Creative minds are wonderfully enigmatic and...different.
So then, how does a firm cultivate a culture within which innovative, inventive, original ideas percolate?
Many companies and organizations don’t have access to tools and programs attuned to the specific needs of creatives.
The result?
Missed deadlines. Functioning at different tempos than their colleagues. Creative Blocks.
Running down rabbit holes in search of Brilliant Solutions. Creative stand-offs.
In this seminar, Colleen presents a proven method through which creatives learn to take control of their time, plan their deliverables, and meet timelines. In each step, Colleen includes key learnings, tips and tricks culled from her years of using and teaching this approach. The bottom line: It works. Creatives take charge of their time, reduce stress, increase productivity and deliver great work on time.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
“We approached Colleen about sharing her Time Management system as a speaker for The Side Show’s “Creative Week” because we knew it would benefit all types of Creatives who have full time jobs and side projects. As a working creative, Colleen knows exactly what goes through the mind of creatives trying to balance the load and is able to clearly address the challenges with easy-to-implement solutions.”
This workshop focuses on turning adversity into advantage. Most creatives can relate to having thoughts pile on top of each other when the mental faucet is fully open. With high levels of productivity, the pendulum often swings to a darker side of creative paralysis or mental shutdowns. These characteristics do not define who we are, but when harnessed and managed, they can be kept from swinging too far in either direction and used as a kind of super power. Make the most of the differences in your brain without letting the “moody tiger” take control.
In the competitive world of creative fields, the meaning of success can be skewed in a way that distracts from what is really important in life. Do you live to see your name on a campaign? Is your self worth as a creative based on a level of industry recognition? Can a loss send you spiraling into a well of jealousy or self doubt. All of these things can affect not only your view of success, but your mental well-being in general. Join Colleen for a workshop of self-awareness and learn how to make adjustments to the way you view your work and your life as a creative.
