Just like with Clark Kent, sometimes superpowers are right in front of us and we don't recognise them!
This workshop explores the simplicity of building psychologically safe meetings and interactions, which lead to enhanced ideation, creativity and collective intelligence
Exploring the impact of deep, non-conscious social threat responses and their impact on thinking, allows us to create the opposite; safe, brain-smart, humanised interactions which allow thinking to spontaneously improve
Simple, but profound. And right in front of us all along
