PLAY

Creative interventions

Learning, gaining insight, creating recognition, changing behavior, coming up with ideas while playing, these are the creative interventions that I like to use together with you.

An original approach, such as Magic Click, lends itself well to various exercises, which can be customized or devised. This approach can be both used for mental flexibility and for innovation and creativity. With the highest goal of adding oxygen to the thinking of a group and letting participants surprise themselves.

We can also play together and create work forms or creative interventions. For example, I developed the User Manual for yourself for the Museum of the Mind and the Bookdoppelganger together with the Letterenfonds. Read more about this on the WORK page

magic click

Turn a four-color pen into your creative pocket coach and practice mental agility

Magic Click is a simple technique to increase creative self-confidence, for yourself, that of students, your team or clients.

Using a four-color pen, participants can experience what it's like to take on four creative roles to practice flexible thinking:

the Explorer helps to ask the right questions,

the Artist helps to think freely and originally,

The Critic helps you deepen and improve your ideas and

The Coach encourages you to translate your ideas into action.

And who are you? You are the one who decides with a single magical click who gets to speak.

Magic Click is not a working method in which the colours represent motivations and qualities to bring a team into balance, these four colours represent roles to create space and balance in one's own thinking.

lecture

An interactive Magic Click lecture lasts 45 to 120 minutes. The lecture is about creativity and how you need a flexible mind for that. The by-catch of a flexible mind is mental health, the ability to bring yourself to other thoughts. During the lecture we do two stretching exercises on paper. If you want more information or would like to discuss the possibilities together, please contact us .

workshop

A flexible mind can change its mind, can put itself in someone else's shoes, sees opportunities in challenges and can turn a problem into a wish. Because a flexible mind can switch. In a Magic Click workshop we do half a day of stretching exercises that are adapted to the wishes of the group. A little more focused on creativity and coming up with new ideas, more emphasis on reflection and mental health, or a good mix of the two. Participants experience what it brings by switching between four perspectives, with the help of writing exercises and the four-colour pen. You don't have to be good at writing, you won't learn to write better either, but you will surprise yourself with new, fresh thoughts. Practical: up to 10 participants at the location of Studio FIK in Amsterdam (on the grounds of the Rijk van de Keizer). Up to 50 participants at the Museum van de Geest in Haarlem. Or at your own (chosen) location.

brainstorm

A Magic Click brainstorm is a workshop of half a day plus half a day to work on a concrete question guided by the four perspectives. Magic Click is a great technique to structure a brainstorm so that everyone is heard and time and talent are given space. We provide refreshing working methods to look at the problem in a different way. Together with communication professionals from our network and the team, we come up with new questions that generate new ideas. In one day you follow a workshop and have an applied brainstorm.

training

The Magic Click training is for professionals who want to use the technique for their students or customers. At the end of this year or beginning of next year we will offer a train-the-trainer. We can discuss the possibilities if you want to train a team in-house.
