Florida Creativity Conference 2025

Participants will use LEGO bricks to build 3D models. They are asked to 'build' based on a question they are asked (Build a model where you feel your creativity shines) 2) They share their model (This provides them with story telling confidence and allows others to get to know them - find commonalities/differences) 3) Reflect - participants reflect on the experience, their learnings etc. Depending on the number of participants we will be able to get through 2-3 questions. A final question in each workshop is to build "one action they will take away and apply to their work/life."

Key Takeaways:

• Confidence (in their ability to share)
• Story Telling (ability to use alternative methods for sharing their thoughts) 
• Awareness (through a tactile exercise they can learn something about themselves and others for which a question may not uncover or unlock)

Do you ever get stuck when deliberate creativity bumps up against reality? Do you know why? In this discovery-focused workshop, you'll combine to powerful strategies to gain insights into yourself and the creative process. You'll start with the Playmobil ProPlay™ method--a way to invoke that magical mindset that allows you to see and say things through play that are often difficult to express through words alone. Next, you'll apply Polarity Thinking™, the both/and approach that enables you to understand and leverage the normal tension of interdependent truths (for example, Focus on the Team AND focus on the individual) to shatter the most common barriers to truly productive problem solving.

Key Takeaways:

• Explore ProPlay™ as a tool for understanding the key forces that can both constrain and liberate your thinking
• Discover basic Polarity Thinking™ principles and explore at least one creativity polarity that is important for you
• Challenge yourself to think about specific applications of these insights for those you lead, facilitate, and work with

This will be an engaging workshop that invites participants to explore the both the strengths and challenges of their personality style and learn ways to maximize the creative flow in themselves and others by thinking critically, engaging empathy, and acting mindfully.  Attendees will learn about Enneagram personality styles, wings, subtypes, and patterns of thinking, feeling, and doing when in stress and when at our best that either hinder or support creativity and growth.  They will collaboratively create action plans based on personality styles to help them move through their creative blocks.
