Introduction
Today’s leaders require a whole new set of skills to be effective in the modern world. According to social theorist Dan Pink and others, leaders need right brain capacities like creativity and the ability to see the whole, tell a story, synthesize information and connect with meaning.

Drawing on 15 years experience in training creativity leaders internationally, Partnership for Youth Empowerment – PYE Global – in association with the School of Inspired Leadership – SOIL – is offering a 1 day workshop on ‘Building Inspired Leaders at your Workplace through Creativity’.

This workshop will provide a framework for understanding the new demands for creative leadership. It gives participants strategies and practice sessions for developing these capacities within themselves and in teams.

Participants learn

• Arts-base activities to enliven learning, deepen reflection, and build strong teams

• How to create safe environments for innovation

Participants who complete this training build confidence in their own creative abilities and gain experience using a toolkit of techniques for bringing vibrancy into their teams.
