promotion, SUNY Buffalo State. In this role, she is administrator of a training contract for the Human ResourcesAdministration (HRA) in New York City focused on the development of management and supervisory skills, as well as trainer skill development, for a body of employees that is 14,000 strong. As part of this work, she has designed and facilitated an extensive Train-the-Trainer program that is utilized by both CDHS and HRA trainers. Kristin also serves as an internal facilitator for strategic initiatives and coordinates professional development opportunities for all CDHS staff.

In addition to her work at CDHS, Kristin is adjunct faculty for the Creative Studies department at SUNY Buffalo State, as well as the designer/instructor of the Entrepreneurial Effectiveness program, run through the Small Business Development Center, also of SUNY Buffalo State. Career highlights include a publication in the Journal of Museum Education on encouraging and supporting creativity, as well as the facilitation of numerous workshops on such topics as developing mission and vision statements and engaging adult learners. Kristin is a certified facilitator of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Signature Program. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Language Pathology and a Master of Science degree in Creativity and Innovation, both from SUNY Buffalo State.
