Develop bold ideas, solve problems and innovate with Whole-Brain Creativity

In the turbulent landscape of today’s business world, where change is constant and innovation is paramount, our Creativity Workshops & Trainings empower your team to not only adapt but thrive. We take a whole-brain thinking approach to fostering creativity and innovation. Creativity demands a fusion of right-brain imagination, artistry, and intuition, coupled with left-brain logic and planning.

Tailored Solutions for Real Impact

Develop the creativity, innovation and leadership capabilities you need to adapt to change, disrupt habitual habits of thought, stay competitive, improve business performance and make a positive difference in the world. We customize each workshop so that you can work on real challenges that add value to your business. You will learn practical tools and techniques you can use on the job.

Techniques and methodologies are drawn from business, art, science and design. Exercises are designed to effect shifts in perception, develop creative mindsets, and reframe challenges in a safe and fun atmosphere.

  1. Analytical Intelligence: Frame problems effectively and critically evaluate ideas.

  3. Relational Intelligence: Includes emotional intelligence, gut instincts, and understanding how ideas impact others within a system.

Our company has a mandate to accelerate business growth through innovation and in order to reach our targets we recognised the need for skills development in creativity. We asked Linda Naiman to conduct a creativity workshop at our global meeting for our Business Unit team of chemists, engineers and marketers, to inspire creative thinking, introduce idea generation methodologies, and develop a set of tangible ideas for new products and services. Linda offered us a challenging, unusual approach to creativity, which was highly valuable for me. While some skeptics in the audience made it a real challenge for Linda, she mastered it extremely well and provided all of us with highly valuable insights. We now have a set of principles and practices for fostering creativity and innovation that we are implementing at our Business Unit. I recommend Linda Naiman to companies looking for effective ways to cultivate creativity in their people.
