The sessions on this page can be booked individually, or we can talk about creating combinations of as many of them as you would like.
I would love to chat about creating bespoke workshops or courses to meet your specific needs.
I HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN TEACHING & MENTORING.
Creativity increases Innovation
Creativity leads to coming up with new solutions to challenges and thinking outside the box thus giving your colleagues a competitive edge.
Creativity increases Empathy
Creativity can increase empathy by helping colleagues see things from different perspectives and thus benefit communication skills.
Creativity increases Confidence
Often we can feel that we are not creative - we are, we all are, we simply need to be given the tasks to enable us to feel this. Pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone is a fabulous confidence building tool.
Creativity increases Wellbeing
Creativity can have positive effects on mental and physical health, contributing to overall happiness and wellbeing.

SOME OF WHAT I OFFER . . .
CHARACTER
Using tried and tested techniques, honed over my 20+ years teaching career, I will guide you on a journey of discovery into how to build credible characters.
We will work in small groups to develop and build characters who pop from the page and really come to life - with ease.
Through intuitive questioning, I will help you to see how to enhance storytelling skills through sound foundations in characterisation.
SETTING
Using tried and tested techniques, honed over my 20+ years teaching career, I will guide you on a journey of discovery into how to build sensational settings.
Bringing in sensory writing will be an added benefit to enhancing wellbeing as it is a skill that is excellent for both creating sensational settings and as an aid to tackle anxiety.
STORYLINE
Using tried and tested techniques, honed over my 20+ years teaching career, I will guide you on a journey of discovery into how to build strong storylines.
From the shortest of stories and messages to more extended pieces, I will show you how to create storylines that are both confidently structured and memorable.
STORYTELLING
Build a short story in a day (2 x half day or 1 x full day session)
Over the course of the sessions we will explore the key skills involved in effective storytelling and will build a short story, individually or in teams, in a day.
The skills we will examine are: characterisation, setting, storyline, message, symbolism, genre and imagery.
These workshops can have a predetermined theme appropriate to your business aims or can have flexibility in thematic approach.
MYTHOLOGY
Using mythology in modern storytelling (2 x half day or 1 x full day session)
By examining the key stories from mythology we will establish how they can be brought into a modern setting whilst retaining their essential elements.
We will then explore how to build a fabulous story through the core pillars of character, setting and structure.
Finally, we will build our own stories in small groups using the skills learned in the first two parts of this intellectually stimulating, interesting workshop.
OPTIONS
There are many interesting options to explore if you're interested in a bespoke workshop, including but not limited to . . .
Poetry - haiku, sonnet, free verse, lyrics.
Drama - drama scripts, set design & stage craft.
Spoken word - bring your voice to life!
Monologue - dramatic and otherwise.
WHEN YOU INVEST IN THE CURIOUS WOLF
I am flexible in my approach to running workshops in both content and delivery.
The sessions outlined above may be of interest to you or you may be interested in different area - I will create something that is bespoke to your needs.
The sessions can be run individually, over the course of a few weeks/months, or as half day/full day workshops.
My workshops are interactive and I bring to the forefront my 20+ years teaching experience to intuitively question all participants.
Everyone will be involved, actively, and will be fully in the present for the duration of the session.
The benefits to mental health of being in the present, alone, are really quite outstanding.
Partnering with my other business, Com Bossa Studio, has enabled me to offer a range of beautiful, sustainable stationery packages to add on as an optional upgrade to the workshop package that you choose.
From personalised cards to stunning notebooks and journals, gifting has just reached a higher level.
THE PROCESS
In my down time I can often be found walking my two lurchers, Rudi & Pixie, or talking about them, or taking photos of them . . . .

I STILL HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS
The individual workshops listed above are 60 minutes in length each. They can be combined in any way of your choosing to create 90 minute sessions, half day workshops and full day workshops. The same session can also be run multiple times on the same day to different groups of staff. I am very flexible and keen to meet your staff enhancement needs.
I can deliver the sessions in person or online. I am based in Scotland but I'm always happy to travel and don't add travel costs to my prices for travel within the UK.
Absolutely! Book in for a chat and let's work on putting together a session that is a perfect fit for your organisation.
Yes, I am The Curious Wolf - I personally deliver all sessions.
Just as soon as we have chatted about what you are looking for I will send you a proposal document with a range of prices for you to choose from. My prices are competitive and include optional stationery upgrades.
