Tim Dixon

Partner & Czar of Creativity and Chaos

Tim has been serving organizations since 1987 by designing and facilitating organizational experiential learning programs. His creative workshop designs have taken him across North and South America, Europe and Asia to deliver dynamic programs and processes for many progressive organizations. His focus is experiential training, often creating programs that are fun and action-based. Tim believes that unless you are able to make a direct transfer to the work environment, then the experience did not achieve its full impact.

After my initial meeting with Tim regarding the activity and the way he collected information from us, I knew you would organize a great event, I was excited about this activity and by the end was more than pleased. It was more than I expected. Thank you for your professionalism and your expertise.
