Our friend Cyriel Kortleven from New Shoes Today in Belgium and The Netherlands is coming to Australia again in early 2010, and we have persuaded him to put on a couple of his unique workshops - A Spoonful of Sparkles and Time to NOW!

When last Cyriel was here we had him present to about 50 people at a CEN meeting, and he made some lasting friendships there, so I know those who met him will be delighted he is coming out again.

Cyriel will have some time to work with specific clients, so if you are interested in looking at this opportunity please contact me on bill@mindwerx.com and I’ll connect you with him.  But what I am most excited about is the two public workshops I have convinced him to do in both Melbourne (Mar 9-10) and Brisbane (Mar 18-19).

a Spoonful of Sparkles

Make your messages contagious.

How is it possible that some very interesting messages can't find an audience and other 'urban legends' are spread worldwide without any effort?

'a Spoonful Of Sparkles' is a workshop where we support people and organizations to make their message stick. We explore the principles of 'stickyness' and facilitate the process to create a very contagious message. A big part of the workshop is based on the book 'Made to Stick' from Dan and Chip Heath. The real new part are the methods and techniques that we use to answer the ‘how’ question. How can you make something more simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, emotional and create a story.

Time to NOW

Discover new ways to look at time

‘I have no time’, ‘Time flies’, ‘Just in time’, ‘I haven’t seen you for a while’, Time is money’, This product or service will save you a lot of time’, …

These sentences are some of the expressions with time. Time is an aspect of life that will join us from the moment when we are born until our earth time has come to an end. It looks like the whole society is built upon the task to get control over time: organizations have to work efficiently; people want to be available always & everywhere; we buy all kind of products to save us time so we can plan more activities in our spare time; wasting time is a sin; …

The classical time-management focuses on the efficient planning of our clocktime. It doesn’t pay as much attention to the experience of time & priorities of life. People tend to forget that a flow is needed of on the one hand investing energy in dreams & innovation but on the other hand letting go fixed patterns & activities.
