When employees rely on established processes, familiar answers, or their manager to determine the next move, a performance problem may actually be a thinking problem. I help you identify where judgment is constrained, habitual ways of working are limiting what people can see, and your team lacks the capacity to move forward without a script. Then I design an intervention around what they actually need to develop.
CMS works with teams across healthcare, engineering, education, technology, finance, media, and the nonprofit sector, especially those navigating change, complexity, and problems that don’t come with obvious answers. CMS workshops strengthen the adaptability, independent judgment, collaboration, and creative problem-solving to meet those challenges.
Creative thinking becomes valuable when people can use it. CMS workshops translate research on creativity into practical ways of approaching ambiguity, generating stronger possibilities, making thoughtful decisions, and moving ideas into action.
Every team faces different challenges. CMS workshops can be adapted to your organization’s goals, industry, team size, and schedule—from focused sessions on a specific skill to deeper learning experiences designed around an ongoing organizational need.
I’m Dre, a creativity researcher and seasoned facilitator specializing in how creative thinking is learned, practiced, and sustained. With an education background, a PhD in education policy, and a lifetime immersed in the arts, I design learning experiences that are thoughtful, participatory, and memorable.
