Seminars and Facilitation

Reignite Innovation and Marketing with Seminars and Facilitation

Fun and play turn creative potential into creative capital.

Imagine stimulating innovation where employees feel engaged, creative, and human! Imagine brainstorming where you and customers create new products and services by adapting existing ones, or where you use storytelling to come up with product designs and marketing campaigns! Whether you need to brainstorm new product ideas, need a facilitator for strategy development, or want to shake up your training, our fresh seminars invert assumptions and focus on human-centered design thinking so you see new possibilities and get results. For one group, we increased new product ideas by 5X in a fraction of the time and cost of linear methods!

Based on applied improvisation and a collaborative, human “Yes, and!” (versus a “Yes, but” that kills great ideas), our approach yields new insights and better team outcomes than traditional facilitation methods. We bring your best ideas forward, energize and engage your employees, and have fun doing so.

• One product group generated 5X more ideas for their next product in one session.

• One participant said, “I felt less pressure to come up with ‘the next best thing’ and trusted the process to bring great ideas out of the entire group; and it did.”

• “Kathy’s deceptively simple approach to improvisation for product professionals is Red Bull for your team’s ability to innovate and create high-value products.” Ellen Henson, Marketing Mechanics

Video Storytelling

I attended Kathy’s workshop on video marketing and telling your story. In short, it was excellent! Her practical tips, energetic style and subject matter expertise was outstanding. I have been videotaped before, but I left with a complete new set of tools and ways to approach developing content that will more likely grab the audience. It is well worth the investment! – Carol Piras, Managing Director, The Piras Group
