Design Sprints Fostering Creative Confidence
In today’s culture, there’s extra pressure to be a specialist, to succeed and be flawlessly good at what we do. When people come to a Design Sprint, often they feel a combination of curiosity and discomfort for various reasons, either because they aren’t sure how can it actually help, or because they have taken part in one and feel they are not creative enough. It is the job of the facilitator to create a space that encourages and fires creativity by helping to eliminate self-censorship. This talk is not going to be about how to run design sprints, although it kind of is. This talk is about the humans attending design sprints and how to unlock their creativity
Workshops
How to fire up creative confidence in Design Sprints
- 24 November at 14:00
- Zoom
As facilitators of Design Sprints and workshops, we are responsible for the levels of creative confidence of the groups we work with. Our aim is to make sure the fears and insecurities we all share are mitigated so that we can get the most out of it. In this workshop we will learn and apply some of the concepts and techniques that help to fire up creative sprints through play, putting people at ease to be creative.
We will be working in groups via Zoom. The workshop will be a series of exercises and we will measure the levels of Creative Confidence before and after.
After this workshop, you will have successfully gone through the concepts that encourage creative confidence and will be able to apply this process and insights in your daily practice.
