Workshops
Creative Problem-Solving Under Pressure
With two decades leading brand and creative strategy for companies like Charlotte's Web, Nokia, and The GRAMMYs, I understand how teams work—and what it takes to unlock their best thinking under pressure. These aren't lectures. They're working sessions designed to give your team practical new tools they'll actually use.
The Problem Solving Masterclass
This hands-on masterclass teaches your team structured creative techniques to solve problems, navigate uncertainty, and unlock fresh thinking when they're stuck.
What we'll cover:
Working with fear first: Easy steps to recognize when fear is blocking progress, and guidance on how to use it as valuable information
Creative thinking methods: A dive into formal problem-solving techniques that help attack problems from different angles, producing solutions in even the most bleak circumstances
Practical application: Your team will apply these tools to real projects, client challenges, or strategic roadblocks during the session
Perfect for: Corporate teams, leadership development, innovation programs, cross-functional teams facing complex challenges
Format: 90 minutes or half-day • Virtual or in-person
You'll get: Participant workbooks and reusable templates for brainstorming and decision-making your team can use long after the session
The outcome: A shared toolkit of creative problem-solving approaches and the confidence to use them when it matters most.
