Catalyst & Creator!

Catalyst and Creator gives you insights into how you can be a catalyst and coach to bring out the innovative best in others, while also practicing the skills for being creative and innovative yourself.

As a role model of innovation leadership, you gain trust and credibility by innovating in your own work and by coaching people with the right questions – rather than giving answers for their innovative challenges.

The Catalyst & Creator! workshop helps leaders be a catalyst and creator by gaining skills in five fundamental competency areas: a universal language for innovation, innovative thinking, the innovation process, human values, and climate for innovation.

In addition, the workshop provides an opportunity for leaders to assess their strengths and development areas for 8 key qualities of innovative leaders: being self-aware, purposeful, incisive, rewarding, inventive, transforming, evaluative, and dauntless. These qualities show up as strength of character, an inner integrity that transforms relationships into co-innovative alliances.

Together, Catalyst & Creator! builds a strong foundation for inspiring, guiding and enabling innovation in leaders and their workgroups.
