“Man owes his success to his creativity. No one doubts the need for it. It is most useful in good times and essential in bad.”
Edward De Bono
Thinking creatively is a practical skill, which is why this course is about applying and practising the skills rather than being told how to do them. The workshop takes delegates through a process, first of breaking their mental habits, understanding their own personal blocks and then allowing them to try out new concepts to generate ideas and ways to solve problems.
Delegates will be asked to bring along some work related issues, which need ideas and a different approach, to work on during the course. A professional actor who is a specialist in improvisation and creative drama will add an extra dynamic to the session.
