The DIY Lobotomy creative thinking workshop
There’s an unprecedented need for fresh ideas in business. Having worked with over a 250,000 people world wide, we’ve discovered that what people know gets in the way of their ability to have open minds.
So we’ve developed a professional development workshop that helps people blast past their preconceptions. It’s called the Do-it-yourself Lobotomy. It’s a powerful stand alone program and the engine of virtually all the work we do.
Benefits of the DIY Lobotomy:
• helps participants gain a better understanding if how they think
• they’ll learn simple-to-use, practical skills to help them get fresh ideas when they need them
• they’ll become more prolific, nimble and resourceful creative thinkers and problem solvers
• participants will be less likely to fall back on old ideas and old thinking patterns
How the DIY Lobotomy works.
While you’re designing chicken salad sandwiches without bread, you’ll be learning the value of problems as opportunities to stretch your mind. Later you’ll think you’re conceiving ways to make elevators “wrong”, but you’ll really be practicing 180º THINKING™, a process that challenges conventional wisdom to open up a powerful new realm of creative possibilities.
This is fun. This is, “now I get it!” This is The Do-It-Yourself Lobotomy, Before & After’s highly-acclaimed creative thinking workshop.
Why the DIY Lobotomy works.
Sure, we’re all capable of coming up with ideas. And we’re all able to solve problems, too. But do we really understand how we do it? Do we truly comprehend the process of creative thinking and problem solving, so we’re able to turn the idea faucet on and come up with more, bigger, better ideas on cue, consistently, with little anguish?
The secret to coming up with huge, fresh, business- building ideas is not to come up with the same old ideas you and others have thought of 1,000 times before. So, the secret isn’t knowing more, it’s letting go of what you know - your preconceptions - so you can have a better idea. The secret is, of course, performing our Do-It-Yourself Lobotomy.
This fast-paced, precept-shattering workshop isolates the basics of creative thinking into easily understood fundamentals. Much of it is a big, “ah ha!” And then there are the things that most people in business already do on their best days, but don’t understand well enough to do consistently. This proven professional development program emphasizes practical skills and tools that you can apply immediately and utilize long term. The program is so much fun and so interactive it’s as much team-building as professional development program.
Ongoing support for 20 business days.
To help your people sustain the workshop’s benefits, and significantly leverage your investment in this process, we offer a month-long, follow-up program, via email, at no additional fee. For 20 business days following the workshop every participant from your company will receive a helpful, inspirational “Creative Thinking Tip of the Day.” Our clients tell us this aspect of our program extends the valuable insights, and ingrains the new beliefs and practices indefinitely.
