Why learn to be more creative?
“Every child is an artist; the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.” – Pablo Picasso
Creativity is not mystical nor illusionary. As children, we called it play. But play is not something that only belongs to childhood – it is vitally important for us as adults, too, so we can. With the right environment and tools, anyone can access and nurture their creativity.

Recently LinkedIn published an article saying that Creativity is at the top of the list of what companies most need. “Learning how to think more creatively will benefit you for the rest of your career. Macroeconomic trends suggest creativity will only become more important moving forward”.
Creativity is so much more than staying ahead in your company or job market. It is an enjoyable skill you can learn that will greatly improve your everyday life in and outside work by:
- strengthening your perception awareness
- stimulating in and out of the box thinking
- building your self-confidence and
- enhancing your problem solving and teamwork skills
- expanding your sense of time and allowing you to experience flow
- increasing your self-awareness and expression
- improve your ability to improvise and adapt to change
- enhancing your leadership and gaining you respect from peers.
Are you looking to strengthen your own or your employees’ creativity skills?
Based on my years of experience and dedicated study, I have developed a cutting-edge professional development workshop that includes a series of engaging and effective exercises to specifically and effectively develop creativity and mindfulness, both in the work space and in your personal life.

Why learn to be more mindful?
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” (Victor Frankl)
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention – in the present moment – to yourself, others and the world around you. Anyone can train in mindfulness and we now know that such training literally re-configures your brain.
Mindfulness will improve your and your employees’ lives in and outside of work by:
- creating an ability to live with ease
- enhancing clarity of thought
- building mental fortitude
- building resilience
- instilling courage
- enhancing happiness
- potentially help dissolving anxiety, stress and depression
- increasing self-compassion
- reducing fear of creativity by nurturing non-judgement
Is learning mindfulness looking very appealing right now?
The cutting-edge professional development workshop I have developed will allow you to build your mindfulness skills in a focused and effective way, through a series of enjoyable, engaging exercises in a safe environment.
