Brainstorming and Beyond

What’s a brainstorm? How to do it right and make it work for you and what to do when it seems to be going wrong.

Expected outcomes

Participants will learn how to facilitate a brainstorm, what to do before, during and after the session for best results.

Expected outcomes

Participants will learn to use mind mapping for creativity, organization and learning.

Mind mapping is a tool for recording things in a mindful, visual way. It helps organize thoughts, ideas and actions. And it is a formidable tool for generating new ideas.

Mind Mapping for Personal Efficiency & Creativity

Expected outcomes

Participants will discover different dimensions of trust and how they might promote them in their teams and in all of their business and life transactions.

Trust is crucial in teamwork and in any social activity. Building trust is a responsibility in which all members of an organization should actively engage.

Building Trust

Expected outcomes

Participants will have open conversations on advice from experts taken from business literature. They will offer each other tips on leadership and shortlist the best advice.

Leadership Advice

Leadership skills at all levels can be learned and developed. This workshop is based on open dialogue around snippets of good advice not on long theories or habits of other people.

Expected outcomes

Participants will play a simulation game and make decisions on how to promote innovation. Their decisions will be peer reviewed and debriefed.

Innovation Leadership

What must change to make our organization more innovative? What change in structure, culture and personal behaviour needs to happen?

Expected outcomes

Participants will learn to take responsibility for their own

happiness and they will

explore practises that have

been proven to increase happiness at work and in life.

Happiness @ Work

What makes you happy/unhappy at work? What can you do about it?

Expected outcomes

Participants will seek and define their own personal brand to differentiate themselves and will provocatively challenge accepted work practises.

Dare to be Different!

Conformity is fine when it comes to standardise or streamline processes. Yet there is great value in differentiation too.

Expected outcomes

Participants will explore the powers and pitfalls of team collaboration and how to raise their own teamwork to higher, more exciting levels of teamwork.

The Power of Innovative Teams

Nothing happens in “solo” mode in an organization, it all happens in teams. But there are good teams, bad teams and innovative teams.

Expected outcomes

Participants will learn the difference between problems to be solved and polarities to be managed and how they might approach managing the polarities in practise.

Managing Polarities

Our work is full of apparent ambiguities such as efficiency vs innovation, teamwork vs individual excellence, collaboration vs competition.

Expected outcomes

Through a simulation participants will explore various dimensions of change and how to best deal with it, personally and as an organization.

Managing Change

Change and how to manage it are both organizational and personal issues.

Expected outcomes

Participants will take an assessment (Creative Problem Solving Profile – Min Basadur) to determine their personal style in solving problems and explore other styles and resultant behaviors.

How are you creative?The question is not “how creative are you?” but “how are you creative?” All people are creative and they use their creativity in different ways.

Expected outcomes

Participants will understand the value Powerpoint can add to (or subtract from) a speaker. They will pick up tips to make their presentations more impactful.

Presenting with Powerpoint

Let’s face it we have all experienced death by Powerpoint. In fact it is such a valuable tool for presenters they can’t do without it. Long live Powerpoint!

Expected outcomes

With the help of a card game or two and a few exercises, participants will practise and learn how to improve their listening skills.

Listening, really listening

Most people will agree that listening is usually the weakest link in our personal communication. What can we practically do about it?

Expected outcomes

Participants will learn to present themselves via a 30-second and 1 to 2-minute self-presentation and will offer feedback to their colleague’s presentations.

This is Me

Presenting oneself is as pleasing as it is frightening. Practise it! It can only help you and your career and your life.

Expected outcomes

Participants will play a simulation game in which they engage in selling an idea of their own, alone and in teams. The most effective methods of persuasion are then unravelled.

Selling your Ideas

The most important skill at work is probably the ability to sell one’s thoughts and ideas.

Expected outcomes

Participants will come unprepared to play improvisation games and so discover the practise of collaborative creativity and the power of “yes … and”.

Improvise your Life

Most of life is unplanned. How do you become a better operator in unplanned situations?

Expected outcomes

Participants will explore how they may transform a conflict situation or a negotiation from hard bargaining to win-win.

Make Love, not War

Collaboration beats conflict hands down! But is it always possible?
