Probe the Power of Play and Paradox
Thursday March 13, 2025 1:00pm - 2:30pm EDT
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 (tm) 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 (tm), 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
