The Creative Clay Conversation

The Creative Clay Conversation is an original programme conceptualised by Leonard Kok, an experienced corporate trainer and senior facilitator of more than 10 years. A specialist in effective communication strategies, Leonard spent more than 6 years of facilitating and teaching air-dry clay to organisations in the private and public sectors.


The Creative Clay Conversation is based on the learning theory of Constructionism, which means that one learns through personal discovery of knowledge and its meaningfulness to themselves. Through the Creative Clay Conversation, participants will go through the process of self-discovery through expressing their thoughts, feelings and attitudes in creating clay artifacts that they can identify with. What we learn in the process of making things that we care about sinks much deeper into our belief system.

In this fun all-weather teambuilding activity, participants make colourful clay pieces which serve as metaphors to describe themselves, their organization and relationship with their colleagues. The session will include many creative and impactful experiential, hands-on, minds on, clay activities which engage the whole being and therefore produce honest and meaningful conversations -- conversations that bond the team.

The learning outcomes include:

1. Change Management
2. Team Vision
3. Team Envisioning
4. Infusing Corporate Values
5. Teamwork
6. Leadership styles
7. Working with limited resources

The Creative Clay Conversation enables your key stakeholders to breathe life into their own creations and transpose values into the colourful clay pieces. Instead of a file containing notes that are usually filed away, your key stakeholders bring back values which are infused into the artifacts - back to their workplace! We notice that when the stakeholders are proud of the objects they have made, they display them in their work areas. What better way to imbibe the organization's values!
