New from author and creativity expert, Dr. Lynne Levesque, The Breakthrough Creativity Profile is based on the belief that everyone is creative, yet differently gifted. Just as there are multiple types of personality, there are also many types of creative talent. Using the Carl Jung’s well-grounded theory of personality types, The Breakthrough Creativity Profile enables an individual to identify their preference for one of eight creative talents and then define what is needed to achieve their creative best.
Once individuals have discovered their creative talents, the profile can be used to assess the creative talents of a team.Participant Guide features introduction to creativity, 16-item assessment with pressure-sensitive scoring form, creative talent overview, team talent matrix and questionnaire, and action planning.
Facilitator Guide features administrative guidelines, theoretical background and model, workshop for individuals and teams, alternative training designs, exercises to expand the learning, copy of the Participant Guide, and CD-ROM containing overhead transparency masters, activity handouts, and more.
The expanded Facilitator Guide includes a copy of the Participant Guide.
Objective: To help individuals uncover their creative talents
Audience: Individuals at any organizational level
Time Required: 1 - 2 hours

The Cuban Missile Crisis:A Case Study In Decision Making And Its Consequences
Change and growth inevitably force companies to make critical decisions at unexpected moments. Acting under pressure, many organizations make decisions that fall short, that operate in a frustrating cycle of trial and error, that can waste millions of dollars.
How should organizations reach decisions that successfully impact their enterprise? What elements are essential in surfacing the best decision a team can make?
Management experts consider the Cuban Missile Crisis one of the most successful decision making processes in history. In 13 pressure-packed days, President Kennedy’s Executive Committee debated and successfully resolved how to respond to the threat of attack by Soviet-controlled nuclear weapons installed in Cuba, a mere 90 miles from the Florida coast.
The Cuban Missile Crisis video is not a history lesson, but an examination of the leadership style and processes that led President Kennedy’s Executive Committee not just to a good decision, but to the optimal decision. If the five essential elements of leadership and work processes used during these meetings led to a decision that neutralized the threat of nuclear attack, think of what these elements can do for your organization’s decision making teams.

In 1951 Fred Astaire danced on the walls and ceiling in one of his popular feature films. That famous scene becomes the focus of this fun meeting opener. The schmaltzy music has been replaced with trip-hop from today's young composers.
