Frequently Asked Questions - About All Our Programs

1. Are you sure everyone can do this?

Everyone is creative! One of the most common statements made by the average person is "I’m not creative or I can’t draw a straight line or I could never draw or paint!" We demonstrate with inspiration that everyone is born with natural creative instincts. Every adult as a child possessed the natural instinct to draw or paint whether it was with crayons, sticks in the sand, or painting on walls, rocks or finger painting in kindergarten.

As an adult their dormant creative instincts are powerful tools that can be easily awakened and developed to enhance productivity, communication and creative confidence.

We build our programs on the fact that in today’s society, ever-changing economy and unstable business environment that people need to feel confident and productive to produce success regardless if it’s in business or personal living. Creative programs are powerful tools that can awaken confidence and sense of self.

We believe our programs are more powerful than the average group teambuilding event. First, because every participant gains a deep personal insight about their own creative self and secondly, they experience "why" creative team "thinking & participation" is important in the everyday living of business and life.

Our philosophy is a "no critique zone" we never critique or criticize any drawings, paintings or visual-thinking as good or bad or right or wrong. We only encourage, inspire and nurture all forms of creation and expression.

2. Why are we different?

We teach professionals, artists and business owners how to awaken and use their natural creative instincts in everything they do. We have inspired many business professionals and individuals to believe in themselves with simple childlike drawings, sketches or paintings.

We also offer workshops and other creative programs that keep a pulse on the "creative nature" of the business and artistic industry.

Our facilitators are also creative facilitators or coaches with a business background and/or trained "creative expression" instructors who are fun and inspiring.

3. Where are we located?

5. Can you recommend a place?

Are you a small group or big group and don’t have an event planning department or not sure what’s best for you - we can help. We have program planners that can source a venue based on your budget and objectives - a spa in Sedona, lodge in the mountains, or a hotel in a city?

For small town business (yes we love small towns that rarely have these kinds of resources available locally) we have even used the local community center or church recreation facilities to host a program. Let us make some suggestions that would meet your needs.

6. Why are we unique?

People don’t believe they are creative. When we show them they have tremendous power at their fingertips using sketching, painting and visual-thinking in teams and individually they change forever.

We also use the power of creativity in our workshops and coaching. If you can unleash your natural born creativity you will find it easier to overcome challenges and take control of your future success.

10. Can we plan a sketching or painting event as a PARTY OR CELEBRATION?

We have two-hour programs that can be combined with a wine and cheese event, Margarita party or before a special dinner - yes you can snack and drink as you paint!
