 At Creativity Wake-Up, we offer learning experiences that help businesses become more resilient and better able to cope in these fast changing times by developing their creative thinking.

We have given hundreds of teams and individuals a practical plan and a step-by-step process to develop the creative thinking that is needed to grow and future-proof their businesses, differentiate from their competitors and transform their personal lives.

With rapid change happening all around us and disruption evident in all industries, now is the time for leaders to understand creativity and nurture the kind of creative cultures needed to innovate and  thrive for decades to come.

We have transitioned from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, where factory work gave way to the knowledge economy and service-based activities. Now, in the Imagination Age, machines handle knowledge work and analysis, leaving humans to excel in areas that require imagination, creativity, and high emotional and social intelligence—skills that computers cannot replicate. 

In today’s fast-paced world, creativity is crucial. The World Ecomonic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2023 states that creativity is the top skill needed for future job success. Developing creativity helps businesses and individuals become more resilient and better equipped to handle change.

What people are saying

Le-Juan Beukes

Head of Sales Fulfilment, Merchant Capital  

“The workshop was incredible. I had a session with Nina before the training and mentioned what I wanted to get out of this. It was a tall order and it was delivered tenfold. The training was incredibly helpful to the team… Nina as a facilitator was able to encapsulate everything that we wanted to achieve as a management team for the sales team and that’s incredibly powerful."

"(The Creative Thinking Accelerator Programme) was a tremendously important and worthwhile endeavour. I derived a lot of benefit from it and I think our firm will do as well. A lot of effort had gone into trying to understand our business and the issues that we are facing, so it was really outcomes driven and you could see how the discipline and the learnings that you get from it can be applied in practice."

“I thoroughly enjoyed the programme. I think it was insightful and creative. It got me out of my comfort zone; got me to think; got me to chat with the people in my team and collaborate with them. I learned how to brainstorm ideas and shoot down some of my own insecurities and break through that glass ceiling that I’ve created for myself."
