There might be one idea you're searching for BUT it might be 100 ideas away.  How do you get there?  Keep the ideas coming!

Divergent thinking is a specific method of generating a large quantity of ideas on one subject in a short period of time.  This process allows you to push past the mundane and delve into the dynamic.

Think of it as idea riffing - an addictive and amazingly productive process for any field.

"I ran out of ideas" won't be a roadblock after this session.  With collaborative learning and discussions, you'll feel how contagious and effortless divergent thinking can be.

Creativity is absolutely recession proof.  It just takes prompts, practice and play.

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You're ready to create something original.
  • You know you can do better in a shorter period of time.
  • You're bored with knee-jerk answers.
  • You're ready to break through assumptions holding back your success.

IN THIS CLASS YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Where divergent thinking exists in your daily life, work and/or art.  
  • How to build up creative thinking drive and stamina.
  • How to actively engage in the process both individually and as a group.
  • How to acknowledge and push through the walls of "good enough" and "done".
  • How to use your community to increase ideas exponentially.

Join us in an active round-table discussion about amping up your creativity levels.  You'll walk away with great exercises for future projects, as well as experiential learning - individually and as a group.

Prerequisites
Divergent thinking is essential for all occupations - any skill level. Bring what you like to create and learn with: notebook, computer, phone camera, Post-Its or favorite pen but make sure to bring a sense of humor, whimsy and risk taking.
