4 STEPS 2 SUCCESS...

CREATIVE CONFIDENCE for DIVERSITY GROUPS

Our Creative Confidence workshops are designed for diversity groups who wish to develop more confidence in themselves through the opening up of innate creative energies. With today’s complex lifestyles, plans are secondary to the ability to improvise new solutions as fast as they are required to meet life goals.

Diversity groups include charities, young offenders, NHS trusts, indeed any group which has special needs not catered for by traditional one-size-fits-all training programmes.

Our workshop tool is the magic of comedy improvisation within our carefully constructed Model called 4 STEPS 2 SUCCESS.

So how does Improvisation Helps Creative Confidence?

Loosens up thinking, allowing new neural pathways to emerge in brain
Performing to an audience raises the arousal level to peak performance
Investing emotion in an improv game stretches boundaries of behaviour
Abstaining from judgement before speaking allows novel ideas to flourish
The improv mantra (“Yes, and…”) creates a constructive mindset and promotes a “Future Positive” outlook.
Embracing the chaos of an unplanned exchange with a team member promotes continuous discovery and develops awareness of new capabilities.
Newly discovered Creative Confidence Resources are unleashed.

 

What's the benefit of improvisation exercises and games to creativity?

Improvisational structures are governed by rules that require participants to accept and cooperate with each other, listen interactively, and jointly advance the action of a given task while continually supporting each other to be successful

Improvisation fosters successful collaboration. To succeed, participants must attend to their partners' communication and accept and build upon each other's actions while remaining as flexible as possible. As a result, everyone is empowered to interactively discover his or her inherent creative potential.
