Deborah Khan -- Creative Inspiration: The power of stuff or where do ideas come from #3

What my clients say about me

John Birch - BA
“I was really impressed with the way Deborah Khan delivered training on the subject of communication skills to us at BA Pensions. She took time to fully research and understand how we worked and what our specific concerns were. She designed a programme that matched not only our collective requirements but was also flexible enough to cover individual development needs. Her methods, being performance based, ensured that even the most introverted of us participated in the programme and our subsequent delivery in formal presentations has improved significantly"
Tom Powell - DLKW
"I participated in a one-day session with Deb Khan last year and would strongly recommend it for both novice speakers and those looking to hone their skills. She (gently) picked apart our strengths and weaknesses and by the end of the day, the results were tremendous. Everyone left with a range of practical skills and it's been a huge benefit for presentations"
Kai Vacher - Specialist Schools Trust
"Deb has incredible foresight, emotional intelligence and a razor sharp focus on specific outcomes to plan programmes/workshops of outstanding quality. Her ability to work with a group of people so that very quickly they feel at ease with each other is unsurpassed in my experience. Deb uses a varied range of interactive strategies to provide the prefect balance of challenge and support for workshop participants. Post event, course participants often contact me to express their overwhelming sense of achievement having worked with Deb, and want more; for themselves and colleagues.”
David Mikhail - RHM
Deborah is fantastic. I’m afraid she had to suffer both of our last pitches – but after her input we just flew, winning really important work from both of them. She is practically our fourth partner now. In spite of all our training (7 years at architecture school) I realise now we were taught nothing about presenting. Deborah helped us to communicate successfully, but she is about much more than communication skills. She goes straight to the heart of what we are trying to say, what are our best ideas, and feels her way into the audience. She works us hard but she’s great fun and our business is booming thanks to her.
Simon Beckett - Five TV
"..this morning was most useful – so often in my experience creative workshops are all enthusiasm and no substance but yours was a refreshing change and I actually had to work at thinking about what you were saying and what I was thinking (I love metacognition)"

"Photos’re better than nothing, but things’re better than photos ‘cause the things themselves were part of what was there"

David Mitchell, Black Swan Green.

Suggesting clients source an object to prompt ideas is always a big ask. Asking anyone to bring along anything always overloads the task. People agonise. What will this say about me? How will I be read? Is it sufficiently intriguing, esoteric, exotic, intellectual… (substitute whatever you worry about when someone asks you to choose an object)

No doubt though that objects are a fantastic starting point for idea generation. Objects have an emotional resonance. They were part of a real story. They hold memories. Their weight and feel engage our senses. Their presence and significance can never be replicated by a photo. They offer potential for metaphor and provide stimuli for linking to an apparently unrelated subject. They can generate genuinely new connections to seemingly unrelated worlds through structured linking tasks.

Show a group of teenage boys a baby’s gas mask from World War 2. It will teach them far more than a text book. I know- I’ve seen it happen

Black Swan Green- recommend thoroughly by the way. Park your Booker prejudices. Mitchell has a composer’s ear for dialogue. His attention to rhythm, vernacular and idiosyncrasy create characters that jump off the page, nick your curly whirly and ride off on a BMX, flicking the v’s. (He could teach many a presenter a thing or two about writing as you speak.)

A bit of an indulgent 80s nostalgia trip. Describes a- year -in- the -life of a bullied teenage poet, struggling to deal both with his stammer, and the emerging Falklands debacle. Not obliviously a page turner I know but empathetic, honest, hilarious.

And full of great descriptions of stuff.

Welcome

A fresh, raw idea is our most precious commodity. I run workshops aimed at developing the inherent ability we all have to be creative. With 20 years personal experience of the arts, education, lateral thinking, coaching and consultancy I create bespoke, practical sessions tailored to my client’s particular needs. I then deliver support and advice to help practice and inspire creativity in the workspace. I achieve this through active learning sessions. Where people really understand what it means to be creative – a unique fusion of the intellectual, physical and emotional. With the emphasis on active. It’s about learning by doing. For me there is no other way. Getting off your chair, rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in. It’s dynamic, fast-paced and fun. Many workshops on creativity are often more form than content. I hope mine has the balance towards the former but has a great latter. For more information email me and I will send you a full description of what I do.
