When employees rely on established processes, familiar answers, or their manager to determine the next move, what looks like a performance problem may actually be a thinking problem. I find where judgment is constrained and habit is narrowing what your team can see — then design an intervention around what they actually need to develop.
I consult 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. My custom-tailored 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 custom-tailored solutions 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. I adapt my custom interventions according 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.
