CREATIVE THINKING

Imagine a world where you are free to think, dream and imagine like a child. Creative thinking workshops help you break free of ‘normal’ thinking patterns and empower you with the confidence to devise, develop and implement new ideas.

Kids learn best when they’re having fun and playing, so why can’t we? My workshops are energetic, immersive, inspiring and always bring great results for creative teams or people brand new to creative thinking.

These workshops are particularly popular for team-building, start-ups and budding entrepreneurs.

Creative thinking clients include BBC Television, Endemol Shine, The Association of Photographers, The Royal Opera House and start-up entrepreneurs.

NLP / CBT therapy

• realise your ambitions

Neruo Linguistic Programming and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are fast and effective methods to transform how you think, feel, act and respond to the world. By understanding the links between thoughts and actions, we can break negative patterns and re-align your perception to build confidence, re-think old cycles or negative behaviour and break free of issues that can cause anxiety and fear. With a new set of stackable skills you can apply anywhere in your life, these talking and action therapies contribute towards a more peaceful, mindful, fulfilling and empowering life.

Sessions often involve practicing new techniques out of the consultancy room, depending on the issues we’re working on.

“Breaking the negative thinking/destructive action pattern has transformed my world. Thank you.”

BUILDING YOUR BRAND

• discover your unique selling point

• create a consistent business model

• build your teams, ideas and profits

In a world where everybody is competing for visibility, difference, value and authenticity, creating your personal brand is crucial. First we figure out what you’re good at and what you want to do for a living, then we create your social platform, collaborate with like-minded people who can help move your brand forward, demonstrate your value system, website, contact database, and away you go.

Once you’re up and running, mentorship helps keep you focused, goal-driven and motivated.

We can also refer you to other professionals to help design, build and maintain your brand after we’ve worked on exactly what it is you’re hoping to achieve.

“Your fresh approach and energy made us relevant and modern - fantastic.”

MEDIA TRAINING

• advanced communication skills

• stay on focus, on message and make yourself memorable

• unleash your inner media pro

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the microphone and camera, media training will help build your confidence, deliver your message concisely and clearly, and teach you how to navigate your way through the nerves that come with the spotlight, allowing you to stay focused. No matter the content, media training will help you find your voice and tone to inspire confidence and trust. Even if you’ve been thrown into the spotlight over negative press coverage, media training will help deal with difficult questions, manage press situations and allow you to stay focused and in control.

We often bring in TV journalists, presenters and media professionals to offer insights and practical advice as necessary.

“Thank you for keeping us focussed and on track when the press was trying to tear us down.”

MENTAL HEALTH

• develop and maintain a healthy work ethic

• ensure positive mental health models for yourself, your teams and your clients & customers

• happy people create greatness

Forming good habits will improve your mental and physical health. Good diet, exercise, self compassion and mindful thinking are all important to build into your daily routine. We will work out a set of achievable goals and targets that will prove that you are taking care of yourself. By talking and sharing regularly, you can make sure that your mental health is in ‘thrive’ rather than ‘survive’ mode.

These workshops are very popular with people-focussed companies who value their staff and the wellbeing of customers and consumers.
