<h2>Creativity for Logical Thinkers</h2><p>Managers and staff in every forward-thinking organisation need to generate new ideas, products, services and processes if they're to maintain their competitive edge. This means that creativity and innovation aren't simply nice-to-have skills - they're essential for success at every level in every organisation. While some people seem 'naturally' creative, in reality innovative thinking can be developed by anyone. This workshop provides a great introduction to the creative process for people who typically work in a more logical way. Participants have lots of opportunities to use proven techniques on their own real work problems and situations. They learn how to challenge existing thinking and generate new ideas - and how to make sure the best of them are captured and implemented.</p><h3>Learning Objectives</h3><p>By the end of this session participants will:</p><ul><li>Understand how the brain shapes our approaches to creativity and innovation</li><li>Have learned some creative techniques they can use to produce new and innovative ideas</li><li>Be able to develop their work through 1% improvements and marginal gains</li><li>Know how to help develop a culture of creativity and innovation in the organisation</li><li>Have increased confidence in their ability to be creative</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, the brain and creativity and innovation</h3><p>Welcome to the virtual session. How the brain works - left and right brain thinking. Facts and research from neuroscience on how our brains 'do' creativity. Freeing yourself from a totally 'rational' approach. Understanding the difference between convergent and divergent thinking. Exploration of 'disruptors' like Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Apple. Agenda and objectives using 'chat'.</p><h3>The Disney strategy</h3><p>A colleague of Disney's used to say, 'There were actually three different Walts: the dreamer, the realist, and the spoiler'. Introduction to the NLP Model 'The Disney Strategy'. It gives logical thinkers a structured process for approaching situations in a new way. Overview of the model and group discussion about how it could be applied in their typical work activities. How to overcome blocks and unleash your imagination.</p><h3>Harnessing the 'dreamer'</h3><p>Challenging the status quo gives you and your company a competitive advantage. Using a series of whole group scenario discussions using 'mic', visual whiteboard activities and virtual break-out rooms, participants practise 'suspending logic' to try different brainstorming activities focussed around methods including post-its, random words, negative brainstorming, mind-mapping, storyboarding and blue-sky brainstorming.</p><h3>Kai-zen and aggregation of marginal gains</h3><p>Encouraging 1% improvements and innovation through marginal gains. The concept of Kai-zen and how this can be applied in any role, anywhere in the business. Individual reflection activities.</p><h3>Developing a culture of creativity</h3><p>Reflection on current culture and discussion of plans for bringing creativity more into the workplace, whatever their role.</p><h3>Action plans and next steps</h3><p>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person makes a commitment for what they will do differently in a group whiteboard which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.</p>

<h2>Creativity (Advanced)</h2><p>In an era of rapid change, organisations need their staff to be creative and innovative. This isn't just a matter of what we do but of how we do it - creativity is just as much a feature of 'boring' management process flows as 'exciting' product development. This interactive session builds on the participants' existing experience and knowledge of creativity in a masterclass structure that focuses on drawing from some of the most up-to date techniques from a variety of industries.</p><h3>Learning Objectives</h3><ul><li>Understand how the brain shapes our approaches to creativity and innovation</li><li>Develop your work through 1% improvements and marginal gains</li><li>Know how to help foster a culture of creativity and innovation</li><li>Breaking the limits using creative processes</li><li>Boost your confidence in your creative abilities</li></ul><section>

Group discussion via 'mic'. Participants will already have a variety of creativity skills and approaches they can use. Participants learn how others approach creativity. The facilitator highlights the techniques participants have been using either consciously or unconsciously. Refresher on the brainstorming techniques covered in 'Creativity for Logical Thinkers'.</p><h3>Harnessing 'chance'</h3><p>Creativity often comes from adversity.

<h2>How to Present a Webinar</h2><p>Some of the greatest presenters we know struggle to have the same impact when delivering their presentations virtually.</p><p>You'll see people who are normally hugely charismatic slumped over laptops, or people ploughing through dozens of slides because they struggle without being able to &amp;'read' the audience. In the past webinars and presenting via videoconference were less common than face-to-face and we made allowances, but as the world is changing and video presentations have become part of everyday life, audiences are expecting more.</p><p>This practical session gives key tips on how to adapt your presentational strengths to a web environment, engage the audience, maintain structure and get across key messages.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Understand the behaviours of great webinar presenters</li><li>Be able to structure your content to manage your audience's engagement</li><li>Manage your body language and voice effectively</li><li>Know how to get the level of detail right</li><li>Ensure your key messages get across</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3><p>What are the behaviours of great virtual presenters? Welcome, agenda, objectives.</p><h3>Knowing your purpose</h3><p>Getting a clear idea of what you're looking to communicate in the presentation and what you want to achieve. Is it an update, a training course, a sales presentation? Being really clear helps you to make decisions about what to say and what to leave out.</p><h3>The three channels of presenting</h3><p>When we communicate, we're in control of three channels: how we sound, what we say and what we show. When we work virtually this can mean we're either using three channels or two (telecon). What are the positive behaviours for each channel? What can get in the way? Using your voice to maximise engagement. Practice from a member of the group - with feedback.</p><h3>Clear and concise</h3><p>It can be easy when presenting virtually to &amp;'fill the silence'. Techniques for &amp;'reading' an audience you can't see, staying clear and using language to convey credibility.</p><h3>Using visual aids</h3><p>Whether to use whiteboards, PowerPoint, flipcharts or no visual aids depends a lot on the kind of presentation. How to use each effectively.</p><h3>Action plans and next steps</h3><p>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person makes a commitment for what they will do differently in a group whiteboard which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.</p><h3>Close</h3>
