Lovely to meet you

Lovely to meet you


Hi there,

it's a real honor to have you here for this little course on ideation. Before we really start with it I wanted to personally thank you to join it. By joining this course you give me motivation to keep on writing more courses, prepare more templates and resources. Thank you  for being my little motivation boost today.

If this is the first time you take a course  here,  let me quickly introduce myself. I'm Daniele, an innovation coach working in Switzerland. I tend to speak in a very down to earth language so there might be some swear words here and there. If you are sensible to that kind of shit, I'd recommend you stop reading now, before your eyes start to bleed.

Thanks again for joining the course and for the motivation that you are giving me.

Cheers

Daniele
