This is a fun, fast and focused and highly interactive session illustrating how to think creatively by using tools that will take you through academia into the 'real world'. Learn how to use tools, which teach you how to think, structure a stronger essay or thesis, and even write your own life story. Learn about value medals, thinking hats, and why humour and movement can make you a more effective and efficient writer. The first half hour of this session will be a provocative talk on what it takes to be a lateral thinker and how to apply it to the 'real world', as well as identifying how and why the written and spoken word may be a barrier to learning how to think. The second half hour is a workshop showing how you can incorporate lateral thinking into problem solving and how and why all thinking is perceptual.

Trainer: Sarah Tucker is a radio broadcaster, best-selling novelist and journalist, having just completed the biography of lateral thinking pioneer Edward de Bono. Sarah is passionate about lateral thinking and how and why thinking should be taught in schools and universities, companies and especially politics.
