Description:
Remember when you would sit in the sand as a kid and make all sorts of things? Sand castles, pirate ships, the sky was truly the limit. But then one day we wake up and feel stuck in the constraints that are around us, leaving us little room to do anything outside of the confines of our daily routines. The obvious solutions seem to be work harder, get up earlier, be more productive, nose to the grindstone, but what if the answer wasn’t that clear? According to research published in Perspectives on Psychological Science, play at work is linked to less fatigue, boredom, stress, and burnout for employees. In his workshop, Unlocking Innovation Through Play, Mike Brennan will help your team uncover the possibilities of play to reach the levels of productivity they have been grappling for with less stress, more fun, and better results. During this one day workshop your team will go through team building exercises to help them communicate more efficiently, meet deadlines, and increase productivity. Play at work is a necessity, not a luxury and this workshop will help your organization harness the power of play in an authentic and measurable way.

Description:
Everyone is a creator, even when they don’t necessarily feel like one. Some people write, others solve problems, some do art, while still others create content. When one looks at the world through the lens of creativity, that is when all the things that we desire start to fall into place/happen such as innovation, productivity, and a path forward that we otherwise would not have seen. Mike Brennan takes your audience on a journey of discovering their innate creativity through his signature Daily Creative Process where they will learn how to intentionally harness the power of creativity and innovation without waiting for inspiration to strike.
Your audience will also walk away with how to use creativity through time management, clarity on goal driven creativity, and a sustainable way to make innovating a part of their daily life and work.
