HELLO OH MY GOODNESS. So, I wrote this message below and then I realized I have a FREE year of Premium membership to give away. So, I will choose someone who comments and then you'll get a FREE year of Premium and you won't have to pay if you've already paid and all that jazz. Whaaaa?? Ok, back to the message:

Hello everyone and happy Friday / happy day-you-read-this!

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken one of the three creativity classes that I've been lucky enough to teach on Skillshare! The comments and feedback have been awesome. I'm making my way through every single project shared so if you don't have a comment from me on that, you will soon :)

Lots of you took my "Creative Toolkit" class and I'm so thankful. If you dig that class, you may like my Creative Jumpstart class. There are new activities, new prompts, and a puppet is involved. It's out there. If you want some inspiration on what human-focused brainstorming looks like I've also got the encore from a Live class I did.

I think creativity is so much powerful when we collaborate. So, I want to ask you:

What is a topic or class you would like me to talk about?
What is something you have more questions on?
What has been the most helpful thing you've taken away from my classes?

I'm here because I want to be helpful! And, I suppose, being helpful starts with asking people "hey, how can I be helpful?"

Isn't that a wild idea? Asking people what they want! I'm doing it. I'm going wild!! I'm just a man. Sitting in front of a computer and a couple thousand incredible skillsharers, asking them what they would like to see.

Thanks for the incredible gift you have all given me. I have learned so much in teaching the class but mostly by looking at the brilliant ways you adapt, modify, and bring to life concepts and ideas discussed.

If you ever need anything, I am here!

Thanks,

Esteban Gast (@realestebangast if you're on those social media sites)

PS I still want to know your ideas and please answer the questions above if you've got time/interest but now that you're reading this I've got some ideas for classes are below. They don't have fancy names and some of them aren't even real, but it's a start. It's a brainstorm, ya know? Do you dig any of them?

Idea Generation / Brainstorming Deep Dive but different than what I've done
Icebreakers that are actually good and meaningful and fun
Engaging activities on Zoom
Public Speaking
Why a hot dog IS a sandwich
Writing a book with a team/partner
Storytelling as a tool for impact
Recess: How to have more fun in your everyday
Building Lego Cities and then knocking them down as stress relief
Break Through Creative Blocks
