Ideas Are Made, Not Found explores the thinking behind great ideas and challenges the belief that creativity depends on inspiration or natural talent. The workshop introduces practical creative thinking techniques that help people break away from obvious solutions, look at problems from different perspectives, make unexpected connections, and deliberately generate stronger ideas. Through examples and hands-on exercises, participants will learn techniques they can apply to creative, professional, and everyday challenges.
