Description
Purposeful Creativity Methods (PCMs) are more than icebreakers or fun activities to lighten things up – they create purposeful learning communities! Written in an easy-to-understand style, Kimberly Dailey draws on her years of experience to provide facilitators and trainers at all levels with principles, checklists, and 59 time-tested PCMs to facilitate meaningful encounters for those who might see themselves as unlikely partners. Whether you are a facilitator, community organizer, trainer, therapist, organizational development specialist, diversity professional, human resources professional, educator, or life-long learner, this book was written for you. This book is the ultimate companion for professionals in every line of work – offering tried and true methods to improve connection, spark creativity, and enhance team morale. The PCMs in this book are purposeful because they are intended to strengthen human relationships, creative because they spark original and new ways of relating to self and others, and impactful because they are based on theoretical foundations and evidence-based strategies.
