Managers define themselves by their actions. However, their day-to-day work does not offer much space to reflect and process them.

When questions about previous achievements or about a possible change of direction arise, continuous reflection and development enable leaders to withstand increased demands, even in the long term.

The picture language reveals a clear statement about personal strategies and approaches.

Painting awakens the inner creative child in adults, which allows them to find new impulses and solutions for professional challenges by tapping into their wealth of memories and experiences from their childhood. At the same time, managers learn to instinctively listen to their inner voices.

Painting uncovers a person’s true abilities that are often concealed by calculation or modesty. Knowing about these abilities is essential to gain clarity when deciding about a new job or a promotion. They can be quickly determined in a single workshop. The benefits to the participants are obvious.

Team building requires continuous work over a certain period of time in order to identify structures and behaviours as well as their effects. Later on, painting is used as a tool to develop solutions to relax the climate within the group and enable increased, productive collaboration.

By painting, children can be creative while revealing some of their immense wealth of inner images, emotions and experiences. They can count on that their images are embraced without judgement and that they can try out, discover and dare something.

If we learn to react to the children’s images in this way, we encourage them to develop their own expression as well as independence and self-confidence.

This turns painting into an activity for its own sake. Creative expression becomes a game – in the best sense of the word.
