GENERAL INFORMATION--OUR APPROACH TO CREATIVE THINKING DEVELOPMENT
"Every human being is born with the capacities to be highly creative throughout their lives."
Over time ALL cultures tend to squelch, even KILL, our natural creativity or the related creative thinking skills that ALL children exercise DAILY from infants learning to walk to simply playing alone or with friends."
One of Alan's greatest teachers, Dr. E. Paul Torrance (often called the "Father of Creativity" or "Creativity Man") studied what he discovered and called the "4th Grade Slump" in classrooms where much to most of the natural creativity in children is quieted down simply through the normal approaches to teaching. In his research over 50 years and Alan and the other CP3 Colleagues' studies and work over the last 30 years we and many others have discovered that natural creativity can be recharged, redeveloped, reawakened and further developed throughout our lives at work and at home.
Each of the CP3 Colleagues has been teaching and coaching people about their creative GIFTS they were born with and many they can learn and develop throughout their lives; the importance of ATTITUDE when we need to think creatively; and many PROCESSES, TECHNIQUES, & TOOLS that we can use to increase our creativity at any time in any aspect of our lives; plus many STRATEGIES we can use to S.P.R.E.A.D. creative thinking (Support, Promote, Recognize/Reward, Encourage, Apply and Develop).
For several years we have been doing...

General Introduction
All human beings in all cultures are born with the capacity to be highly creative.
Yet at the same time all cultures tend to squelch individual creative thinking
This paradox is what I have being dealing with all my life personally as a student, employee, citizen and have been dealing with professionally since 1976 when I first read some of the work of creativity movement researchers: E. Paul Torrance, Ph.D., Morris I. Stein, Ph.D., J. P. Guilford, Ph.D., Calvin Taylor, Ph.D., Sidney J. Parnes (CEF & CPSI) and popular creativity writers: Roger von Oech (Whack on the Side of the Head), Edward de Bono (NewTHINK, CoRT System, Lateral Thinking) and Rollo May (The Courage to Create) and many others since.
Since 1976 I have been leading workshops, leading training programs, giving keynote addresses and coaching people one on one about their creative thinking, creative problem solving and creative leading. In each of the 3100+ sessions I have done we begin with the truth that all people are creative but most have quieted down those skills and have forgotten how to use them. Then I introduce them to 32 basic human creative thinking traits I discovered in my early research as a doctoral student in the late 1970s and then add the 20 that my teacher, mentor and long-time friend, E. Paul Torrance measured through his series of creative thinking tests, Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. From there we venture into the area of how to develop Cre8ng environments (work environments that S.P.R.E.A.D creativeness and creative thinking throughout entire workplaces through leaders and all others...

"SOLUTIONS REQUIRE DOZENS OF DOZENS OF IDEAS FIRST©"
Turning any department or company into a Solution Focus Team
Most of the time when we ask other people for ideas they may share 2 or 3. Often when we are asked with give 2 or 3 to maybe 6. In the workplace we need 1000s to 10s of thousands of ideas to choose from to solve many small to giant problems. With training and practice we all can generate 100s to 1000s of ideas. This session is designed to help people get past basic CREATIVE G.A.P.S. that stop most of us from being creative to learning a mixture of creative thinking tools, techniques, systems, models to how to create their own to suit the situations they are in, along with understanding the principles and values of CREATIVE THINKING STYLES.
