Creativity Toolkit
by Kittie Watson, Ph.D. and Larry Barker, Ph.D.
Performing effectively in new organizational environments requires innovative ways of approaching work tasks. Problem-solving strategies and tactics that have worked in the past may not be as effective as they once were, and many of today's challenges and opportunities require new ways of exploring options. This toolkit offers several options for thinking in new ways and for generating new ideas.
Designed to provide teams with options to enhance creativity when generating new ideas and tackling problem-solving tasks, tools are grouped into three sections:
idea clarification, idea generation, and idea screening.
Because particular tools are designed for specific tasks, the tools in this kit work best when adapted to individual situations and participants, and some may work better for your team than others. Use individually or structure for use within work teams. Use a combination to help your team achieve its goals.

Playing Snomodust will allow participants to communicate with culturally “different” people, experience how agreements about norms improve communications and understand how competent communication enhances workplace interaction. Participants may discover through the Snomodust simulation that their attitudes towards differences, whether at the individual or cultural level, compromise their relationships and their workplace effectiveness. After working with Snomodust, organizations will discover an enhanced capacity for navigating change and building top-performance teams.
Meditation Techniques for Stress Management
by Larry Barker and Kittie Watson, Ph.D.
For a number of reasons, meditation tends to be overlooked as a potential tool for stress reduction. The many benefits of the practice can be obscured by its reputation as a "touchy-feely", spiritualistic practice, one favored by hippies contorted into uncomfortable positions while changing meaningless sounds. This image of meditating has, unfortunately, discouraged many people who could potentially benefit from utilizing some of the host of meditation techniques available from learning meditation and trying it out.
