Topics for Alex Wadelton

Re-train your brain to be more creative in under an hour
Developed by Alex with Russel Howcroft, The Right-brain Workout keynote is designed to help businesses, schools, and organisations harness their creative thinking skills as individuals and as a collective.
We are all born creative geniuses, but have creativity taught out of us
Here Alex explores fascinating research that shows how we are born with creativity, and what are the factors that see our creativity lessen as we grow older. More importantly, he shows that all is not lost, and that, with a little nurturing, we can all re-ignite the inner creative genius inside all of us.
What do all the most successful businesses and individuals have in common? Creativity
Look around: Google, Tesla, Apple, Samsung, Canva, Alibaba, Amazon… they’re all creative businesses at their very core, often run by a visionary who just wanted to do something different. It’s this creative thinking that we all need to harness. Alex can help you do just that.
Being creative isn’t a “nice-to-have”. It’s a necessity for the future
Robots and AI are coming for many current day jobs. If you’re not able to think creatively, you (and your business) will be left behind. Alex will show you can harness creativity to thrive.
How you can use creativity to change the world, and make yourself happier in the process
Here Alex runs through how he was able to get a statue of Nicky Winmar made, get supermarkets to re-think their short-term plastic promotions, and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for a range of charities. And he details the positive effect that helping people has had on his mental health, and how it’s important for everyone to act with compassion too.

Author of “Future Fit: How to Stay Relevant and Competitive in the Future of Work”- business book of the year 2019

The Right-brain Workshop couldn’t have reared its head at a better time for us. We were part way into the second lockdown. I realised pretty quickly in lockdown most things could be done remotely and to the same caliber however creativity became harder. Losing creative mojo for a marketing and communications team could be quite catastrophic. Alex joined our regular quarterly all-in marketing session and delivered The Right-brain Workshop (based on the hugely successful book) and gave our marketing engine the creative reset and reboot we were all craving. The time flew by, but the impact sustained the entire year and more. We started looking at things through a different lens, felt reinvigorated and back to looking at things beyond our crisis vantage point. Not your typical workshop, the fun and learnings were in-part equal and impactful. This will become an annual part of our calendar.
