Approach every challenge with fresh thinking and a creative mindset
Learn the secrets used by the most creative organisations in the world.
Let's Get Started
You’re an expert in what you do, but the world is changing fast and you constantly have to solve new challenges.
Old ways of working aren’t cutting it now, and you're not making the impact you want.
You know you need to bring some new energy to your work and life and want to find a fresh approach
...but you might not consider yourself a creative person.
Not true!
Everybody has the ability to think more creatively, but they have to be deliberate about creating the right mental conditions and simple structures to make creative problem solving…practical.
Once the conditions and structures are right, you will understand how to be innovative at work, how to solve everyday challenges and to make positive change in all areas of your life.
Imagine being able to easily navigate yourself and others into a creative mindset to develop better options for the problems you face.
When you have better options, you always make better decisions.
There are some days when solving problems is eļ¬ortless and other days it feels impossible.
However, this isn’t about chance and coincidence.
From working with the world's leading creative organisations for the last 15 years, I have discovered 3 barriers stopping us from being more creative at work.
I am on a mission to make people aware of these barriers and give them practical advice on how to overcome them.
Together we will increase your confidence and expertise in all things creative thinking.
Matt's ability to drop into any global or cultural context has helped me create behaviour change in literally thousands of co-workers.
Kirk Vallis, Head of Creative Development, Google
If I asked you to list the most creative companies in the world you would probably think of Google, Spotify, Dyson, Disney, Coca Cola & Unilever. & Unilever.
Behind the scenes, I have trained many of their people to think more creatively at work.
Companies like this believe that ideas can come from anyone and anywhere, so they invest in creative development through training at events and residential retreats.
This is a serious commitment of time and money...
Having trained over 40,000 people since 2005, I have distilled the key ingredients into a 20-part video learning program to energise your work and life with the same fresh and flexible thinking.
A fresh new 5-module online course, with quarterly live coaching sessions and access to an exciting new creative community, that will transform the way you think about - everything!
It links brain science and psychology with very practical approaches to help you and others get in the right mindset for creative thinking backed up by simple skills to generate new and different solutions.
The approaches are not just theoretical, they have all been practiced in the real world on real challenges and you will hear lots of stories to bring that to life.
I guarantee that by the end of this program you will:
Understand the behaviours you need to find a positive outcome to any challenge you face
Be more confident in your own creative ability
Have more awareness when you are stuck in old ways of thinking
Be able to think more creatively on demand alone and with others
Matt shares simple science which is fascinating but also makes it practical by giving you tips on how to implement it every single day.
James Cranmer, Managing Partner Triplepoint
In the program Creative Problem Solving Made Practical I will:
Define creativity as a critical skill in the future of work and make it more accessible to anybody no matter what role you are in.
Make you aware of the 3 big barriers getting in the way of our ability to think more creatively in our daily work..
Give you simple approaches to get in the right mindset to think creatively. After all, no technique will work unless you are thinking in the right way.
Share with you lots of tools and techniques to give creative thinking a bit of structure. It sounds ironic, but creativity thrives on a simple structure.
Help you apply the approaches in both a solo setting or when working with others and also in person versus virtual.

The course challenged me to change my thinking on how I approach problems and opportunities and the techniques are easy to apply - I have already seen benefits professionally and personally. In challenging times thinking differently is essential!

Whilst doing the course, I was also working on a personal project and what I learned with Matt really opened my mind. Without even realizing it, I began to apply what I had learned. It was brilliant and I highly recommend it!

This course was fantastic - the right mix of content and engagement to really get me thinking about my decisions. Matt's way of explaining a theory with images, examples and words made this course one of the best I have done.

About Your Coach
Hello I am Matt Bolton-Alarcon, founder of Special Sauce.
My passion is un-bottling people's full potential.
My creative career begin in film, tv and radio as a writer, producer and marketing director.
In 2005 I joined ?What If!, one of the biggest innovation consultancies in the world, now part of Accenture. I designed and rolled out large-scale training programs which gave global organisations such as Disney, Johnson&Johnson and Dyson a common process to innovate on important projects. I have also been fortunate enough to see behind the scenes of some of the world’s most innovative businesses.
I founded Special Sauce in 2016 as I spotted the opportunity to bring creative confidence to the masses, as a critical skill to be deployed on everyday issues.
