"I loved the variety of techniques and found I could apply most to my day to day work. I’m so glad I came today. My creative confidence has been restored, I was surprised at just how creative I can be!
What You Will Learn
But I’m just not very creative. Can you really help me to have more and better ideas?
Emphatically yes! The world is not divided into the creative haves and have-nots! We guarantee you will learn new ways to be creative whatever the challenge.
Time is often cited as a key barrier to creativity. Our Creative Ninjas leave knowing how to generate ideas quickly – and you’ll learn 10 killer ways to get creative juices flowing quickly.
We are running our next open courses in central London in February and June 2019 for individuals to attend and will equip you with tools, techniques and confidence! Places are limited to 16 and we always sell out. Recent attendees include Disney, Pizza Express, Sony, Investec and HSBC.
Take Creative Ninjas along with Brilliant Brainstorm Facilitation – a course for anyone who has to regularly run creativity sessions and brainstorms and get the most of out of their teams. Great facilitators can foster trust and openness, involve everyone, adapt to different styles and make it fun and ok to take risks. Our world-class trainers have trained armies of people in facilitation skills.
This course has been taken by Creative Directors as well as TV Producers, PR’s and Digital teams and usually runs as an open training the day after the Creative Ninjas course so you can learn skills and tools, then practice them in small groups. People love the new skills, practice and feedback they receive. See the full course outline here Open Training Flyer June & October 2019
