MYTH & REALITY                                                            
 

We usually think of creativity as an external force that we do not control, or as an artistic talent that we do not possess. We generate ideas every day. If we understand the structure of how we generate those ideas, we can train ourselves to generate them in greater quality and quantity, and solve problems in a much more effective and efficient way. The reality is that creativity is a habit that can be learned using very simple tools.

​

This training will show you what makes us all creative and what simple changes in our creative life can have the greatest effect. The training delves into the key characteristics of everyday creative output. It identifies the obstacles to effective creative training and breaks down idea generation - Ideation - into simple, understandable steps.

​

You will be guided through fun creative challenges that will allow you to see your behavior within the creative process in a practical way, so that you can generate ideas in greater quantity and quality.

STRUCTURE                                                                 
 

This training is a workshop, not a course to sit back, relax and merely watch. It is a practical, dynamic and active training. You are challenged to put it into practice to really learn what is demonstrated. You are asked to complete the creative challenges, and to take the time to actually learn the point of each challenge. The challenges are designed to challenge you, to stimulate your thinking, but also to be fun, so do your best and you will see the best results. Remember that there are no bad ideas here. All challenges are designed to draw out your interpretation of the challenge. You will probably laugh at many of them, and that's a good sign.
