About this Event

Are you struggling to get your ideas down on paper? Feeling stuck when it comes to creating content for your business? Or wondering how to stand out in a crowded market?

Creativity has the phenomenal power to turn the mundane into the extraordinary. It is about seeing, thinking, and doing things differently - so we can share new ideas, insights, and perspectives. When we inject creativity into our businesses, we stand out from the crowd, feel more energised by what we are doing, and uncover new ways to grow on our terms.

This workshop brings to life the theme of - Creativity - featuring two of our fantastic guest contributors who will share their expertise through interactive, practical exercises.

What you will learn:

Get Unstuck with Louise Tondeur

Louise Tondeur, a writer and Creative Writing lecturer, will guide you through powerful exercises to overcome creative blocks and get your ideas flowing:

  • A list-making exercise to unblock your writing and access your creativity.
  • The subheadings method to help you structure and develop your ideas effectively.
  • Techniques to let go of perfectionism and embrace ‘shitty first drafts’.
