Online Video Course: Creative Thinking Tools for Business

As a Business English Teacher, I have taught this exact business case many times. I have used it in companies and at the University of Economics in Katowice, where I teach Business English. 

When we talk about creative thinking, a few things come to mind. We think of brainstorming, creative writing, and other forms of creative output. Yet, there’s so much more to creative thinking than just being able to brainstorm.

Creative thinking is a skill which, if accompanied by a growth mindset, can be a powerful problem solving tool that you can use at will. And we can teach ourselves this skill by deploying a couple of useful tools to help focus our thinking in the right direction – on Divergent Thinking.

If you’re looking to boost your creative thinking for business skills, then this is the right course for you.
