4-6 minute Seminar Sample

When it comes to creativity, what decade are you operating from? Since the 1950’s views of creativity has shifted at least 5 times. This program reveals emerging trends and research behind simple practices that allow creative thinking to prosper and innovation to occur. It demystifies the fallacies of accepted creativity tenets and unmasks messages from mythology that have shaped beliefs on the subject. You’ll come away from this program with language to use to involve others in using their creative abilities to make a difference.

This program highlights

• Creativity research and changes in attitudes toward creativity over the decades
• Three basic fears that prevent people from contributing fully when asked for new ideas
• Type, temperament and other language to engage, inspire and empower people to accept, and work with their creativity day-to-day

This new knowledge can be applied in your business, your organization and your personal life. With awareness comes choice. You can choose to use the content of this program to enhance your practice, your message delivery and your creative thinking facilitation and to behave in ways that fuel your and others’ creative behaviour.

Some attendee comments…

• “I really enjoyed hearing the difference between creativity and innovation with the key concept that we are all creative and it is important that we use that creativity.”
• “Marci’s knows the subject well and has some great stories and resources for facilitors to use.”
