The
Creativity Workshop changed me forever and moved me forward
in managing my companies. The Creativity Workshop is far above all
the other creative seminars I've taken in its inspiration, positive
spirit, and techniques for nurturing creativity. This workshop is important
for anyone who wants to develop their creativity in their personal
or business life.
Barbara Roberts, CEO, Acoustiguides, New York
City
This
stuff WORKS! The Workshop showed me how to apply my natural
creative talents in the workplace. I have already used free-writing
and free-drawing exercises in business applications to jump-start a
team in solving a time-sensitive problem.
Bill English, Management Consultant, Chick-Fil-A
Restaurants, Atlanta
The
workshop was amazing! Through the exercises I was put in touch with
long-forgotten events of my youth. I learned new ways to access my memory
and how to uncover unexpected relationships in my ideas. An excellent
investment indeed and so much fun! William E. Avera, Ph.D, CFA, Economic
Consultant, Dripping Springs, TX
I
learned how to get back to that "fun" part of writing at
the Workshop. Because I write for a living, I had forgotten how to write
for fun. Writing without rules or consequences -- letting words and ideas
spill out -- taking off the handcuffs I've been wearing in my corporate
life. The bonus for me was exploring my creativity in other ways: drawing--to
learn how my hand moves; photography-- to learn how to see differently;
working with classmates to learn how to collaborate. All this on a Greek
Island!
Amy White, Vice President, Internal Corporate Communications, Cardinal
Health, OH
I
was a participant in your Paris workshop about 5 years ago. I truly
cherish the memory of that wonderful week with you and our group. Thank
you for the confidence you gave me and permission to create something
new! After 15 years, I finally finished my book, Staying Healthy in Sick
Organizations. In writing this book, when I would get stuck, I would
imagine myself back in the workshop doing our visualization and free-form
writing and drawing exercises. Somehow, that would get my mind flowing
again.
Kathleen A. Paris, Ph.D, Business Consultant
The
Creativity Workshop teaches techniques not taught in schools, which
are essential for creative thinking. They are also priceless when applied
to the creative process of living.
Katie McCann, Trainer, London, United Kingdom
The
Creativity Workshop showed us new ways to be creative to meet
multiple business needs. Our team is stronger and deeper after this
experience. We can't believe how much we accomplished while at the
same time having fun.
Lia van Braaten and the Members of the Global
Design Division, Procter & Gamble, Division
Too
often in the workplace, a fear of being judged, of failure, or
of appearing foolish stifles our most creative thinking. The Creativity
Workshop showed me how to examine, then overcome my personal insecurities.
Now I am contributing with more freedom, boldness and confidence than
ever before.
Barbara Bazaldua, Director of Editorial,
Disney Consumer Products, Anaheim, CA
The
Workshop helped me expand my views on myself and my creativity.
Most importantly, the Workshop taught me about creative structure. Through
the gentle guidance of the instructors and through the trusting forum
created by the group, I found my route.
Claudine O'Leary. Entrepreneur, London, United Kingdom
This
was my fourth time taking the Creativity Workshop, and every
time it has been different and special. These workshops have helped
me transformed my life.
Kelly Hevel, ex-Pfizer Project Manager, Ex-pat
Business Consultant, Istanbul, Turkey
The
Workshop was such a powerful experience for me, something I never
expected nor would I ever be able to repeat it.
Rolfe Werner, Engineer, Canberra, Australia
If
your creativity needs a shot in the arm, a whack in the side of the
head or a kick in the backside do the Creativity Workshop. Why? Four
reasons really: 1.The Instructors - welcoming, passionate, talented and
committed to drawing out the best in people. 2.The process and tools
- challenging and at the same time empowering and illuminating. 3.Time
- to take a block of time from my busy schedule to focus on developing
me and my creativity. There is no way I would do that in my everyday
life. 4.The environment and other participants - challenging, supportive,
each on individual journeys but leaving open the opportunities for paths
to cross and to learn from and with each other. It was great.
Wayne Morris, Director of Future Edge - Organizational Improvement Consultancy,
New Zealand
Your
Workshop was faithful to every word of its description. Workshops
are often misrepresented when marketers attempt to hook as many participants
as possible. Not this one! Your planning, experience, talent, and dedication
create a wonderful flow. I left inspired and energized.
Steve Adams, Small Business Owner, Nacogdoches,
TX
The
Workshop practices are easy to remember and can be used on an ongoing
basis to continue to stimulate creativity. The class was well-paced and
offered a lot of ingenious techniques to spark creativity. It was good
to see the teamwork between Alejandro and Shelley and to experience their
different approaches. I especially liked the good mix of folks who participated
in the workshop.
