You know the creHater. It's that person that is overly critical of everything creative. You could write boring reports month after month and the creHater would not say a word. But try and create an infographic… The creHater is the null's best friend. Being creative means putting yourself out there. When you put yourself out […]
Wake up your creative side
I've been finding way too many people out there who don't think that they're creative. Creativity is just the practical application of our imagination. We all have an imagination and, at some point in our lives, we have all been creative. It's just really easy to fall out of practice and merge with the null. […]

Google, a company that prides itself as being an alternative, reminds us that sexist historical viewpoints are still the null. So what are the facts? Ann Martin has been gathering and compiling evidence on her blog since November of […]
The tension at the beginning of every evaluation
This cartoon is a tension attacker. It’s not designed to judge. It’s designed to spark. If you’re on the program side, you have to believe the program works.
