Event Info
Have you ever felt your creative energy drained by a brainstorming session?
Maybe you’ve struggled to get people to share their thoughts or ask questions. What would happen if you intentionally designed sessions that energize and spark play in your team collaboration?
As creatives, we know the importance of generating ideas and narrowing them down to promising ones. But brainstorming also unlocks creativity and joy on your team and can stretch us and be playful simultaneously.
In this session, we’ll dive into the joyful side of brainstorming and tackle actionable methodologies and tools to encourage more creative ideas – and get your team excited for them.
About Rachel
Meet Rachel, a Workshop Experience Designer and Facilitator based in the United States. She has over 18 years of experience in design thinking, brand and creative strategy, workshop creation, and facilitation. She’s a firm believer that play is the doorway to our wildest ideas, and as a result, she’s built her own consulting company to help others bring that joy and energy into their workshops.
Rachel leads a Miro Community Group and helps run the ButterMixers, a twice-monthly session with the curious minds over at the Butter Community.
She looks for inspiration everywhere, and books are one of her favorite things to explore. She probably has way too many books on her reading list right now, so don’t hesitate to ask her for a suggestion on what to read next! You can connect with Rachel on her LinkedIn and Bento.
