A Basket Full of Stars: How to Communicate with Colour and Creativity

A Basket Full of Stars

Picture: Jerrycharlotte Miller

What does it take to become a colourful, creative communicator in your writing and public speaking? How do you craft a message that sparkles in the mind of your audience?

I’ll never forget sitting in a church in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, and hearing the pastor give these words of thanks to us: ‘If I was the ocean, I would give you a big fish. And if I was the sky, I would give you a basket full of stars.’ That is colourful, creative communication!

In this 44 minute audio seminar, recorded at the 2008 Christian Media Australia national conference, I cover:

  • The 4 phases of creativity and how to generate new ideas.
  • The 6 creative elements that will help your writing and speaking sparkle.

If you are interested in having me speak to your company or at your event you can view my current topics list here, and make contact with me here.

Q: When and how do you come up with your best ideas? What stellar examples of creative communication have you come across?
