Kobus Neethling's Creativity Talks
Getting Above the Breakthrough Line
To think oneself into a state of depression and stress has become part and parcel of our personal and professional existence. We tend to blame other people and circumstances for our own pessimism and failure. The Above the Line model has a success record second to none. In more than 20 countries individuals, small and big business have committed themselves to a life and business above the line and they have never looked back. If you are not able to anchor yourself and your organisation above the breakthrough line then most of your efforts to change and reengineer are a waste of time and money.

Using your whole brain in the 21st Century
When one starts talking about the human brain, thinking closure often occurs. It is as if 'braintalk' is only for a few special people. Nothing could be further from the truth. Understanding your own brain preferences and those of others opens up doors you have never before thought possible. Creativity begins when you are able to explore all the possibilities of your own brain dominances and then go beyond those boundaries into other brain worlds to find new and different solutions. Gaining insights into your own brain preferences is only the first step; putting the whole brain into action is a critical step two. Whole brain business, management, sales and marketing, relationships, education, sport and parenting should never again be only for a few selected people; it is a theory and practice for everyone.
