Constant inspiration for creative thinking

A one-day session that shows the habits and techniques that will help you continually come up with fresh ideas and approaches.

The brain is a processor. It deals with the input it is given. And if that input runs dry, the thinking starts to stagnate and the ideas become harder to find. Because information doesn’t help you if it’s not in your head.

This session looks at how to gather the most valuable kind of input that will help you generate ideas. And how to retain that information for when you need it.

The result is the ability to come up with ideas you wouldn’t normally have and less time spent staring at a wall waiting for inspiration to strike.

Constant inspiration for endless ideas

A one-day immersive training session that feeds your mind and amplifies your creative thinking.

 

When you’re focused on your output, it can be easy to neglect your input. And that’s what leads to creative ruts and uninspired thinking.

It’s also possible for an obsession with the industry to lead to derivative thinking and ideas that don’t push the envelope.

That’s not very helpful in the world of marketing. Thankfully, this session is the antidote to that.

It teaches habits and techniques that will fill your mind with inspiration. It teaches how to improve your judgement. And it will inspire you to do better work.

Who wouldn’t want that?

The practical takeaways that this course gives the attendees can be immediately put into action. And will quickly have an impact on the quality and variety of ideas you can expect from your team.

 

What You'll Learn

  • How to have a constant stream of inspiration
  • How to break your thinking out of standard approaches
  • Techniques to get to ideas more effectively
  • Habits that will transform your output
