Creative Leadership Workshop
Leadership Training in the Philippines That Turns Managers Into Creative, Adaptive Leaders
You know what every CEO wants? Leaders who can think beyond the checklist. Leaders who don’t just follow instructions, but create new ways forward.
That’s the desire. Managers who are creative. Adaptive. Problem-solvers. Innovators. The kind of leaders who see opportunity even in crisis.
But too many managers are stuck in the old way of leading. They wait for directions. They play it safe. They manage tasks—but they don’t spark ideas.
It’s not their fault. They were trained to follow rules. Promoted for efficiency, not imagination. Taught to avoid mistakes instead of testing possibilities.
And that’s the danger. In times of disruption, this mindset is costly. Teams lose energy. Opportunities slip away. The company falls behind.
Do you keep sending managers to generic leadership trainings that sound impressive… but change nothing? Or do you choose an experience that breaks old patterns—and makes leaders act differently today?
That’s where the shift begins.
The Creative Leadership Workshop is not another lecture. It’s a tailor-fit leadership experience. Managers will see their blind spots. They will test new ways of leading. And walk out with one visible action they can use the very next day.
Your company doesn’t just need managers who manage. You need leaders who create.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is for leaders who feel the weight of responsibility— but want more than just compliance from their teams.
It’s for managers and supervisors tired of giving orders no one remembers— and want to inspire action people believe in.
It’s for CEOs and senior leaders who dream of building teams that don’t just follow the plan— but create new ways forward, even in the face of disruption.
And it’s for HR and L&D professionals who are done with cookie-cutter seminars.
For leaders ready for a tailor-fit creative leadership workshop that actually shifts behavior.
If you want leaders who are not only efficient, but also creative, adaptive, and courageous problem-solvers— this workshop is for your company.
What Participants Will Take Away
In this workshop, participants don’t just learn about creative leadership. They practice it from the first minute.
Each module is a live experience that makes managers act, see their patterns, and shift into new ways of leading. One builds on the next, preparing them to launch a 90-day project that proves the change.
1. Break the Pattern™
You can’t lead creatively if you stay in your comfort zone. In this opening module, participants jump into a fast-paced challenge where their usual ways of leading no longer work. The action exposes their default patterns and opens the door for creative alternatives.
- Action: Take on an impossible scenario in real time.
- Shift: From doing what’s safe → to experimenting with what’s possible.
2. Invent the Option™
Once managers see the limits of their old frame, they start building new ones. They practice creative problem-solving under pressure, using tools that force fresh perspectives and generate unexpected solutions.
- Action: Use live frameworks like The 5 “What Ifs” Drill and Assumption Reversal to create multiple solutions.
- Shift: From waiting for answers → to designing options.
3. Lead the Experiment™
Creative leadership isn’t about ideas—it’s about action that inspires others. Participants lead small group experiments, test adaptive decisions, and guide peers through uncertainty. They practice leading with courage, collaboration, and trust.
- Action: Run a mini-experiment where success depends on collective creativity.
- Shift: From controlling outcomes → to leading learning through action.
4. Launch the Impact Project
Learning ends. Leading begins. Every manager designs a 90-Day Leadership Project—a concrete initiative they will carry out in their workplace. It’s their first test of creative leadership beyond the workshop.
- Action: Build a 90-Day Project Plan with clear wins and accountability.
- Shift: From knowing creative leadership → to proving it through results.
By the end of the Creative Leadership Workshop, managers don’t just talk about creativity. They act like creative leaders. They walk away with new habits, tested tools, and a project that creates visible impact in 90 days.
Why Choose This Workshop
Most leadership trainings feel impressive in the room. Good slides. Motivational stories. Energetic speakers.
But a week later? Nothing has changed. Managers go back to the same habits. Teams go back to waiting. And the company is left with another certificate on the wall.
That’s the problem I set out to solve 20 years ago.
Since then, I’ve worked with leaders in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and beyond. I’ve seen what works—and what fails. And here’s the truth: people don’t change because of information. They change because of shifts.
That’s why I built the Shift Experience Design (SXD) method. Every workshop I design follows one rhythm:
- Act first – put people in motion, not in chairs.
- See the pattern – reveal what’s holding them back.
- Shift the frame – discover new ways of leading.
- Anchor the win – turn it into action that sticks.
This is why companies invite me again and again. Because their managers don’t just learn—they start leading differently.
I’ve also written books like Create Shifts, Start With One Shift, Culture That Sticks, and The Shift Is the Strategy. These aren’t theory books. They’re field guides. Just like this workshop, they’re designed to make change happen in the room, not just in reports.

Workshop Format & Details
The Creative Leadership Workshop is designed to fit the rhythm of your organization.
- ⏱ One-Day Intensive – Immerse your managers in a full-day experience where every module builds momentum toward the 90-Day Impact Project.
- ⏱ Two Half-Days – If schedules are tight, we can run it in two sessions. This gives participants time to reflect and return with fresh insights for the next round of practice.
This workshop also works as the perfect lead-in to Strategic Planning. When your leaders learn to think creatively and act adaptively, your planning sessions stop being routine reviews. They become launchpads for bold new directions.
📍 Delivered onsite in Metro Manila, Laguna, Batangas, Cavite—or anywhere in the Philippines.
👥 Ideal for 20–50 participants (customizable for larger groups).
🎯 Always tailor-fit to your company’s goals and challenges.
This is not just another leadership training in the Philippines. It’s a shift experience that gets your managers ready for the future.
Take the Next Step
Every day you wait, your managers keep leading the old way. They manage tasks. They play safe. They hold back ideas that could change everything.
But one shift can spark a different future.
The Creative Leadership Workshop will not give your managers another stack of slides or “nice-to-know” theories. It will give them a visible change in how they lead—and a 90-day project that proves it in action.
If you want leaders who don’t just follow, but create… adapt… and lead with courage, now is the time.
Let’s build the kind of leaders your company—and the future—deserves.
