Staying ahead in life and business requires more than just expertise—it demands the ability to push beyond the conventional and embrace what some call “moonshot thinking” or radical, groundbreaking ideas. This fast-paced, immersive workshop is designed to push you beyond your comfort zone, encouraging you to explore new possibilities by addressing your most pressing challenges and ambitions. Together, we’ll explore the “five lenses” (negative space, thinking sideways, thinking backward, rethinking, and parkour), a powerful set of creativity and innovation tools designed to break you free from routine thinking and help you approach problems with fresh, new perspectives. Through dynamic individual and group exercises, you'll discover how each lens can spark disruptive ideas—innovative solutions that challenge the status quo—and elevate your problem-solving skills. Whether you're navigating decision-making roadblocks or generating out-of-the-box solutions, this course will equip you with the strategies to tackle challenges with renewed creativity. By the end of the workshop, you'll have transformed “possibility thinking” into a powerful habit, boosting your capacity for innovation and driving better outcomes in both your personal and professional life.
