Topics
Extraordinary Visions!
Where do we find the vision to take our lives to the next level? How do we summon the passion to keep “raising the bar?” How can we make our life less of a struggle and more of a joy? For photographer and creativity expert, Dewitt Jones, the answers to these questions lies in the images we hold about ourselves, our future and the way in which we grow.
Clear Vision
In his keynote presentation, award-winning photographer Dewitt Jones explores the fundamentals of creativity – what they are, how they exist in each of us, and how to remove the blocks that keep us from accessing them. Using his own exceptional photographs as examples, Dewitt helps audiences see the world with new eyes and rediscover their own creative gifts.
Dare to Dance
Dare to Dance is a version of Dewitt’s Extraordinary Visions! program customized for meetings in Hawaii. The themes of vision, passion and creativity are interlaced with stories and images drawn from Dewitt’s time in the beautiful Pacific Isles.
The presentation culminates with Dewitt telling a story of a hula troupe from the tiny island of Molokai. To the surprise and delight of the audience, the troupe joins Dewitt on stage, bringing his still images to life. Dewitt urges the audience to “Dare to Dance” in their own lives and ends the program joining the troupe in a hula that brings down the house.
In Dare to Dance, Dewitt weaves a visual tapestry of emotion and content that allows the audience to touch their own passion, to balance their head with their heart, and to come away inspired with their own creative potential.
