The Creativity at Work Blog

What a month. January was all about  ”Moving forward, making progress, achieving goals, clearing hurdles, passing the competition—with increasing ease” — to quote Marshal Goldsmith’s tweet today.

I’ll be delivering Creativity at Work talks and workshops in Singapore and Malaysia in a few weeks and I am thrilled to announce I’ll be speaking at Singapore Management University’s conference on:

WOMEN IN THE COMMUNITY: Change Movers
Dawn of the New Decade: Heralding International Womens’ Day, Feb  26- 27, 2010 SMU

I will be speaking on influencing for Impact

The success of your project— and the course of your career —depends on your ability to influence people to get things done. This highly interactive workshop provides an overview of developing influence, power and impact (drawn from research and executive coaching frameworks) to help you have more impact as a leader.

Learn how to exercise the power and influence you need to get things done through others even when your responsibilities exceed your formal authority. This workshop involves image-making, mapping and dialogue, self-assessments on influence and impact, guidelines for effectively influencing upper management, co-workers and supervisors.

I am also pleased to announce I will be speaking about creativity and innovation in a one day master class, Kuala Lumpur, sponsored by Artful Heart Sdn. Bhd:

Prime Minister Y.A.B. Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has declared 2010 as the Year of Innovation and Creativity for Malaysia: “Innovation creates jobs and boosts national competitiveness. This is why we, too, must make a creative impact in a competitive global economy. We must not allow ourselves to be left behind.”

The economic future of an organisation depends on its ability to create wealth by fostering innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. CEOs and their management teams will need to become creative leaders. Employees will need to think broadly, act personally and manage change meaningfully.
