WHY CREATIVITY & INNOVATION?

The World Economic Forum has named creativity one of the top three most important skills to invest in. It’s a basic ingredient for any organization that wants to survive and – even better – thrive in the uncertain conditions that surround us. In teaching how to escape comfort zone behaviour and think in new ways, Christopher illustrates how anyone can boldly make steps into fresh creative terrain.

Because a creative mindset has universal relevance, Christopher has been invited to share his ‘creative perspective’ to conferences themed: leadership, management, motivation and inspiration, business growth, organisational skills, peak performance, change, personal development, resilience and strategy.
