CREATIVE TEAMWORK

IN AN AGE OF CONSTANT CHANGE

about Mirna's corporate workshops

• "Your workshop was one of my best days this year (and I had many happy days). I often say to myself: what would Mirna say, how would she react in this situation? It really works! P.S. The folder you gave us is still at my bedside table". Christina, Senior Adviser.
   
• "I asked Mirna to facilitate our annual team offsite and to bring creativity as a theme. I knew from our preparation that this was going to be different! Mirna took the time to properly understand the dynamics of the team and where creativity might help unblock potential and help us to work better together. The offsite sessions were fun and instructive, everyone was truly engaged. Feedback from the team afterwards was unanimously positive and I have really seen a  lasting difference among team members in how we collaborate and use Mirna's techniques to find alternative solutions and ways of doing things. I have seen the proof that Mirna can unleash a whole new dimension to teams in these workshops!".  Susan, Bank Managing Director. 
   
• The Creative Thinking  workshop has been led in a very creative manner, pushing all of us outside our comfortable boundaries without feeling in danger. Based on respect, discovery and fun, this workshop is a self-energy finder, a toolbox opener and a true added value to whoever wants to achieve things with a new perspective. It's the actual implementation of "thinking outside the box"! Laurent, Head of HR. ​
   
• « Excellent mix of theoretical background and immediate practical application, gives incisive insight”, Emmanuel, Researcher
   
• "Being a photographer for more than 20 years, I daresay I'm creative.  Recently, a photo enthusiast asked me "How do you do to be creative?"...Go answer that! I wouldn't have been able to if I hadn't attended Mirna's workshop on creativity. So far, creativity was just a mechanism to me. I took my pictures with the rules I learned and my style; however, I never really wondered what led me to decide to cut a landscape here rather than there. This workshop opened my eyes twice. First, when I got to understand that creativity isn't just a concept reserved to an elite of artists. Creativity is in each and every one of us and we can enhance it. Second, when I realised it does apply to any context. Artists as well as corporate and business managers attended the workshop. And every one of us has been able to project the benefits of being creative in his/her own life." Ntambo photography. 
   
• “I realised that most knowledge is within ourselves and this course helped us rediscover our abilities and use them”, Ali, Technology Manager
   
• "I was introduced to Mirna at a corporate offsite. The creativity session which she hosted brought a refreshing new perspective to traditional offsite agendas. The tasks were fun, insightful and at times even emotive.  They really made me think about collaboration, teamwork and my own individual aptitude and mind-set in a different way.  Mirna supported the offsite session with a series of enlightening emails to keep the creative juices flowing once back in the office environment and offering much-welcomed moments of reflection. I would recommend Wiser Gems to any corporate entity interested in encouraging their employees to think outside their usual boundaries", Daksha, Company Secretary. 
   
• "Mirna is a very skilled specialist/communicator.  She is a great trainer! Wish we had more classes with her. Very useful tips!", Rob, Lawyer. 
   
• I will use what I learned everywhere, everyday”, Lee, Academic Researcher
   
• "I loved the follow up! I found it very inspirational and also really good with the tips. I’ve already committed to what I want to create. I really like how you give actually quite profound thoughts in such practical ways." Helene, Policy Officer. 

about Mirna as coach

• "After almost 10 years within the same organisation, I acknowledged a professional need of change but couldn't position my thoughts or myself around my own desire and ambitions. I therefore sought the support of a professional coach and met Mirna. Mirna listened carefully to my perspectives without judgment in a relationship of trust and respect. Providing support without removing my own responsibility, she enhanced my self-esteem. Mirna does encourage the process of thinking about thinking and provides resources in this regard. This approach to coaching helped me learn in ways that let me keep growing afterwards. With a constant availability, support and encouragement, Mirna gave me the tools to pave the road I'm now on and I'm enjoying the way as much as the vision of the results to come".  Laurent, HR Director
   

• “I am a very resourceful person and generally know how to find solutions.  But sometimes you need someone with a high degree of professionalism and commitment.  I count myself very lucky to have Mirna as my coach”, Carolyn, Entrepreneur and Board Director
   
• After hearing Mirna speak at an event, her energy, charisma and honesty were inspiring. I am very fortunate to have her now as my coach who combines practical tips, “stop talking and start doing” encouragement, the right questions and guidance for reflection. I am now generating my own positive energy to manage my international team and more importantly, my own life. I am energized to embrace life both professionally and privately. Thank you Mirna for opening these doors for me. – Clare, Director
   
• ​​“Mirna has an extraordinary capacity to make every problem seem manageable and help you find your own solutions. She has shown me how to understand why other people react like they do. I have changed my approach to interpersonal relationships”, Marianne, Senior Legal Counsel

• "For the first time in my life I attended an art class. I have my painting in my living room and people are really impressed that it is possible to paint "at that level" in a couple of hours. I loved the people, the beautiful setting, the relaxed atmosphere, and above all Mirna's enthusiasm and dedication. I will not forget her tips and advice. This experience has meant so much that I have now started a creative hobby and make time every week to develop my creativity", Marta, Bank Director
