Too many people settle for decisions that seem “good enough”. Too many people are inefficient problem solvers.  Too many organizations leave potential untapped. Brainsprouting offers a comprehensive process for changing all of that.

In this workshop, authors Joel Hilchey and Brandon Love share their time-tested strategies for generating ideas and helping teams unlock their creative potential.

In a matter of minutes, you’ll have hundreds of new ideas to push your business forward. What’s more, you’ll have strategies and tools to build trust between team members, and you’ll have a mindset for possibilities that will help you navigate any individual or organizational challenge and grow your business.

Specifically you’ll learn:
-How to recognize the creative abilities in everyone you meet
-The guidelines of a brainsprouting session that make the space just right for ideas
-How subtle forms of judgment are blocking your creative flow, and how to open the floodgates
-How to transform any space to maximize creative output
-Facilitation techniques to maximize your team’s creativity
