What Hat to Wear – Creative Masterclass
What Hat to Wear – Creative Masterclass
Our Creative Masterclass is based on the fabulous work of the late Edward de Bono.
Creativity and quality thinking has never been easier!
By using a structured, disciplined and fun language for both individuals and teams you can dramatically increase effectiveness. This is realised by shifting a traditional approach of thinking about anything and everything at once to parallel exploration of a subject. Quality thinking doesn’t happen by chance.
You or your team can learn how to separate thinking into six distinct categories; each identified by its own coloured metaphorical ‘thinking hat’. By mentally wearing and switching ‘hats’, participants can easily focus or redirect thoughts, their conversations, design concepts, provide solutions and minimise meetings.
The Masterclass will:
- Move your thinking from traditional adversarial to co-operative thinking
- Redress the behavioural factors that impede successful teamwork
- Remove the politics from team decisions and meetings
- Provide a common language for you, your team and organisation
- Create dynamic, results-based thinking
- Reduce meeting times by up to 70%
- Solve problems more efficiently
- Ensure better quality decisions with a shared vision
- Co-create and build new concepts
Additional benefits
- Greater confidence in ‘self’
- A better understanding of processes and procedures
- Gratitude and value to the business
- Gain additional transferable skills
- Growth in business and in self
- Designed for: All Women wanting to be more effective, efficient and provide solutions
- Delivery: 1 day delivery (various permutations available)
- 12 month supporting package available, including peer to peer accountability, networking sessions and App with daily content

“We may analyse the past and present but we have to design the future – otherwise something or someone will do it for us…” - Dr Edward de Bono
We work with you, your team and your budget to maximise potential.
The 3 Essential Steps To Making Your Business More Creative
STEP 1 - MOTIVATION TO BE CREATIVE
Encourage the MOTIVATION to be creative - imperative within todays businesses. Your people need the freedom to have quality thinking time and the supportive space to be creative. To create a ‘motivational culture’ and/or micro-climate where creativity is expected to benefit the business. The most effective way to achieve this is to think TEAM:
T - Encourage and set aside TIME for creative thinking
E - Generate ENTHUSIASM by listening to others and appreciating suggestions and ideas
A - Change APPROACH by avoiding criticism and positively welcoming fresh thinking
M - MODEL the creative behaviours you desire from your team and workforce
STEP 2 - HABITS TO BE CREATIVE
Implementing tiny HABITS and making a creative effort supports the ability to think differently. Developing ‘habits of mind’ that increase creativity, think BAT:
BEING open to possibilities… (a possibility may be defined as ‘an untried idea’)
AVOIDING premature judgement of ideas and being less critical and more constructive
THINKING ‘conceptually’ and allowing the mind to ‘experiment’ with different concepts and likely outcomes
STEP 3 - TECHNIQUES TO BE CREATIVE
Developing easy to use TECHNIQUES to support creativity. Some struggle with new ideas, however our specific techniques encourage co-creativity to enrich business outcomes and outputs.
What Could Creativity Do For My Business?
- Access the minds and experience of your people to find new solutions to old problems
- Re-focus mindsets and seek new ways of doing something that may not have been considered
- Re-energise by changing normal routines and make real time and space for idea generation
- Involving everyone, builds trust, collaboration and engagement within the business
- Experience new concepts and choices for current business situations.
Over decades companies and organisations have used creative thinking as a tool to gain commercial advantage: The ubiquitous ‘Post-It’ note idea came from staff at 3M who had glue that wouldn’t set – and from it came ’repositionable glue’, the basis for the ‘Post-It’ note concept.

Working within your budget we develop individuals and teams/groups both virtually (current reality) and face to face, providing purpose for individuals and teams to manage momentum within and without the office environment.

