Creative Shift: Unlock New Solutions Through Visual Thinking

Using Colour, Shapes & Lines to Solve Problems and Spark Ideas

"Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way." – Edward de Bono

A Unique Method for Unlocking Insight and Innovation

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck on a challenge? Struggling to see fresh solutions? Creative Shift offers a one-of-a-kind, visual approach to problem-solving, helping you and your team uncover new insights through colour, shape, and line—no art skills required!

This interactive, hands-on workshop draws from:

  • Clean Coaching Practices – A structured approach that encourages fresh perspectives without assumptions.

  • Transformational Life Coaching – Tools to help reframe challenges and create meaningful breakthroughs.

  • Art Education & Visual Thinking Techniques – Engaging the brain in a different way to unlock creativity and problem-solving agility.

  • Mindfulness & Deep Focus – Cultivating awareness, calm, and clarity for better decision-making.

  • Curiosity-Led Exploration – Encouraging playfulness and discovery through structured exercises.

  • Hands-On Creativity – Using physical materials like paper, pens, and colour for a more focused, immersive experience.

How It Works – A Unique, Multi-Disciplinary Process

This process helps you:

  • Step outside habitual thinking patterns through visual exploration.

  • Engage in guided mark-making and reflective prompts to access new perspectives.

  • Move away from overthinking and allow intuitive problem-solving to emerge.

  • Discover unexpected connections and solutions through a non-linear, creative approach.

The workshop is screen-free during key activities, encouraging deep focus while still being fully accessible for remote participants. Even in an online setting, participants work with physical materials, reinforcing creativity and engagement.

Why a Hands-On, Tactile Approach to Problem-Solving?

In a world increasingly dependent on digital tools, this workshop shifts the focus to a tactile, hands-on approach, creating space for deeper thinking, focus, and clarity.

  • Reduces Cognitive Overload – Stepping away from screens fosters deeper, more reflective thinking.

  • Strengthens Focus & Engagement – Drawing and mark-making create stronger cognitive connections.

  • Encourages Creative Flow – Unstructured, analogue tools allow ideas to develop organically, without rigid templates or digital constraints.

  • Supports Remote & Hybrid Teams – While the workshop may be facilitated online, the physical act of working with materials enhances team participation.

Unlike traditional brainstorming or structured digital tools, this approach removes the pressure of “thinking in words”and allows ideas to emerge visually, making problem-solving more fluid and dynamic.

Who Is This For?

  • Leaders & Innovators – Develop a new lens for tackling complex challenges.

  • Teams & Organisations – Strengthen collaboration and creative problem-solving.

  • L&D & HR Professionals – Foster adaptability, engagement, and creative thinking.

  • Anyone Facing a Mental Block – A fresh way to move from stuck to solution.
