“Helping staff solve problems creatively is the fastest way for new managers to become a more effective leader and build a stronger team.” – Ellia Harris. Ellia Harris is passionate about the role that creativity provides in addressing organizational, societal, and global problems, and in helping people and teams achieve their potential. Through The Potential Center™, Ellia’s mission is to simplify the creative problem-solving and innovation process so managers can feel confident in addressing urgent, pervasive, and expensive problems while building a stronger, happier team. Having been one herself several times over, Ellia prefers to coach and train relatively new managers who may be experiencing staff turnover, low morale, team disagreements, or static revenue. These managers are often in sustainability, social enterprise, and nonprofit organizations – sectors that align with her passions and experience. Ellia’s framework Light Bulb Thinking™ (LBT) is designed to cultivate curiosity, creativity, and critical reasoning skills. And with its strong slant on leadership development, LBT and the audio course Light Bulb Moments™ help clients achieve goals while building a culture of kickass innovation.
