Enabling Trainers and L&D Professionals
​to get creative with their own development
​

​A good Trainer understands the importance of self-development, but as they're often the ones doing the developing, it can sometimes be hard to step away and allocate the time.   
​From first steps to established professional,  let's talk about developing your own development through bespoke train-the-trainer programmes, virtual programmes and one off events.

“I first came across Nikie through her quirky and different posts which I’m always compelled to look at further and find myself drawn to.  We talked and I described the kind of creative experiments we’re keen to encourage in my team and asked her to share all her secrets!

She created a great day packed full of ideas, taught my team how dopamine makes the difference in learning and we left with a shopping list and inspired and reassured that what we were already doing was value add coupled with some ideas to make them even better.  From before the day to after she demonstrated how creativity engages and lands learning.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend  The Introduction to Creative Learning & LEGO® Serious Play®’ workshop. Nikie and Ben made us all feel welcome straightaway and their passion for creative learning was inspiring. It was also a rare chance to meet likeminded Learning and Development professionals, sharing our experiences and networking.

​The workshop completely opened my eyes to Lego serious play and now I am working the learnings into my future training programmes as there are so many benefits including channelling our curious inner child, having fun with Lego! I will be back for more workshops with Nikie and Ben”  Anne East - Easterly Winds Consulting Ltd
