Amanda Graham


My great passion is facilitating creative thinking skills with groups. Feedback from participants in my workshops highlights my ability to gel with groups I’ve not met before very quickly and my enthusiasm. Moments of insight and powerful learning they experience seems to stay with them.

Creative thinking techniques such as de Bono Six Thinking Hats, Mind Mapping, Metaphors, Provocation, Reverse Brainstorming, and many more creativity techniques are the mainstay of my portfolio.

My corporate life culminated in being Innovation Manager for a Science and Technology business then, 6 years ago, I moved into training and consultancy, and since then have worked on many and varied projects.

As part of the £2M promoting!nnovation programme I did more than 25 in-company 'live'’ creativity and innovation sessions in the West Midlands and run five Innovation Champions Programmes. I have worked on numerous Executive Development Programmes from the ‘Introduction to Corporate Leadership’ for senior Civil Servants at Sunningdale College to ‘Creative Thinking Skills’ with O2, the mobile phone company and on the Oxford Brookes MBA and at Warwick Business School. Some other organisations you might recognise are BT, Oxford City Council, the NHS, the DTI, Zurich Financial Services, Radio Aire and Magic.

I am a Continuing Professional Development junkie! Here’s my list… Master’s in Management Development in 1999, foundation course in the Transactional Analysis area of psychology, SIMA coaching qualification, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Advanced Facilitation Skills in USA, Thiagi’s Interactive Training Strategies.
