Princeton UniversityThrive Innovation Series: Design Thinking Training & Development

Cheryl brought her expertise in design thinking to Princeton's Innovation Series. Taking centerstage, she exposed almost 300 participants to an introduction and activation of design thinking in their entrepreneurial lanes and in their Corporate America careers. Her training was rated 5-stars as one of the highest impact sessions of the conference.  One observant of Cheryl's training wrote:

"I truly was able to appreciate Cheryl’s teaching skills as such were on full display when she led the Entrepreneurship Workshop: Introduction to Design Thinking. It is no exaggeration to say that she taught an audience of successful adults who (as Princeton alumni are wanting to do) thought they already knew all they needed to know about how to engage with others in furtherance of their professional endeavors. Cheryl’s presentation was incredibly insightful and engaging. Her teaching methodology understandable and the ease in which she highlighted the process of coming to the right design theory question to achieve the best response was impressive. Many of the people in that workshop had graduated more than 20+ years ago, and we were all invigorated by her insights of how we should approach certain matters. I could not help but think how phenomenal it would be for younger generations to have exposure to this knowledge earlier in their education and career."
