The importance of a creative mind in the corporate world (and the design world, in particular) cannot be over emphasized. In today’s demanding market, where every effort is maximized and any improvement counts, creativity can become your winning edge. This original workshop will open the door to the hidden potential within each one of us, exploring the following topics:

one task – many perspectives
creative problem solving
perfectionism vs. excellence
tapping into your playful side
creative collaboration
the “yes, and…” principle as a key to a successful teamwork
heightening one’s self awareness

This workshop will be experience-based, interactive and fun!

Through specifically tailored improvisation techniques and exercises, participants will learn, experience and implement a new set of interpersonal communication skills in order to better fulfill their professional potential. Experiential learning will be utilized in helping the implementation of these new skills, improvement of existing ones, and breaking negative patterns where necessary.
