we’re all creative geniuses in disguise

Unlocking Your Creative Genius is a hands-on workshop exploring what creativity is, how it works in the brain and how we can all develop it — no matter our age, stage or industry.

Tailored to your organisation or event, Unlocking Your Creative Genius can be delivered in a 90 min, half- or full-day format, for small or large groups, or as a keynote.

Creativity is the power we all have to bring things into being. But most of us get trained out of it somewhere along the line, until it starts to feel silly, or out of reach, or both.

The good news is that our creativity never actually goes anywhere. We’re all using it, all the time, even if we don’t feel ‘creative’ at all.

  • “[The workshop] left us thinking differently about the power and importance of creativity, and how to bring it back into our lives. SHE is a fantastic speaker and struck a great balance for our audience of science driven data, personal experience and group participation. She left us hungry and curious to explore our own creative brains more.”

    — Z Energy

  • "Kate completely reframed how I think about creativity"

    Marc, Learning Architect

  • "This was one of the most joyful sessions I've ever been part of - absolutely loved creating with our scenius!"

    Verity, Keynote Speaker

  • "I had such a great time. It was a fun, engaging and thought-provoking way to explore how we can tap into our creativity more in both our everyday lives and at work. So many practical takeaways that I’ll definitely be putting into practice."

    — Laura, ACC

  • "[We were] seriously challenged and inspired by your workshop."

    Sam, Health Sector Leader

The case for your creative genius

As kids, we're all wildly creative.

But no one actually teaches us about what creativity is, how it works, and why we need it.

So as we get older, we end up under-playing our creativity — both individually and collectively. And that’s a serious missed opportunity.

No matter our age, stage or industry — we can all reconnect to and develop our creativity.

That's the work we seed in Unlocking your Creative Genius.

You’ll come away with:

  • simple frameworks for understanding what creativity is, how it works in the brain, and what can get in the way

  • tools to bring more creative thinking into your life and work

  • a fun, hands-on experience of lowering the stakes, embracing discomfort and exploring your creativity.

from someone who’s lived it too

Hi, I’m Kate.

I spent years as a lawyer and leader feeling wholly uncreative — until I picked up a paintbrush aged 30.

Not only did I start making art, but reconnecting with my creativity quickly became the best CPD I was doing in my law practice.

Ever since, I've been fascinated by our creative brains and how we can reeducate ourselves back into creativity.

I work with experienced professionals in industries that aren’t traditionally considered ‘creative’ — but who are absolutely doing creative work.
