Action plan

Action plan: how to be a more effective creative

  • Attendees will spend the last section of the day writing a tangible and practical action plan they can take back into their workplace to guide their day to day thinking and interactions

Please note: this course will involve some practical pre-work to bring to the session:

  • I love this: bring a piece of creative work that you love. It could be yours or someone else’s
  • Wow, that’s brave: bring a piece of creative work that demonstrates bravery or might have scared everyone to death
  • Out of the ordinary: before attending the course actively do something you’ve never done before. It doesn’t have to be sky-diving or shaving your head, but it could be watching a TV series or film that’s the complete opposite of your normal choice; visiting a venue or event you’d never normally go to; engage an individual or group in conversation that you’d never normally meet. Come prepared to share what you’ve learnt
