Break Out

A workbook that will change your life.

You want to move forward. Think and act on your own. Take responsibility. You feel that something has to change. But what? How do you want to change your world, and are you able to? What do you need to do this? And what will you have to leave behind to achieve your goals?

This workbook will help you to find your own personal, crea- tive way forward – to forge ahead with Resign Thinking. Your path will be disruptive and take you into new worlds. With the worksheets in this book, you will recognise your limits – and exceed them.

[Think and act for yourself]

Resign Thinking is the deepening and expansion of the well-known creative method Design Thinking.

Design Thinking tries to develop projects that transcend fixed structures. Instead of following certain specific pre-defined steps in a project, it combines a methodological approach, agile experimental interpretation processes, brainstorming, prototyping and evaluation. In Design Thinking, experiences as a member of a team lead to success.

[Individual skills]

 

Resign Thinking starts on a deeper level: Here you, as an individual, are the focus – there may not be a specific project, a defined team. Resign Thinking is based on your own individual skills and creativity. How can you use your attributes to achieve your goals, rather than someone else’s? How can you best tap your own potential? How will you shape your future?

Creative Thinking

With Resign Thinking you will awaken your intrinsic creativity. Creative thinking and acting are skills you can learn. Make the most of your potential and get creative – because your creative self is an even more inspired version of yourself.
