Brain-calming Vs. Brainstorming
By Think Jar Collective member Colin Funk
In the early nineties a wide variety of arts-based approaches to creative problem solving and idea generation surfaced. One of the most popular forms that emerged was that of Improv Theatre. ... As leaders from all sectors today find themselves in uncharted waters, the demand for not only quantity, but quality of ideas is paramount. Just as potent as the many powerful techniques from the world of Improv Theatre, comes a more appropriate practice and inquiry tool for these times – Brain-calming.
... Brain-calming techniques are on the rise and can be seen routinely in many private and public organizations as meditation, learning partner walks, slow food dinners, conversation cafes, and journaling.
