What are some effective ways to structure your workshop content and activities?
I love this idea of being both creative and cerebral and translating vision into practical steps to take. Thereafter we memorialize their experience into a practical physical series of reminders to guide their goals into reality.

What are some effective ways to structure your workshop content and activities?
I usually start with some warmup exercises to get people into their "creative zone" and help them relax. At that point, we discuss individual and group goals and start a conversation around the similarities between their goals and the other people in the group to build constructive collaboration. I "read the room" and determine what type of activities or exercises blend well with the group's style. We try on different approaches and stay in the big picture later drilling down to specific actionable steps.

What are some effective strategies for brainstorming and generating ideas in a group?
I love the practice of bringing in techniques from the Expressive Arts field which are fun, relaxing, and further engages the group in "right brain" or creative thinking. Mind maps are awesome and writing prompts add a deeper dimension to the process.

What are some effective strategies for brainstorming and generating ideas in a group?
I also conduct a mindfulness practice at the very beginning encouraging the team to get centered and resourceful using a series of positive psychology approaches. The beginning of the session, the tone, the temperament and establishing a "safety zone" by introducing a series of communication practices sets the stage for creative thinking, engagement, and resourcefulness.
