Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“Ideation is one of the most important parts of business and it's a skill every manager, every employee and every executive will benefit from having.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr., Business Ideation: The Five Steps

Criss Jami
“God helps those who help themselves' is common sense, 'God helps those who cannot help themselves' is sound theology, and 'God helps all the living', a simple ideation.”
Criss Jami, Healology
