I am pleased to launch two new services, Creativity Consulting
and Creativity Coaching.
CREATIVITY CONSULTING: DRAWING CONNECTIONS PROCESS
With all the challenges that organizations are facing today, new and creative ways of working and learning together are needed. To address this need, I have created a new and unique visual - arts based method for designing a community of practice through the DRAWING CONNECTIONS PROCESS.
Working in direct collaboration with organizational stakeholders, the DRAWING CONNECTIONS PROCESS begins with a complimentary two - hour consultation. This consultation will provide me with the knowledge of the issues and / or concerns facing the organization as it pertains to how people work and learn together. This consultation will also provide organizational stakeholders with the opportunity to determine the process format that works best for everyone. The identified organizational issues and process format will also inform the type of customized creative process and design thinking exercises I will use in the three components found in the DRAWING CONNECTIONS PROCESS, Visual Knowing, Visual Connections and Visual Effects.
Each of the three components, serve a different function.
CREATIVITY COACHING: CREATIVE STRENGTHS RECOGNITION PROCESS
I believe that we are all creative in our own way. Despite this, many people have yet to recognize how their creativity manifests itself in the work they do. This is why the CREATIVE STRENGTHS RECOGNITION PROCESS is not just for artists or designers, but also for anyone who wants to realize their own creative strengths and talents and then how integrate these creative strengths and talents into the work they do.
The CREATIVE STRENGTHS RECOGNITION PROCESS is a person – centred, visual arts based process, which begins with a complimentary two - hour consultation process. This consultation will inform the three phases of the CREATIVE STRENGTHS RECOGNITION PROCESS, Creative Knowing, Creative Connections and Creative Effects.
Each of the three phases, serve a different function.
Each phase in the CREATIVE STRENGTHS RECOGNITION PROCESS is comprised of two sessions. In the first session, you will engage in and explore a variety of customized creative process exercises with the aid of guiding questions. Prior to the second session you will have the opportunity to reflect on how these creative process exercises will affect your professional practice through a series of reflective questions.
NOTE: The CREATIVE STRENGTHS RECOGNITION PROCESS can also be customized for Educators and Care Givers.
NOTE: The CREATIVE STRENGTHS RECOGNITION PROCESS is not an art therapy program or service
CREATIVE LEARNING DESIGN FRAMEWORK
The underlying foundation or structure for the Creativity Consulting / Coaching services is the Creative Learning Design Framework. The Creative Learning Design Framework is a unique art based, learning design process comprised of three components Visual (Creative) Knowing, Visual (Creative) Connections and Visual (Creative) Effects. The Creative Learning Design Framework is not some kind of rigid curriculum design system, but is a flexible learning design process that has already been used in the design and/or delivery of a number of learning programs and services.
