Expanding Minds

Expanding Out provides educational workshops to students of all ages.

We lead workshops for students that focus on:

  1. Introducing the concept of creative thinking as a tool for empowerment and problem solving

  2. Experiential activities that illustrate creative concepts and emphasize the element of "play"

  3. Encouraging self-reflection and support of others

  4. Creative projects, driven by the students' ideas about how to make the world a better place.

Expanding Careers

Expanding Out offers professional development workshops to staff from a variety of business sectors.  Our workshops use Creative Thinking concepts to help staff reinvigorate their sense of purpose, motivation and productivity.  We offer strategies to assist in identifying areas of burn out and to create a path forward that emphasizes original ideas and stronger team building.

Expanding Communities

Expanding Out is committed to bringing ideas of creativity to the community.  These workshops focus on all parts of the community, including libraries, schools, religious institutions and other civic organizations.  Our goal for this program is to use concepts of Creative Thinking to engage, inspire and strengthen the bonds between community members.
