The workplace is a unique setting endowed with a vast array of personalities with unimaginable talent, but sometimes most of them don’t reach their peak, even the high performers too.

It is the job of the leader to create the right environment to harness these talents and boost them for optimum performance.

The insight I will share with you today, has been tested among a sample group and there was significant growth in the creative ability of some of the subjects.

In most cases with many discovering talents and gifts they never knew they had.

The mind is a powerful tool with the potential of yielding enormous results for the person who puts it to work.

In a series of closed session trainings, I have emphasised the importance of expanding your mind beyond this physical realm, using imagination.

Imagination simply means putting images in action and sowing them as seeds into the earth realm.

Man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body, which he uses to interact with the physical realm.

Your team can experience an exponential increase in the creative capacity of members, if you will put what I am about to share with you today.

Through the use of imagination, you can become whatever you want to be, and even create anything you want in this world.

You can reach any height of productivity and creativity that you desire using the power of imagination.

Here are some tested techniques you can use to boost creativity and productivity in the workplace.

1. De-Clutter Everyone: In an organisation, we have different kinds of people and there will certainly be disagreements, but if the feeling lingers, it slows down progress. No team will reach its highest potential when the place is full of bitter aura.

Haven’t you been to somewhere or met a person, and you just could not stand the aura around the place or person?

The person might be nice, but there is something not clicking in you. That is our inner guidance system at work.

Why do you buy from shop A and not from Shop B? Most times, it is the impression that the sellers create in your mind and not necessarily the positioning or marketing, which are also good.

Everyone on your team should be asked to let go of every hurt or grievance and move on. They can share or choose to make amends on their own.

The truth is that it even slows down the individual’s progress, as he or she constantly projects thoughts of anger and resentment towards another.

How the earth works is that you receive a multiplied harvest of the thought seeds which you sow towards another. Sow thoughts of good, it comes back to you and vice-versa.

2. Subtly Inserted Impressions: Your eyes capture and relates to your mind, what it thinks is important for you to know, and things that concern you directly.

By using subtly inserted impressions, you can boost your team’s performance when you plant soft and direct messages into their consciousness.

Try placing subtle messages in every office that says:

Your creativity is what has made our business grow.

Our business can dare to dream bigger because of your high productivity level.

Thank you, we recognise our productivity and high level of creativity is what has brought us this far.

What the eyes sees constantly, it projects to the mind, until it processes it into your consciousness and activates the desire to be productive and creative.

Have you ever unconsciously stretched your hand to where the TV remote control is, thinking it’s still there, not knowing it has been moved? That is because your mind has registered the position, despite the fact that the remote control is movable.

That is why you hear people get angry and say: I do not like people moving my things.

This is simply because the mind likes to be in a normal state until it is jolted subtly or forcefully by a new and superior reality.

3. Intentional Projections: This has to do with using your emotions to intentionally project thoughts of progress for another.

Put your team members in twos and let each person spend 3 to 5 minutes every day, projecting thoughts of productivity and creativity towards his or her partner.

This works tremendously. It does not only create an aura that bonds everyone, each person receives a harvest of what he or she has projected for the other.

I am looking forward to getting your feedback.

Thank you for finding time to read this article.
