In this one-day velocity workshop, you will discover how to use the tools of the
arts to free yourself of past fears, concerns and limitations, and begin powerfully

yourself as Creator, Audience & Critic. You do not have to be involved in the

greater effectiveness in communicating and relating to others, and freedom in
taking bold risks.

From past Art of the Breakthrough Workshop participants:
"Thanks so much for creating this incredible workshop and allowing me to take it twice. I
do not work in the creative field per se, I am a business and technology strategy
consultant. Yet creativity and the ability to look at a problem from an untraditional
perspective is a highly valuable skill to have in my field. And this was exactly what I got
access to through participating in your workshop -- a realization that allowing yourself to
be uninhibited, creative, challenging the status quo and expressing thoughts and ideas
freely is actually very much appreciated by established corporate business culture. I was
able to get access to thinking "out of the box." In fact, such way of thinking, is not any
particular skill. We all have it but it is hidden behind our formal professional training.
The creative writing exercise where I wrote poetry, spontaneously, both times (the only
times in my life) opened access to expression of my thoughts with harmony, driven by
"emotional intelligence." Being able to tell the story using visual tools/graphics is
absolutely invaluable, as this is the best way to communicate any idea. Since the
workshop takes place in a group of people, each participating in others' work, I got
feedback on what people saw in the visual expression of my ideas. I have learned the
value of simplicity and leaving space for others to "fill in the blanks," this is a way to
stimulate their creativity and create their ownership of your original idea. In my
professional application, I have already used it to facilitate creative sessions where
complex problems are solved with simple solutions and communication was simplified
and streamlined.
The acting part of the workshop gave a unique opportunity to bring my own situation of
interacting with people in my world and model it with people in the workshop who had
random backgrounds. Being an actor and a director of my own skit and having the ability
to modify something in the second iteration and see the shift in conversation and the
outcome taught me interesting lessons in human dynamics and how to maintain
discussion so that the desired outcome is achieved and the potential for the future
cooperation is sustained.
One thing that was present throughout the workshop, the first thing, in fact, that was
established, was the background of mutual respect and genuine interest in people as
humans. I took this technique to every area of my life: the most rewarding thing for
anyone is when somebody expresses interest in them as individual personalities. As much
as I gained insight into my own creative potential, I learned how to appreciate and evoke
creativity in others. My ability to engage other people in a creative process proves to be
especially valuable in all areas of my life where I deal with people.
Donna, thanks again for creating this incredible workshop. Besides its face value, it is a
great way to spend a day, meet interesting people, and explore and surprise yourself. I
recommend this to anybody; it holds the promise to discover something new about
yourself and being able to gain insight into others as an ongoing practice."

"At first I wasn't sure what to really expect and how it would be but I found this workshop
to be a really cathartic experience, a journey through the past to help create a better
future and see things in perspective. It's not a lecture but a proactive and hands-on
workshop that will really allow you to express yourself in different ways and realize that
no man is an island out there alone in the ocean of life."
--Carolina Gasiorowski, United Nations administration
“I discovered a whole new language of self-expression. There is power in the written
word, in the visualization of images and working in a group environment that I never
imagined. Coming from 20 years experience, the workshop has brought me to a new level
of artistry--professionally in claiming ownership of my talent, and in newly discovering
the voice of a fine artist.”
