Why does cultivating Creativity
make a difference in Leadership ?

In the landscape of human cognition, creative thinking stands as one of our most powerful tools for innovation, transformation and growth. It represents the brain's remarkable ability to generate novel ideas and solutions by making unexpected connections between different concepts. Unlike its analytical counterpart, creative thinking asks "What if?" and "How might we?" It thrives in ambiguity and embraces uncertainty as fertile ground for innovation, with the ultimate goal of expanding possibilities and thinking beyond conventional boundaries.

Change starts from the inside out. First, a person experiences change in themselves, the way they are thinking and then their relationship with the environment changes. When this transformative journey is supported with time, resources, and communication, the entire development process is enhanced.

Coaching throughout the cultivating creativitivity process helps to uncover new potential skills and identifies areas that need development. Experiential programs encourages positive development of these new skills and behaviors throughout the individual or/and organizational transformation process.

"Sit with what you already have, and dream with it in a new way!"

Shaun McNiff

Defining a vision and purpose provides motivation, effeciency, direction and meaning to the personal transformation. Her expereince with change turns into an enjoyable journey. Experiential practices develop awareness and creativity skills that enable person to discover new ways.

While creative thinking embraces ambiguity and uncertainty, critical thinking involves analyzing, evaluating, and making reasoned judgments about existing information. Critical thinking represents convergent thinking, where the brain focuses on narrowing down to the best solution or most accurate conclusion. These two modes of thinking work together like dance partners. Creative thinking provides the raw material and expansive possibilities, while critical thinking shapes and refines these ideas into actionable insights.

ONC has been developed by applying it to the needs of all generations in the process of individual or organizational transformation in order to adapt and find a healthy balance in transitonal period for new hires, new promotions, new roles. The ONC model includes both group and individual work. It is experiential, experimental with Intermodal Expressive Arts ( Visial arts, painting, music, dance and poetry.)

ONC (Orienting to the New Culture) Programs

Orientation to the New Culture - "ONC" Programs:

The ONC program is an experiential, experimental, coaching-based and holistic model that I have developed by applying 1300 hours and 14 programs to 101 people within the scope of my doctoral study. I developed the ONC from implementation experience of group and individual programs. (University and Master Programs in Germany, Reputable Companies in Turkey and individually application to the X, Y and Z generations in different countries of the world.) I received "Magna Cum Laude" as a honorary degree. The program is also a model, it can be integrated into business systems or can be applied individually. For example, Human Resources Orientation Process, New Idea Creation Process, Adaptation Process for Remote Work, New Product Development Processes or transition to education abroad. My research continues and expands after my PhD process. ONC implementation scope became 20 programs, 400 participants and more than 2000 hours.

ONC Group Application

ONC Individual Application

Creativity Development

ONC 1 and ONC 2

ONC Group programs are the process of developing awareness and cooperation with the group and finding a way to adapt to the new normal. Group work also offers the participants different perspectives and the power of the support of togetherness.

ONC 1 and ONC2

ONC individual program provides support by offering to explore different ways to find one's own ways/ formulas in the transition period. It enables the participant to discover methods to decreased the adaptation preriod and integrate the new skills into daily life.

Comments from ONC participants

She has been very sensitive to the different participants and has managed to get a mix of technically oriented engineers and creative designers equally interested in the content. Both the personal feedback of the participants in our committee as well as the results of their evaluation were above average positive. It was very interesting for me to observe the implementation of her coaching methods, which she developed in her scientific dissertation.
