Welcome
Maverick Minds is a creative experiential learning professional development consultancy. The intersection - where art and business meet - provides a unique learning experience for people in the workplace and in the community.
Maverick Minds offers learning experiences that put the participant at the heart of the experience. Our workshops balance the rational and objective, with the intuitive, imaginative and subjective. The inclusion of creative processes, intentional and critical reflection and dialogue are integral to our learning and development programs.
And while we are serious about learning that builds creativity, capacity and resilience we believe that having fun and a sense of lightheartedness play their part.
Arts-based learning experiences are a valuable addition in organisations. The creative interventions applied in the facilitation process encourage:
- resilience
- self confidence
- self awareness
- critical and reflective thinking
- shared and personal meaning in professional practice
- engagement in the workplace
- belief in one's own creative capabilties
- enhanced team performance
- appreciation of diversity
- imagination
- well-being
- new ways of learning
- exploration of new ideas
- open communication
- engaged employees
- healthy working relationships
- a sense of playfulness
- professional artistry and craftsmanship
Effective learning, development and transformation do not happen in a linear way; it is multi-dimensional. Through the methodology of artful inquiry Maverick Minds designs and delivers programs and workshops that encourage reflection and dialogue. The workshops give space for spontaneity, creative expression, collaboration and change.
Maverick Minds philosophy reflects a holistic approach to transformational learning and development of people. Our emphasis is on the learner's experience and placing the learner at the centre of the experience. Our belief and what we see happen in our workshops is that an arts-based experience is a catalyst for stimulating discussion and generating meaning at an individual and collective level.
The interaction and co-creation from workshop participants along with artful facilitation creates environments that support diversity and encourage dialogue, reflection and creativity.
