McNair Wilson's Profile Page

A little about me:

As a former Disney Imagineer, I travel the countryside poking individuals and working teams toward recapturing their Creative Spirit.

Online, I can be found at:

  • > Between Reason & Recess
    This is the creative activity subcommittee of TEA WITH McNAIR. Here I list all the "exercises" I have proposed and posted. On "Between Reason & Recess" we have only the creative activity posts so new comers can jump in without reading all the other posts--as good as THEY are.
