On your numerous kind requests, we’re thrilled to welcome Masaaki Hasegawa, a Japanese artist, author and speaker in UNIT.City again.

"Imagination first, action second".

We know how to "execute orders" and "optimize the past." However, nowaday we live in the age of creation and creativity is one of the most important elements to accelerate innovations. In this lecture, Masaaki will advocate a paradigm shift in our approach to creativity: from the behavior-driven approach to imagination-driven.

We will examine:

• Mindset, strategy, and design action: how Masaaki has developed his unique approach “The Art of Making Your Ideas Happen”.
• How to maximize the power of imagination and how to embody your ideas in the physical world.

Will be interesting for: entrepreneurs, creators, artists, designers, students, programmers, big thinkers, inventors and innovators.

Masaaki has already helped thousands of people in over 100 countries including award-winning actors, professional athletes, and business executives, to flourish their creativity.

Come and empower your own potential!
