Knowing you need to innovate is one thing, doing it is another. Creating quality space and time for future thinking can be challenging with everyday business demands. But focused time and energy are key to ensuring you are innovating for the right reasons.
Ask yourself, what is our purpose, who are we serving and are we ready to let go, explore what is possible and step into the future?

What's an artistic facilitator?
Artistic creative facilitators work with leaders, managers, teams, and individuals to develop creative confidence, capability, and wellbeing through arts-based aesthetic workshops. We apply our arts-based methodologies, such as images, stories, drawing, painting, music, nature, mindfulness, applied improvisation, play and journaling, to promote creative inquiry and professional artistry.
Why have a workshop?
Workshops allow participants to open up on issues and themes, rather than closing them down.
Our artistic approach to facilitating workshops encourages curiosity, thoughtful risk-taking, courage, a willingness to suspend judgement, and an ability to tolerate ambiguity, which further enables people to live and work well into the future.
