Description

The Innovative Team Mindset is a dynamic, evidence-based professional development course designed to help teams and leaders unlock their creative potential and apply it confidently in their daily work. Led by creativity expert Ginny Santos, this course equips you with practical frameworks—including the FourSight Thinking Model, Creative Problem Solving, and the 3 “I”s of Innovation—to transform how you approach challenges and generate effective solutions, even under pressure.

You’ll learn to distinguish between creativity and innovation while practicing both divergent and convergent thinking strategies essential for modern problem-solving. Throughout the session, you will discover your personal problem-solving style, learn to facilitate wishful thinking, and guide ideation activities that draw on the collective intelligence of your team. We’ll tackle the common cognitive, emotional, and cultural blocks to creativity so you can foster a safe, inclusive environment that encourages participation and bold ideas.

Grounded in behavioral science, neuroscience, and positive psychology, The Innovative Team Mindset will help you design and implement creative solutions with confidence, build trust within your team, and enhance overall engagement and productivity. By the end of this 90-minute course, you will walk away with a personalized action plan to continue applying these strategies, turning theory into action and everyday work challenges into opportunities for innovative success.
