Creativity in Brainstorming

Last week I attended an interesting seminar on the topic of applying creativity in coaching and brainstorming.
We did some hands-on workshops in the format of role-play. The results were astonishing.
For example, for practice, I was asked to express my issue (role play) to my coach by my choice of a famous quote or an object displayed on the table (there were many to choose from).
It is amazing how people can express themselves and see issues from a completely different perspective given the right creative stimulus.
I have already prepared some creative tools that I can use during my coaching session when the right opportunity arises.
