MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING
Laura Thoma, owner of Thoma Designs, would love to be a speaker for your organization.  Whether you're with a business, non-profit, college, or social organization, Laura can tailor her message to fit your needs.
 
One of Laura's popular talks is "Embracing Your Creative Side," during which she introduces the Seven Stages of Creativity™.  Understanding the Seven Stages helps to demystify the creative process while teaching audience members how to avoid the pitfalls of self-sabotage.  When people embrace and apply the Seven Stages, their creativity flourishes in both their professional and personal lives.

“Our creative team building event set the mood for the entire meeting. When it was time to move on into the meeting portion of the day, I heard my colleagues say “we want to paint more”! Getting people in touch with their creative side sets the mood for amazing brainstorming sessions.  It was the perfect way to start our event!

TEAM BUILDING PROGRAMS

Below are a few examples of programs I have developed.  The team building exercises that I create are designed to encourage and nurture interaction, communication, trust, stretch, leadership, “on your feet” thinking, excitement and fun.  Any of these exercises can be based on universal themes that I will provide or I can customize them to reflect your company’s current goals.  Each exercise begins with the whole group working together to set the stage for smaller group work.  Smaller groups work together to create their “boogie,” story, or mosaic and then come together to share their project with the larger group.  Each program concludes with a whole group discussion about the overall experience. 

 

Rhythm Boogie:

This team-building exercise is a combination of movement and music.  Groups create their own rhythm-based movement piece focused around a given theme, as well as their own rhythm-based music using a variety of “user friendly” instruments such as drums, Kazoos, rhythm eggs, etc.

 

Once Upon a Story:

This team-building exercise is a combination of storytelling and improvisation.  The participants work together to convey their story in a specific genre using a variety of required story elements and adding their own sound effects.  Think old-time radio show!

 

Mosaics: Piece by Piece

This team-building exercise focuses on visual art.  Groups design a mosaic tile (foundation board) created around a theme, bringing their design to “life” piece-by-piece using small pieces of colored and textured art papers.
