Creativity Training

Creativity is not just about generating ideas — it’s about unlocking new ways of thinking, solving problems, and driving innovation that delivers measurable results. I provide creativity training that empowers individuals and teams to think differently, work smarter together, and adapt to change with confidence.

My Approach

  I use the FourSight tool to help participants understand their natural preferences in the creative problem-solving process — clarifying, ideating, developing, and implementing. By identifying strengths and blind spots, I equip teams to collaborate more effectively and speed up innovation.

  As a certified NBI® practitioner, I facilitate sessions that uncover thinking preferences and cognitive diversity within teams. This knowledge allows leaders and teams to harness different perspectives, reduce conflict, and enhance creative synergy.

Problem-Solving Workshops

Every business faces challenges — but how teams approach those challenges determines whether they stagnate or thrive. My problem-solving workshops equip individuals and teams with practical tools and collaborative strategies to solve problems creatively, effectively, and sustainably.

My Approach

FourSight® and NBI® Tools

To unlock the full potential of individuals and teams, I use two internationally recognised tools — FourSight® Creative Thinking System and Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI®). These frameworks provide deep insights into thinking preferences, creative strengths, and problem-solving styles, enabling organisations to build more effective, innovative, and collaborative teams.

FourSight® Creative Thinking Profiles

FourSight helps teams understand how they naturally engage with the creative problem-solving process:

• Clarifiers ask the right questions and frame challenges accurately.

• Ideators generate bold and imaginative ideas.

• Developers refine and strengthen ideas into practical solutions.

• Implementers take action and drive solutions forward.

By mapping these preferences across a team, I help organisations:

• Improve collaboration by reducing tension between different working styles.

• Speed up the innovation process by aligning strengths with project stages.

• Build self-awareness that enhances individual and team effectiveness.

Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI®)

The NBI® is a world-leading brain profiling tool that reveals how people prefer to think, learn, and make decisions. It identifies four key thinking dimensions — analytical, practical, relational, and imaginative.

I use NBI® profiles to:

• Enhance communication and teamwork by appreciating diverse perspectives.

• Help leaders adapt their approach to inspire and engage different team members.

• Build a culture where cognitive diversity is recognised as a strength, driving better solutions and innovation.

Why These Tools Matter

When organisations understand how their people think and solve problems, they can unlock higher levels of creativity, innovation, and performance. My role is to facilitate this process — turning individual insights into collective power.