Noemi Santana, OD/HR/C & Govt Rel. Consultant,
TANA Communications, NY
The
workshop was truly amazing. I walked into it not knowing what to
expect and I came out with so many great tools. I'm not a writer per
se but I was thrilled by the imagination I discovered was within me.
The bonus was the group itself. I made so many great travel buddies.
A wonderful experience from start to finish.
Jamie Rotman, President, DesignersCenter.com, Worcester, MA
The
workshop was a wonderful and a worthwhile experience and very satisfying
in every way. The group was dynamic and the material was presented in
a beautifully orchestrated and well-planned way.
Sara Waskuch, Interior Designer, Morrisville, VT
Thank
you for a wonderful experience!
Mike Corum, Director, Vermeer Mfg. Co., Pella, IA
I
came back so energized and excited about writing my book. Thank you
so much for your encouragement and sharing so generously of yourselves.
Kathleen Paris, Ph.D., Sr. Consultant, Office of Quality Improvement,
University of Wisconsin Madison
The
exercises helped me to explore my creative side, which in my current
profession, I don't get to do very often. I highly recommend this workshop
for people who are just beginning to explore their creative talents.
Rencher Gutteridge, Field Operations, Chick-fil-A, Inc., Atlanta, GA
The
Workshop allowed me for the first time to really hear my own voice and find a way of expressing it in a way that has been so freeing. From
the work we did, I now have loads of snippets from which to continue
to write and explore. I see this workshop as a transition point in my
life where a new and more powerful way of being will come in to its own.
I met some fantastic fellow participants.
Nikki Kearns, Director, CRM Standard Bank, South Africa
The
Workshop was wonderful and made even more inspiring by the magnificent
setting of Barcelona. Since the class, I find myself thinking about creativity
every day.
Cherie Martin, Project Manager, MIT, Cambridge, MA
Shelley
and Alejandro take you on an adventure that ignites your creative
spirit and opens you to greater choices in your life! We were encouraged
to see, smell, taste, feel Dublin as a creative task. A journey of co-creation
with strangers who became friends. A journey that makes you see life
in a whole new way.
Rita Haque, Branding and Marketing, Haq Centre, Singapore
Thank
you for the illuminating experience of your Creativity Workshop in Dublin. Even though I've resumed my usual busy working day, I have
already put into practice the Workshop's daily practice-- taking 20 minutes
to write in my notebook and take a little mental journey away from my
business. Your warmth towards us all and your love for what you are doing
made for a truly nurturing ambiance.
Judy Spenser-Morris, Designer, Property Developer, Newmarket, United
Kingdom
I
have wonderful memories of the Workshop. Listening to our calm, wise,
and inspiring instructors, sharing stories with one and all, feeling
energized and relaxed at the same time. Florence is an exceptional venue!
Greta Thomas, Marketing Officer, City of Wodonga, Victoria, Australia
The
workshop was brilliant. Shelley and Alejandro did a great job engaging
everyone and inspiring us to create from our own experiences.
Pamela Scholl, Coordinator, Saint Louis University School of Law, MO
I
started as a skeptic, and ended up committed to coming back for more!
I began the course drawing a tiny gray squiggle and ended up entirely
covering a 10ft x 2ft scroll in rich colour and story! Everyone I worked
with was making similar giant strides in their ability to express and
communicate their own personal vision.
Charles Houghton, ACII, Chartered Insurer, Norwich, United Kingdom.
Shelley
and Alejandro started the wheels turning for me. I've been talking
for years about writing "my book" but it was all talk and no
action. This class taught me valuable techniques to get over writer's
block. It is no longer something I fear as I've gained practical tools
to work through it. I also great people at the Workshop and had a lot
of fun. Hats off to Shelley and Alejandro for their wisdom, patience,
and guidance.
Diane Pick, President, Negotiation Mastery, Inc., New York City
The
Creativity Workshop is one of the best ways to discover a new city.
Exploring our creative spirits each evening opened my visual and kinesthetic
senses for the following day. The participants were wonderful. They warmly
shared their personal lives through the creative writing and drawing
exercises.
Nancy Welch, President, Welch Design Group, Madison, WI
The
teachers are brilliant at making one feel you're the only person
being attended to.
Pauline Crawford, Business Psychologist and
Image Consultant, Corporate Heart London, UK
Thanks
very much for an excellent workshop. Your workshop provided
new ideas for how to evolve individual creativity into creative collaboration.
Since returning from our workshop we’ve designed a collaborative wall
in the office for sharing and extending creative ideas as a team. As
instructors you and Alejandro were skilled facilitators with a wealth
of expertise and knowledge that inspired students without overwhelming
or intimidating. It was a great experience for my team and one that
I know will improve our marketing efforts overall but also felt like
a reward to all who attended. Well done and thanks.
