Humour/Story/Image: Rainbows in Art / The cannibals story
During coaching sessions I have found that the most profound changes involve moments of inspiration and creativity. I’ve seen that any change depends on the creation of something new and that true learning is a creative act. When helping clients address their own challenges, my approach is to encourage a creative leap. This year I aim to build on and continue to develop this new perspective, under the banner of ‘Rainbow Genius’. I’ve created a new logo too, see above. The newsletters for 2010 will be part of that exploration and development.
I hope you find them useful and interesting. With best regards, Dave Crisp
