Our Launching Point for Designing a Program for Your Organization

These topic possibilities are a starting point in designing a creative, fun and effective presentation. You and I can discuss what creativity strengths your group wants to solve, what creativity strengths your group wants to enhance and what topics interest you. Then we'll adjust the depth and detail to suit the expertise and interests of your audience.  We can also discuss options for offering one-on-one or small group creativity coaching sessions where the participants pay some, all or none of the cost.

• Rekindle Your Creative Fire: Explore the 6 stages of the Creative Process and discover simple steps to move more easily through all stages to earn the satisfaction of completing the process. This workshop provides info in a fun format that novices and pros alike can appreciate.
  
  
• Stop Fighting Yourself! Move through Resistance: Call it a creative block. Call it procrastination. Whatever you call it, every creative person experiences some kind of resistance sometime. Resistance is not about lack of discipline or will power, it's about neurology. Discover what’s going on in the brain when we experience resistance (in easy-to-understand terms) and learn the 4 Step Method to effectively move through it.
  
  
• Please Don't Feed the Saboteur! You know what the Saboteur is– it’s that nasty inner critic that is never satisfied. The Saboteur has a variety of disguises: harsh criticism, distraction, accidents, self- destructive habits are just a few. When you know the 5 hallmarks of the Saboteur, you can recognize it and respond appropriately so you feed your creative spirit, not the Saboteur.
  
  
• Resolve Unsolvable Problems: What seems like an unsolvable problem is often not a problem at all; it's a polarity to manage. When you learn to identify the 8 common polarities creative people must negotiate - Structure vs. Spontaneity, Self vs. Other, Inspiration vs. Perspiration, Play vs. Persistence, etc. - you gain the insight you need to effectively manage the polarities in your life.
  
  
• To Create, First Destroy: Pablo Picasso said “Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.” We can get so attached to our identity as creative people, that we refuse to recognize the role that destruction plays in our creativity. That refusal results in exhaustion, dullness, blocks, creative burn-out, and other ways to self-destruct. Examine how the deep desire to be creative actually inhibits creativity and how you can use appropriate destruction to release creative potential.
  
  
• Liminal Space Can be Fun: Liminal space is the betwixt and between space we enter as we make big transitions in our lives – from childhood to adulthood, from from apprentice to professional, from novice to expert. These transitions are challenging because we’re venturing into unknown territory; the upside is that because liminal space is neither here nor there, it can take you anywhere. Discover how liminal space can open wonderful possibilities and develop strategies to make liminal space more fun and your transition more effective.
  
  
• From Procrastinator to Practitioner: Discuss and commit to simple practices to move out of procrastination into satisfaction.
  
  
• Sorting the Junk Drawer of the Psyche: Identify the relationship between ego and shadow and how to release the creative potential of the shadow.
  
  
• Peer Coaching for Creative Change: Identify and practice peer coaching techniques to set goals, eliminate obstacles and achieve results.
