More and more, people and organizations are looking to creativity as a way forward in uncertain times. Myths and misconceptions, however, often point down the wrong path. Stages of Presence programs are based on over two decades’ experience in creative production and education. They draw upon validated theories and models of what successful creativity looks like.
Stages of Presence brings art and science together in development and consulting programs that improve the conditions for creativity, introduce new ways of creative thinking, develop leadership capacity, deepen team performance, and teach tools for staying balanced and engaged.
A playful blend of art and science.
The arts provide a powerful avenue for connecting with creativity. They help forge deeper interpersonal understandings, identify emerging possibilities, and teach how to communicate with power and authenticity.
The social sciences explore the forces that help creative thinking flourish, or cause it to wither on the vine. The science of creativity leads to greater innovation and improved conditions for individual and organizational breakthroughs.
In a spirit of playful exploration, Stages of Presence programs set the stage for deeper learning, which lingers on long after the programs are completed.
