Creative Thinking

‘A New Way of Learning

For a New Way Of Leading’

CAFFE Strategies is where inclusion meets innovation. We offer unique Intercultural Creativity® and Prismatic Leadership programs to develop the skills people need to WORK, CREATE and INNOVATE together.

Since developing intercultural competence (our ability to shift perspectives and adapt to cultures) parallels creative thinking development, our unique trainings integrate both developmental processes for individual and organizational success.

The CAFFE Strategies Prismatic Leadership workshop presented by CAFFE trainers Meghan and Sybil was both engaging and pertinent to the needs of our managers at the City of Cambridge. There were plenty of discussion breakouts, hands-on activities, and relevant takeaways to help our managers build trust and communicate more effectively. The post-training surveys showed a high approval rate and we are looking for opportunities to work with them again.Hide

Our staff at HUNTER was inspired by CAFFE’s unique point of view on how to drive intercultural creativity. As an integrated marketing communications agency, we are in the business of earning consumer attention, client relationships and staff dedication, and CAFFE’s powerful and motivating message reinforced how important it is to seek out, consider and embrace different perspectives in every facet of our professional (and personal!) lives. CAFFE speakers bring an incredible energy, enthusiastic passion and their own special perspective on how to shift, understand and expand the way people think.Hide
