COURSES IN CREATIVITY

So if creativity is not an innate talent that comes from birth and is a skill that can be learned, then with practice anyone can become a thinker. créatif fécond. C’est le but du Cours en Créativité.

The Creativity Course is the sum of two of Dr. Edward de Bono's powerful thinking programs: Parallel Thinking or Six Hats of Reflection, and Lateral Thinking which is the innovation and creativity program. “Voir vidéo Edward de Bono sur la pensée créative”

CoRT - COGNITIVE RESEARCH TRUST

Equip the children

This program is for children aged 8 to 18, the leaders of tomorrow.

Cognitive Research Trust - Cognitive Research Team - is a thinking learning program that was developed with schools in mind and is now widely used around the world: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa. South, Italy, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Ireland, Canada, United States, Venezuela, Philippines, etc. starting from the observation of Dr de Bono who says: “Most errors of ordinary thought (apart from technical questions) are errors of perception. The weight traditionally attached to logic does not significantly improve perception. If the perception is wrong, even perfect logic cannot compensate for this deficiency. Perception is a matter of directing attention. If you don't look in the right direction, no matter how smart you are, you won't see what you need to see. "The mind can only see what it is ready to see. Edward de Bono

“See Bono's Video on Reflect”

The CoRT program has six parts, each of which contains ten lessons.

The first part is devoted to "broadening your perception". Here we have a few simple attention tools.

PMI, a tool used to intentionally search for pluses, minuses, and points of interest, and which allows a person to properly assess suggestions instead of following emotional first impressions and using reflection only to defend that point of view.
C&S (consistency and sequence) which aims to draw attention to the consequences of actions.
APO to draw attention to others involved and their perspective. This tool is tested in various situations in order to develop a skill that can be transferred to real life situations - what is actually happening.
FIF - First Important Priority
APC - Alternatives, Possibilities, Choices
OPV - Opinion, Point of View of Other People.

David Perkind, professor of educational pedagogy at Harvard University, in his book Outsmarting the IQ “(NY, Free Press, 1995) wrote of CoRT:“ In its approach to teaching thought in practice, Edward de Bono repeatedly emphasizes the importance of solid educational material that can be delivered to destination without difficulty. This is certainly one of the hallmarks of the CoRT program. The CoRT program addresses very clearly the typical characteristics of thinking described in the previous chapter: rushed, narrow, fuzzy and sloppy thinking.

The four traps of intelligence are huge: they leave room for all kinds of misadventures and different types of thinking. However, the CoRT covers them all. Intelligence can be taught with CoRT. "

Historically, education has always been linked to the administration and absorption of knowledge. The aim of education is to provide knowledge to its users. It is easy to learn because knowledge can be written in books. It's also easy to test.

LEADERSHIP

Leadership is a series of courses which aims to strengthen the capacities of managers in the management and mobilization of their employees to achieve the best performance. It also contains lessons to help the new Manager acquire the behaviors expected in his new functions.

The great business leaders agree in recognizing that "soft skills" that is to say "soft skills" or behavioral are necessary and essential to the success of the Manager. In fact, for several decades, professions have changed rapidly, working methods have evolved and call for a perpetual renewal of the skills required. The face of companies is changing rapidly today and soft skills appear to be essential assets for adapting to these changes.

The basic module is used to discover the concepts of how leadership works and how to apply approaches that benefit both leaders and employees!

The complete course is done in several workshops for the leader to whom everything does not come naturally and who is eager to build and perfect himself. Each workshop deals with at least 3 themes selected to cover the fundamentals. Tailor-made workshops are offered because the list of soft skills essential to the success of a Manager varies according to the schools of thought to suit the surrounding culture. The list of fifteen (15) soft skills below encompasses and ticks the boxes of all streams of thought:
