Workshop: The Creative Flow: How to Get it Fast!

Marilyn Atkinson, Ph.D.
The Creative Flow- How to Get It Fast?

What kinds of Solution-Focused approaches assist people to quickly relax, and to open the mind to visualizing many types of useful choice and change possibilities? What approaches get the creative juices flowing quickly?
In this workshop we will demonstrate some strong Solution-Focused questioning approaches and how to use them with executives and their teams. We will explore eight areas of systemic Solution-Focused thinking that create highly useful organizational mindscapes to trigger both focus and vision. We will explore some easy ways to create a vision that builds on system thinking, different types of creative purpose, key points of view, and levels of detail, so that people meld credible maps. The work also ties into current brain research on neurotransmitters, vision, and futures thinking.
