ART FOR COMMUNITY WORKSHOP

Most teams are tactical. Assign them tasks, and boxes will certainly get ticked. But communities? That’s next level. Communities share a culture. Communities collaborate toward a higher purpose. Communities bring together diverse views and skill sets in service of an aligned vision.

We use the word team on this site because, well, that’s vernacular everyone easily recognizes. But our goal is for each person to feel like they belong to something much bigger. This workshop engages everyone as you discover creative ways to collaborate, reveal unique skill sets and align your values by observing art through inclusive exercises and open dialogue in a space of psychological safety.

ART FOR INNOVATION WORKSHOP

Creativity begets creativity. Get inspired by groundbreaking art and learn about artists who have challenged and changed the way we perceive our world. Anyone on your team think they’re not creative? We’ll help everyone understand creativity bias and discover the abundance of forms creativity can take.

In this workshop, everyone explores their unique approach to creativity and understands internal and external drivers. We’ll build creative confidence and exercise creative muscles. We’ll review the 4 types of creativity. We’ll show you how to lean into individual strengths, foster flexibility and increase flow for a more innovative collective.

LEADING WITH CREATIVE COLLABORATION

(Discussion + Hands-on making)

Effective collaboration is an art form. Today's emerging leaders need to do more than help teams build on each other's ideas for solutions; they need to be able to create a safe environment and open invitation for bold thinking.

This experiential workshop will take leaders through a series of creative activations inspired by the principles and elements of design and neuro-aesthetics to support creative collaboration and next level thinking.

In this leadership workshop, you'll learn to navigate ambiguity, support breakaway thinking, and acquire new skills and methods for channeling the power of diverse perspectives.
