Helping teams build the world’s best ideas
We host interactive trainings on creativity, collaboration and critical thinking
Our Mission
Throughout her decade-long career as a creative director, Andi Tonis watched thousands of great ideas die simply because teams weren't equipped to build them. Disorganization, poor communication and a lack of trust were responsible for almost every missed opportunity.
Which got her thinking: What other brilliant solutions have we missed out on?
What would our world look like if every great idea had the right team behind it?
A Thousand Tiny Sparks was born to do just that.
Curriculum
Ideas (and how they come to life) are shaped by an intricate web of factors: our environment, our organization, our relationships, and our motivation. When one improves, the others do too. Our curriculum focuses on practical ways to reduce friction and build trust at every stage in the process, resulting in stronger teams and better ideas. We teach skills like:
• Setting up projects for success
• Building strong creative briefs
• Leading effective brainstorms
• Evaluating and selecting winning ideas
• Giving feedback that builds both the work and the team
Plus, our tools are built for the realities teams face today, including tight timelines, shrinking budgets and internal politics. Hands-on exercises, personal stories and follow-up support create an entertaining and effective experience unlike any other.
