About this session

AI can generate ideas, drafts, images, concepts and variations at remarkable speed.

That can make creative work easier, but it can also create a new risk: people may begin from the machine's output so often that their own imagination, curiosity and confidence receive less practice.

This session focuses on how to keep human creativity active while still benefiting from AI.

Participants explore the difference between generating more ideas and generating more original ideas, practice producing their own starting points before using AI and learn how to challenge, combine and reshape machine-generated suggestions rather than simply accepting them.

The session also addresses creative confidence. When AI appears faster or more prolific, people can start undervaluing their own contribution.

Participants reconnect with the parts of creativity that depend on lived experience, taste, judgment, curiosity, context and unusual connections.

The final module helps them build a personal human-plus-AI creative process that uses technology as a stimulus without allowing it to become the source of every idea.

What’s covered

Keep Your Own Creativity Switched On

Every length
  • Start with your own ideas firstParticipants generate an initial set of ideas, questions or directions before opening an AI tool.
  • Notice when AI has become the default starting pointParticipants identify tasks where they automatically ask AI before forming any view of their own.
  • Create before you evaluateParticipants practice producing several possibilities without immediately judging whether they are practical, polished or good enough.
  • Follow your own curiosityParticipants identify questions, tensions or unusual observations that genuinely interest them and use those as creative starting points.

Use AI to Expand, Not Replace, Ideas

90 minutes and longer
  • Ask for contrast, not just moreParticipants use AI to generate opposing, unusual or deliberately different directions rather than simply asking for another similar idea.
  • Challenge the first outputParticipants identify what feels predictable, generic or overly safe in an AI response and deliberately push beyond it.
  • Combine human and machine inputParticipants take part of an AI-generated idea and combine it with their own experience, knowledge, audience insight or constraint.
  • Know when to close the toolParticipants identify when AI has provided enough stimulus and deliberately continue the creative work without it.

Build More Original Ideas

3 hours and longer
  • Draw from lived experienceParticipants identify observations, stories, frustrations or insights that come from direct experience and use them as creative ingredients.
  • Connect unrelated domainsParticipants deliberately combine ideas from different industries, disciplines, cultures or experiences and explore what emerges.
  • Use constraints to create differenceParticipants impose useful limits such as a specific audience, unusual format, tight budget or different point of view and generate ideas inside those boundaries.
  • Add taste and judgmentParticipants compare several possible ideas and articulate why one feels more interesting, useful or appropriate.

Protect Your Creative Confidence

Full day only
  • Stop comparing your speed with the machineParticipants distinguish rapid generation from meaningful creativity and notice when AI's speed makes their own slower thinking feel inadequate.
  • Allow unpolished ideas to existParticipants practice sharing or developing rough ideas before they are fully formed instead of comparing them with instantly polished AI output.
  • Keep ownership of the final choiceParticipants decide which ideas deserve development and why, rather than treating AI recommendations as objective rankings.
  • Build a human-plus-AI creative routineParticipants create a repeatable sequence such as human ideation, AI expansion, human selection, development and final review.
