In this
workshop Dr. Yashin-Shaw delivers a new
cognitive tool for thinking creatively. It
incorporates some well known strategies for
creative thinking that people may already be
familiar with such as brainstorming and
perspective shifting but places them in a
broader context. The new model is called
The StrateGEE® model for creative
thinking and was the subject of Dr.
Yashin-Shaw’s doctoral thesis.
This is a
‘hands-on’, ‘minds-on’ interactive session
so participants will actively engage in
creative problem-solving.
"Every day the
challenges we face both in our professional
and personal lives provide us with
opportunities to see fresh solutions to
existing problems. If those challenges are
approached creatively and mindfully by
looking for new perspectives then the
outcomes will be more beneficial and
productive.” Dr. Irena Yashin-Shaw PhD |