WALKING WITH WOLVES™ REVISITED© - THE ‘EDGE’ YOU NEED TO BECOME AN EXCEPTIONAL LEADER
WALKING WITH WOLVES™ REVISITED© - THE ‘EDGE’ YOU NEED TO BECOME AN EXCEPTIONAL LEADER
With all the uncertainty currently regarding face-to-face interaction, why not make the most of our virtual delivery training interventions?
Supporting individuals, teams and businesses with purposeful and transformational leadership our women advancement programmes help you to focus on business momentum working towards a sustainable future.
Invest Today…
Due to popular demand, we are delighted to announce that we have revised the experience to bring the opportunity below to a much wider audience. This 2-day programme (4 half day workshops) is supported by a guest appearance from our wolf behaviourist expert alongside our specialist women advancement facilitators. If you are seeking to progress through the corporate pipeline this programme is for you.
Information
This powerful programme will enable women in business to acquire the skills, knowledge and aptitude, to provide them with the ‘edge’ to become exceptional leaders.
Women worldwide are nowhere near becoming equally represented in senior management roles in industry and commerce. Whether we are convinced that the ‘glass ceiling’ exists or not, women are faced with barriers that they need to break through. Without professional development, coaching and mentoring, most people adopt classic behavioural styles of management that suppress, stifle and control the very people they are supposed to be developing for the future.
This programme is aimed at developing the natural leadership qualities that lie within each of us, promoting self-belief and empowering women to become leaders in both public and private sectors, thus enabling them to motivate, inspire and be equipped to take their place in leading others.
Positive perceptions of women in the workplace will be critical for the future of public and private sector organisations and women, who understand that having achieved senior management or board room status, can only aspire other women to reach senior positions.
The key to great leadership is having an appreciation, understanding and knowledge around moral authority versus formal authority enabling women to be better placed to communicate an individual’s worth and potential.
Walking with Wolves™ Revisited® covers a wide range of topics, including the obstacles faced by women in leadership, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, the inner critic, assertiveness, diversity, changing behaviour and perceptions.
Key Learning
By looking at the similarities and matching the wolf pack existence to the behavioural characteristics of today’s successful businesswomen delegates will understand how:
- The Alpha plays a pivotal role in every pack controlling access to resources, benefitting from other pack members’ strengths and weaknesses to expertly influence situations and individuals.
- As leaders they are confident, socially intelligent, independent and good at turning a situation to their advantage.
- Examination of the Alpha wolf’s strategies provides real food for thought about the way delegates can usefully assert themselves when it matters.
- The wolf social group dynamics are then transferred to the workplace and leadership roles. Alpha leaders recognise the benefits and understand that leadership is open to greatness and once achieved can be cascaded to others. Great leaders become both coach and mentor.
Programme Navigation
The programme can be delivered virtually to teams at lunch time, half day sessions or any other permutation that supports your business and your people right here and right now! This affords delegates the unique experience of translating live business and personnel issues into the paradigm of the wolf and its group social structure and then relating the learning back into the corporate environment.
Why Wolves?
The nature of leadership in itself lends to understanding wolf behaviour. Wolves have been in existence for over a million years and they have demonstrated respect and trust and work ethics within their pack. The wolves adapt to their surroundings and survive by using their skills and capabilities to manage their existence.
Fundamental principles or natural laws create a basis of effective leadership on all levels including personal, business, family and community. Understanding their behaviour enables delegates to apply these basic principles for both the individual and their organisations making the difference needed for change. Today’s leaders face complex challenges including global economy, business and family instability and ever-increasing social and environmental problems.
Please get in touch and we can discuss a bespoke programme that meets your needs, company logistics and BUDGET!

THE LEGACY – ELDERSHIP FOR ALL JOURNEY TO MASTERING LEADERSHIP
THE LEGACY – ELDERSHIP FOR ALL JOURNEY TO MASTERING LEADERSHIP
A Masterclass Programme designed to develop the concept of the leadership journey (a further destination) – eldership, an empowering and fulfilling approach to leadership and life.
This programme has been developed to make the greatest positive impact people can in the organisation, community and in the world by discovering their life purpose and leading from their ‘best self’.
Participants will be enabled to:
- Discover the purpose that gives meaning to their life
- Explore and identify how they 'can be' and live from their creative highest/best self
- Explore what they want and know what their vision is
- Explore beliefs around their role in the organisation, family, community and the world
- Explore deep seated values – those things that are important to them
- Explore what it means to practice authentic and whole-hearted leadership
- Find their legacy – what will they leave behind for others?
‘Eldership for all’ Horizontal development is like pouring water into an empty glass and the vessel fills up. Vertical development aims to expand the glass’ (Kegan – ‘Immunity to Change’)
Leadership is a state of being, a continual process, a journey that never ends. It is a condition of growing and unfolding awareness about what it is to lead a life of meaning, purpose and service.
We advocate that leaders of this quality are what organisations, businesses, families and communities yearn for. It’s not enough to just focus on competencies and skills, important though they are. It’s not just about ‘horizontal development but also about vertical development, greater awareness of how to ‘be’ as well as more technical abilities about how to ‘do’. In fact, more technical abilities become available to us when we experience a growth in consciousness.
This leadership/eldership demonstrates a capability in people who have their feet on the ground, steady, strong, flexible, positivity coupled with an optimistic attitude. People who radiate a calm, peaceful yet playful energy no matter what life confronts them with. They are seen to be compassionate individuals even when challenging and confronting reactive, defensive, destructive, damaging words and behaviours – both in themselves and others. These are people with no hidden agenda and are non-judgemental. These individuals demonstrate whole-hearted authenticity in their words, actions, habits and character.
Mastery
We believe mastery is what sits behind the heart of great leadership. Without wholeheartedness even those leaders who appear on the outside to be successful can be toxic towards the people around them both in their professional and personal lives.
To define mastery of leadership – people who have completed the inner work to find their best or highest self so they can then discover their outer work. They seek to understand their purpose, their approach to life, their business, their family and business community.
The Programme Methodology
This 4-day programme (over a period of 4 months) is supported by individual 1-2-1 coaching session. It can be delivered virtually, face to face or blended to fit with today’s environment.

- Coaching
Methods and materials used would be designed to help raise personal awareness in participants. They would be encouraged, stretched and supported through personal coaching between modules to deepen their learning and take it back into their workplace and/or community. Depending on client context and circumstances the participants might be asked to do some pre-course reading and preparation.

Mastering Excellence – Paradigm Leadership
Mastering Excellence – Paradigm Leadership
Four distinct cores for the 21st Century Leader. This inner shift, from fighting the old to sensing and pre-sensing an emerging future possibility is at the core of all deep leadership work today.
It’s a shift that requires us to expand our thinking from the head to the heart. It is a shift from an ego system awareness that cares about the wellbeing of oneself to an eco-system that cares about the wellbeing of all, including oneself.
When operating with ego system awareness, we are driven by the concerns and intentions of our small ego self. When operating with eco-system awareness we are driven by the concerns and intentions of our emerging or essential self – that is by a concern that is informed by the wellbeing of the whole.
