Inspired by creative thinking pioneers such as Edward de Bono (invented lateral thinking), Arthur Koestler (wrote the epic ‘The Act of Creation’), Tony Buzan (invented mindmapping), Alex Obsorn (pioneered brainstorming) and many others. Enabled by years of strategy and change consultancy experience. Creative Encounters takes all the seriousness of the approaches to creative thinking and organisational change but puts a great deal of fun and personality behind it. We make training events sizzle!

We believe people learn best when they are enjoying themselves and lessons are taken in organically. Learning new skills shouldn’t be tough, dry or heaven forbid boring. Creative Encounters promotes learning through doing... and remembering through doing differently!

Creativity is very closely related to humour. They both generate new ways of seeing something through clashing contexts, looking at the opposites, plays on words, exaggeration and so on. In fact, the best ideas often grow from a humorous premise. So humour is not only our way of making training more enjoyable but a core function in our creative learning process.

We also make events fun by awarding prizes for creative efforts e.g. the most interesting or silliest ideas and we impose hilariously embarrassing forfeits for anyone that breaks the creative spirit by being negative or defeatist. Access is given to resources following the event that keep the message alive and inspire people to build on their creative skills.

Creative Encounters runs range of structured organisation training workshops, but is equally at home creating bespoke events. We teach adaptability and like to embody it!
