Write to Think opens up human potential, connecting us to our creativity and each other. Through the act of writing we help teams and individuals rediscover their own power to invent, influence and direct.
Write to Think
Create
Be
Designed and led by renowned writers in the fields of fiction, memoir, history, journalism, psychotherapy and education, WTT’s programmes use writing workshops to free our potential and sustain confidence in the contribution we make at work.
The Research
Writing occupies the whole brain. When we write, we observe closely, plan, imagine, bring ideas from nowhere into existence, create and populate worlds, discard the bad stuff, select and improve the good – and manage the whole process with a mix of openness and control. Every thinking process is engaged (the evidence is here).
As AI becomes ever more capable, maintaining that sense of full engagement at work is more vital than ever. Recent studies suggest that the most productive - and happiest - companies are those whose employees are most comfortable with the potential of the new technology, and with their own enduring value. Creating an environment where that sense of confidence can blossom has always been a priority for ambitious companies - creating attractive places for people to express themselves, in the words of one book - and has never been more critical.
When we write, the whole brain lights up - and with it our sense of confidence and purpose.
WTT’s workshops explore central aspects of work that can become blocked: attention, imagination, risk-taking, our relationships with each other and with work itself. They create the time and space to explore each participants’ talents, to encourage trust in imagination and intuition, and to develop a sustained confidence in our own abilities. Our programmes teach practical, memorable techniques to protect and amplify the human contribution to the workplace.

Revealed that we all have the power to use language to translate the things in our minds; too often in professional environments we find ourselves chasing the established language…[you] demonstrated how much power we have individually.
Ofcom
Successfully prompted us to think imaginatively about the organisation’s future

Much more sophisticated and thoughtful than other development sessions.
