With those in mind, walk yourself through the creative problem solving process using this week's learning module. Also see the bonus files in the "Creative Problem Solving" folder in the resources section. There is a self-guided document ("3-ringbooklet.pdf"), and several CPS reference decks that will help flesh out this week's learning module, and help you better understand how to self-facilitate the CPS process.

Stop at any point where you have an aha moment and reflect on it in the discussion board. I encourage you to use any of the open Mural spaces as well.

NOTE: this may take some time. Don't rush through it. You will be surprised by the results if you work through it deliberately.

You don't have to finish the entire document, but do get to a place where you have a better sense of your challenge(s) and are beginning to think about ways to address one of them.

Give yourself permission to be open to new ideas, new ways of looking at things, and new alternatives when all you previously saw were blockers. The goal is not necessarily to find a new outcome, but to find a new way of viewing your challenges and opportunities, a new path, and a new set of steps to take.

Share your insights here (NOT theory; but your personal reflections).
