Tapping Your Natural Weirdness!©

Re-discovering Your Creative Potential for Fun & Profit

Aren't creative people just born that way? The answer is "Yes! "

But, the good news is that everyone is born creative, including you.   Tests have proven that the younger we are, the better we score in divergent thinking ability, and as we mature to adolescence and adulthood, our scores get lower and lower.  It isn't aging; it's conditioning.  And, it can be overcome!

This program will describe how living in a structured world, operating in "mental cruise control," and other factors contribute to our loss of creative thinking ability.  You will learn how to regain your "natural" creativity by taking incremental steps to personal change.

In addition, you will learn the four phases of the creative process, and in which role you excel and prefer.  With that knowledge, you will be able to form "whole brained innovation teams" in which all four phases can be successfully performed.  Creativity without refinement and implementation is nothing more than a brainstorm.

After you learn how to overcome the barriers, and to tap your natural weirdness, you will be introduced to some truly creative problem-solving techniques that go well beyond brainstorming, such as:

Whatiffing

In Search of QWERTYUlOPs

Creative Dissatisfaction

The 2nd Right Answer

Breaking the Mold

The Idea Journal

...and others

Whether it's process improvement ideas, strategic planning, cost-reduction initiatives, creative customer service, or any other "new thinking" that's needed,, these tools and techniques will start you in the right direction.

If you are ready to be challenged in your thinking, your attitude, and your perception of the world, you are ready for this program.

Weirdos in the Workplace!
Is body odor protected by freedom of religion? Which bathroom should a trans-sexual use? Is it still sexual harassment if I take advantage of it to get a promotion? Whatever happened to the good old days, when people looked and acted normal, came to work every day, didn’t rock the boat, and stayed until retirement?

The answer to these, and many other thorny questions are just a click away, in John Putzier’s newest book, “Weirdos in the Workplace.”
