  • Make sense of innovation and align and position it strategically and systemically, in your unique context.
  • See your world with fresh eyes to become creative thinkers, decision-makers, and problem solvers.
  • Hit your pause button, step back, and slow down by paying attention, observing, reflecting, and rebooting to shift mindsets and emerge new insights, possibilities, and breakthrough ideas.
  • Nurture your curiosity and imagination by knowing how to safely use creative tension and cognitive dissonance as a source of creative energy.
  • Discover unexpected patterns and connections to maximize differences and diversity in groups and teams.
  • Experiment, learn by failing (safely), iterate, and pivot to turn promising and moonshot ideas into workable, and commercially innovative solutions that add value to the quality of your people’s lives.
  • Mobilize your people to tolerate uncertainty, steer past obstacles, become change-ready and receptive, and build collaborative teams, networks, and ecosystems. Find out more.

Reference Riding the Creative Rollercoaster by Dr Nick Udall

“A coach can play any number of roles-mentor, consultant, motivator, but one things she is not is a therapist. Coaching deals with the “how”: how you move from where you are and make change. It’s action oriented and concerned with the present and future not the past.”  Shape Magazine
