This workshop empowers busy leaders and managers to make better decisions by drawing on creative practices used by artists and supported by neuroscience. From cultivating opportunities for “genius” to strike, to facilitating the flow of ideas, transforming them into outcomes, and effectively communicating those outcomes in collaboration, every team benefits from robust creative processes and solutions.
The modern workplace demands both rigorous decision-making and the ability to iterate at an increasingly rapid pace. In a world where overwhelm and anxiety are on the rise, the organisations that thrive are those that navigate the flood of choices with a creative mindset.
What we’ll cover:
- Why we must curate to make space to create
- How archetypes offer a roadmap for the mind
- What neuroscience and acting can teach us about mental tension
- What film directors can teach us about leading teams
- Why we do our best work in the shower.
Who is this relevant for?
This is relevant for anyone who needs to make decisions requiring both long-term and short-term thinking. It is particularly valuable for those in leadership roles or more traditional “creative” or strategy positions.
