SPRING RETREAT – DUBLIN MAY 6th-9th
Facilitators confirmed. The agenda set....
‘Uncovering Creativity and Breaking Business Barriers’
A two day workshop that will change the way you think
The fabulous Merrion Hotel in Dublin will host the MAAW 2012 retreat this spring where delegates will turn insights into foresights, learn to grow richer as they grow older and literally and artistically immerse themselves in creativity!
This is a hands-on, real time, mind expanding, fully interactive, unique event!
Make no mistake you will come away with a different view on creativity and potentially, a new way of doing business!
Breaking Business barriers
Gerald O’Neill
Is marketing the disposable discipline?
Gerard O’Neill is Chairman of Amárach Research working with senior management teams to create resilient strategies for the future.
His session will explore the megatrends shaping the future landscape for marketing agencies and their clients over the next five years, designed to help delegates leave with at least one idea as to how they can future-proof their business – and succeed.
Brian Moore
Growing Older, Growing Richer while cascading your values within your organisation’
Brian truly "walks the talk" and has helped hundreds of business owners and their employees increase their referral revenue. By teaching business owners how to predictably and consistently get in front of more profitable prospects Brian will show us how to create a life rather than just making a living!
Siobhan McDonald
Empty your mind - from blank canvas to tangible creative outcome
Siobhán is a visual artist and will work with our groups to demonstrate how to move from the conscious mind into a better creative space to allow for a more in-depth freedom of expression.
We will also get down and dirty as we create a group ‘piece of art’ under her guidance, while exploring the manifestation of creative thinking and practice into a tangible outcome.
Martin Roper
Understanding character manifestation as part of the creative writing process
Martin Roper is an author who earned his MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa. He is the author of Gone which The Washington Post called “One of the nastiest and most truthful modern novels about the cruelties and disappointments of love’.
Martins workshop will get you writing fast.
You’ll learn how to ‘read like a writer’, one of the more crucial aspects of the craft of writing about how in the story and the novel it’s all on the first page - can the same be said of your presentations? We’ll look at some of the most famous opening and closing pages in world literature and debate what learning’s can be taken to our next pitch.
Join us in Dublin and open your mind!
