This is because it&rsquo;s a good way to gather a lot of ideas very quickly. It is also a great way of bringing people together and helping to build them as a team. Just imagine the effect on the team and its morale if ideas that they generate are actually used. There is no doubt that people are more likely to buy into the ideas that they came up with themselves.</p><p align="left" fr-original-style="" style="font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); box-sizing: border-box;">Although brainstorming is widely used for decision-making, it is not always handled very well. If that is the case, it can have the opposite effect to the one that is intended. Rather than creating ideas it can stifle them and rather than motivating people it demotivates them.</p><p align="left" fr-original-style="" style="font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); box-sizing: border-box;">This highly interactive course will help learners to make the most of brainstorming sessions and also provides alternative techniques to enliven any session that is beginning to flag.</p><p align="left" fr-original-style="" style="font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); box-sizing: border-box;">Topics covered:</p><ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">What is Brainstorming?</strong> &ndash; A discussion to help participants understand what brainstorming is, and what it involves.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Brainstorming rules</strong> &ndash; A quick look at the very limited rules suggested by Alex Osborn who is generally credited with being the inventor of brainstorming.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Preparation</strong> &ndash; Although many brainstorming sessions take place on the spur of the moment they all require some preparation.

Within the basic four colour energies are contained two sets of opposites.
Underlying each pair of opposites there is a TENSION.
This tension acts like a force, just like gravity. You cannot see it, you cannot hear it or touch it with your hands. You will, however, experience the impact of the tension.
We each make a choice in how we perceive this tension. We can choose to be proactive and use this tension to create win/win outcomes. We can choose to be reactive and disconnect from the energy viewing it as a negative.
The choice we make determines our results.
It is important to remember, we make our own choice. The person who represents your opposite energy is not responsible for your choice.
When you’re proactive in engaging with this tension you achieve successful dynamics. Become reactive with this tension and you will experience dysfunctional dynamics.

The Opposite Colour Energies
Blue & Yellow are Opposite Colours
The tension between Blue energy & Yellow energy is based around IDEAS and PROCESSES.
Red & Green are Opposite Colours
The tension between Red energy & Green energy is based around TASKS and PEOPLE.

ATC Training Limited

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) formerly known as PTLLS, has been designed to introduce teaching for individuals who aspire or currently work in adult education. This includes FE colleges, training providers, workplace training departments and/or Local Authorities. It is a nationally recognised qualification and is also often the preference for employers to source as an accredited train-the-trainer qualification. This qualification includes written assignments and a practical micro-teach session, which can be completed remotely.  

Online Remote Tutor-led Sessions

This version of the course allows you to attend two days of online sessions led by an experienced tutor. Then come back online 2-3 weeks later to deliver your micro-teach session to your peers. Use this gap in time to prepare your micro-teach and complete the written work for the qualification. This allows you to fully complete in as little as 2-3 weeks. The micro-teach date is flexible and you can also enrol for self-study learning if preferred.

Chynna Clayton Bio
Keynote Speaker
 

Empathetic, strategic, and meticulous about the details, Chynna Clayton has built a career enabling some of the world’s most influential leaders to excel in high-stress environments.
Chynna is the founder and CEO of Matriarch Made Development, a consulting firm that helps organizations develop high performing administrative teams and identify and address overall operating structure
and events logistics inefficiencies. From helping leaders figure out their onboarding, communication flow, event logistics and how to further develop the talents of their teams, Chynna supports leading organizations in creating a systematic approach to tackling business/events challenges and bottlenecks.
Prior to Matriarch Made, Chynna worked in the personal office of Barack and Michelle Obama as their Director of Travel and Event Operations. Her career also includes administrative roles at Disney and the White House where she served as “body woman” to Mrs. Obama during the Obama Administration.
Chynna graduated from University of Florida with a B.S. in Event Management and Political Science and a minor in Business. She currently resides in Washington, DC with her wife, Retired Naval Chief Petty Officer, Katina Hoyles.
Chynna was featured in Michelle Obama’s latest book, The Light We Carry

“She could adapt in all types of environments, remain­ing unflappable in the face of change. On any given day, I might go from having a conversation with a group of students at a school to filming a television show or recording a podcast. I could meet with a world leader or the head of a philanthropic organization and then have dinner with A-list celebrities. It was Chynna facilitating every move.”
