“I realise that what was missing in many courses was the kinaesthetic element... Lots of visual lots of auditory and not much activity... Claire showed us how kinaesthetic activities and drama can facilitate amazing openings out in people and bring forth delicious hidden talents...” Peta Heskell Director of Flirt Coach

 

“I feel these are excellent tools for teaching listening, sharing, cooperation, flexibility, self-expression etc. through creativity.
The day reminded me how creative a group of people can be even when they don't previously know one another well. It was totally joyful! 
We were let off the leash and delighted ourselves with what we were able to produce.
Claire enabled us to do this working openly, sort of on the edge allowing our spirit to emerge.
The style of the day was to go right to the essence of magic and creativity. The day served to renew my hope and sense of confidence that everyone has a creative source inside them. ”

In Business

leading edge development through creativity

Claire Schrader has adapted her unique style of working to the business field.

leading edge development through creativity is an unique transformational aproach for imaginative and visionary organisations with a core focus on feminine leadership development using potent drama tools for accelerated learning and results...

...because people learn faster and more effectively through story

If you can open minds you can create fascination and fascination is a great prize. It is rare that successful companies are not fascinating and the opposite is also true.”
Andy Law, Founder of St Lukes Advertising Open Minds

leading edge development through creativity enables individuals, teams and groups to find creative ways of expressing and resolving the dynamics of their working and personal lives.

Working through a metaphorical language, important issues can be discussed and worked through without the fear of exposure or embarrassment.

The approach brings participants into a creative space, inviting them to meet and move beyond their limitations in order to open a way forward for change.


The approach is designed to:

  • open up many ideas and avenues of thought, in a relaxed and co-operative workshop atmosphere

  • release energy and excitement in teams

  • challenge and facilitate new learning

  • discover the dynamics that underlie the issues through archetypes, story and creativity
  • have participants stimulated and energised right up to the last moment

  • achieve radical and meaningful change
"Claire helped me with an innovation workshop for a team in a big drinks company to explore customer types, occasions and needs. And I can safely say it is still one of the most productive and mind expanding sessions I ever took part in. Given the aim of these 'awaydays' is to break free from normal business thinking I can heartily recommend exploring this."

John Grant, co-founder of St Luke's Advertising, marketing consultant and author of the best selling book The Branding Manifesto

Programmes for Leading Feminine Edge

In the last few years, an increasing body of evidence is gathering that feminine skills and leadership will be needed to keep apace with the unprecedented change and radical shifts that business is likely to see in the coming decades.

A high percentage of talented women are operating at half their potential, within the prevailing culture and existing models of business. A high proportion of these women leave their organisations to create highly profitable businesses, depriving their organisations of high earning potential and significant impact on bottom line.

How do we capture that talent within a corporate setting and enable women to bring their best to their organisations and area of influence?


Amazon Power programmes work with the premise that in business professional women need a certain warrior spirit that is powerfully female.  These leading edge programmes work with potent drama tools that are highly practical, enabling women to access their authentic feminine nature and stand in their full power as women.

Working through the models of feminine power in mythology and literature, this approach enables women to peel away layers of programming, reclaim the primordial roots of ancient feminine power and integrate it into their working lives for significant and measurable impact.

With ten years of producing outstanding results, Making Moves programmes work through metaphor and experiential learning using non-linear, post rational methods that outstrip most conventional approaches in results and effectiveness.

“Claire Schrader’s workshop was powerful and confirming. She managed to get the group work at a very deep level in a short period of time. Not only did the individual participants manage to connect to their own power but also a fantastic connection between the members of the group was created. A strong feeling of female support was immediately established. One of the key aspects of feminine leadership, the way I see it, is creating environments in which people can grow. Claire managed to create this in a matter of seconds.”
