Creativity at Work Workshop
In this dynamic, hands-on workshop, Nir Bashan brings the principles from his bestselling book The Creator Mindset directly into your organization, focused not on theory, but on measurable results. Participants identify:
The top three real issues currently impacting their work
Clarity on if that’s operational bottlenecks, communication breakdowns, or cultural friction
If it’s a global issue or a specific issue.
Nir then guides the group through a structured, repeatable process that removes fear from creativity and replaces it with clarity, confidence, and momentum. Leaders and teams learn how:
To unlock original thinking without chaos
Collaborate without politics & drama.
Make faster, smarter decisions.
By the end of the workshop session, participants don’t just feel inspired—they leave aligned around clear action steps, renewed ownership, and practical strategies that directly improve performance at work. Right away.
Workshop Review:
At the CMA conference in Las Vegas, I joined a session called “Tools to Drive Creative Solutions at Work.” We were broken into small teams and asked to identify the biggest challenges facing our industry.
Our group included leaders from snacks, personal care, bakery, and others. Different companies. Different categories. Different roles. Yet the themes were remarkably consistent.
Mergers and layoffs creating ambiguity inside organizations.
Gen Z consumers behaving differently than prior generations.
AI creating both excitement and anxiety.
Underneath all of it was one word: uncertainty.
At the start of the session, we each introduced ourselves and shared our favorite color. Every single person on our team chose either blue or green. It was a small moment, but it immediately connected us. What felt random at first suddenly felt aligned.
That led to a bigger insight for me.
Even in uncertain times, there are anchors. There are shared fundamentals. There are truths that do not change.
Consumers still value quality.
Brands still need clarity.
Teams still need leadership.
Maybe what our industry needs most right now is quiet confidence. Not denial of change. Not hype. Not fear. Just steady, focused leadership that cuts through the noise and keeps moving forward. THANK YOU NIR!

The Solution Mindset Workshop
Based on the principles from Nir Bashan’s new book The Solution Mindset, this workshop transforms how organizations approach challenges at every level. Attendees are:
Placed into randomized, cross-functional groups.
Intentionally blurring silos and encouraging collaboration across departments, disciplines, and seniority levels
Disrupted in familiar team dynamics
Encouraged in an environment where fresh perspectives surface quickly and unexpected solutions emerge.
Through guided exercises and real-time problem solving, participants learn how to think like solution-builders rather than problem-dwellers. The session demonstrates:
How diversity of thought accelerates innovation.
How to reduces friction between teams.
How to drive better business outcomes.
Organizations walk away with stronger cross-collaboration, faster decision-making, and a shared language for solving complex challenges together—turning creativity into a strategic advantage, not just a buzzword.
Workshop Review:
When I walked into the workshop with Nir at the PIA Atlanta, I was carrying the weight of an industry that feels like it’s constantly under siege. As independent brokers, we’re facing economic pressure from every direction—market volatility, carrier changes, rising premiums, and clients who are understandably anxious. I didn’t expect to be moved emotionally. But by the end of the day, I was in tears. Nir didn’t just give us strategies—he gave us hope. He shared practical, actionable tools to help us reframe the challenges in our industry and turn them into opportunities. For the first time in a long time, I felt empowered instead of overwhelmed.
What truly amazed me was how he transformed the room. I found myself collaborating with teams and professionals I never get the chance to speak to in my daily work. There was an openness, a shared mission, and a level of cross-team connection that I’ve never experienced at a conference before. Nir created a space where innovation didn’t feel intimidating but it felt accessible. He showed us how creativity isn’t reserved for marketing departments or executives; it’s a survival skill for all of us.
After the workshop, I went up to Nir and told him something I’ve never said to a speaker before:
I told him I felt like Jesus had sent him to us that day.
That’s how deeply his message resonated with me. He met us exactly where we were—exhausted and worried and reminded us of our power to solve problems and lead with courage. I truly believe the transformation that started in that room is lasting. I left not just inspired, but changed.
