duration: one day

The basic premise of this workshop is that before someone can change their thinking they need to be able to experience different types of thinking. The workshop is designed to allow people to change the way they think whenever they want to.

Firstly we look at how we think and how conventional mind sets can limit us. We talk about how shifts in thinking occur and enable attendees to experience the process. This means that in the future they can choose to follow a train of thought without being blocked by their conventional thinking and conditioning.

We discuss how words affect thinking processes and give some practical examples for opening up our own and other people's thinking whenever we want to.

This workshop will give attendees a number of techniques to help open up their thinking. It also allows them to experience the process so that they can recognise it in the future.

There will also be time to apply these approaches to real life situations that are currently of interest to your company. 

At the end of this workshop attendees will:

• recognise when their thinking is blocked
• know how to unblock their thinking so that they can:

• identify new opportunities for their organisation
• identify new and more effective ways of doing things
• generate really high quality ideas
• help unblock other people's thinking 

• have learned how to use some new idea generation techniques
• understand how language affects idea generation
• applied these approaches to some topical work issues
