Creative thinking. Creative leadership. Creative teams.

Robust business decisions and actions.

Creativity is more than you think.

It’s not a time luxury, a waste of time, a hobby, or a pastime.

It is now a reality that Creativity is a necessary leadership skill and team requirement.

Creativity can

  • spark ideas and innovation for greater projects and income generation

  • help you understand complex concepts and plans

  • enable you to gain authentic insight

  • enable deeper communication

  • grow emotional intelligence in leadership and teams

  • Build confidence for individuals and within situations

  • nurture the well-being of your team

Creative thinking processes such as the DPA customised Co-Design, Design Thinking, and Review sessions enable you to understand and connect with your team and target audience in a psychologically safe space, producing results you had never imagined.

That is why I am passionate about explicitly embracing creativity in these professional yet fun and approachable business insight sessions. Whatever the objective you need to achieve, we can figure out a creative wellness facilitation method to achieve it.

  • The aim of these sessions is not just to do things differently. It’s to do them better.
    By embracing creativity, we can host interesting and insightful sessions and understand things deeply so we can change for the better.

  • Maybe you are at a crossroads and not sure about which direction to take with your business or organisation.

    Maybe there is disharmony and you would like to unify your team.

    If there is a business hump related to insight and communication, creative facilitation can help you.

  • Utilising the power of the group to maximise insights during the vision/mission-making stage

    You will take away…

    • a personalised session for you and your organisation.

    • a written report of what was covered.

    • practical and honest insights about what is going on, what you are doing well, and what can be done to improve.

    • greater team unification.

Creative thinking is not a talent; it is a skill that can be learned. It empowers people by strengthening their natural abilities, which improves teamwork, productivity, and, where appropriate, profits.

-Edward De Bono

What makes these sessions so effective?

I help you tap into the creative resources and gain valuable insights into your team.

I use doodling, drawing, painting, photography, and Lego to achieve insightful and team-building results that conventional training methods cannot achieve.
