Creativity stands at the heart of the music and entertainment industries – for both its artists and its creators/facilitators – and yet can be notoriously difficult to deliver or manage.

In an uncertain and fast-changing world the capacity to harness, deliver, and manage creativity has never been more important.

This workshop demystifies the steps for anyone to ‘be more creative’, and equips participants with proven tools and techniques to maximise their creative capacities, beat procrastination and self-doubt, and deliver their best work.

Participants will learn:

It’s not enough to just be ‘good’ anymore. You need to be your best, to strive for excellence, and to do so on a regular basis. You need to produce, and at a high level.

We’ve all experienced those times when we’ve been operating at our best: ideas flow, the presentation is flawless, and we seem to produce great work effortlessly. However, these moments are often fleeting before we return to earth with a bump.

This workshop will help you discover what your best looks like and understand the elements that lead to this state, allowing you to recreate it more regularly.
