Framestorm® YOUR WAY to a more flexible mindset

Expand your perspective. Flip your brain. Learn how to systematically and playfully brainstorm at the level of interpretation and mindset turning the brain into an ally when experiencing challenges. Anette Prehn facilitates powerful Framestorm processes courses in English and Danish.

FLIP - the upcoming book

"FLIP" is an offshoot of the playful, experimental approach to practical plasticity that has guided Anette Prehn's work since 2005. She has developed the trademarked method Framestorm® which helps to grow the human "reframing muscle", i.e. the ability to identify a wider range of meaningful perspectives than the ones we habitually apply to situations. 

Knowing how to Framestorm - and understanding the 10 underlying neurological principles - is key to embracing diversity with genuine respect of one another (and not just as yet another box to be ticked). It is also key to emotion regulation and seeing opportunities and gifts during difficult times.

"FLIP" aims to be your manual for life: an invaluable companion to help you thrive and find meaning in the many changes, future fog and friction of the 21st century. It consists of 3 steps, 5 fingers and 50 perspectives.

"This book contains a revolutionary method to seeing relationships and challenges from new angles. With her Framestorm® method, Anette Prehn takes the reader by the hand precisely where you are stuck in a rigid position, where your thoughts run in circles and you can't see any possibilities. The book conveys in an easily accessible and refreshing way how the brain works. It contains lots of good points and cases - and deserves to become a bestseller with its clever, logical and sympathetic guidance."

Marianne Breds Geoffroy, specialist in psychiatry (PhD)

"A comprehensive Woodchucks Guidebook on relationships, self-perception, and not least, how one can flip—reinterpret—reality to fare better in the workplace and in private life."

WHAT PEERS SAY ABOUT FRAMESTORM®

“Framestorm is an elegant reframing method that activates potent processes in the brain. This article is very nicely done. With its wealth of examples of useful reframings, it expands the practical armamentarium that people have available to reframe and thus offers significant help to readers. The literature review is impressive. Very few people writing for business are capable of doing such a complete literature review.”

Dr. Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., who coined the term “self-directed neuroplasticity”

“A revolutionary method to view relations and challenges from new angles”.

Marianne Breds Geoffroy, specialist in psychiatry (PhD)

“FLIP, which is the textbook of the Framestorm course, is an intelligent and exceptionally useful proposal for a ‘manual’ for an old brain in a modern world. Read it and make your brain your ally”.

Imran Rashid, specialist doctor, author 

“The Framestorm method with ‘The Five Fingers’ give you dexterity in paving new pathways in your brain.”

Kjeld Fredens, specialist doctor and brain researcher

“A powerful example of playful intelligence! Anette Prehn, who has spent the majority of her career thinking about and researching the science of reframing, has developed a model called “Framestorm,” to help put reframing techniques into everyday life. In order to become a better reframer, whenever one spots old frames intertwined with unhealthy emotions, Anette advocates initiating a Framestorm to disrupt the old neural connections and forge new ones … The key to Framestorming is to “just keep going,” no matter how outlandish the frames are that your imagination is creating. Anette puts it well: “When the reframing brainstorm begins, the individual gently and playfully pauses the neural connection that has always fired and redirects attention to constructive alternatives that induce resourcefulness.”

Anthony T. DeBenedet, M.D., author of “Playful Intelligence”

What course participants and organizers say about FRAMESTORM®

“Some truly great days for our members. Anette Prehn’s work in creating understanding for others and for what happens around us is so important – and she has done it to 5 big stars. Anette masters conveying complex matters in a very special way, making it engaging, and one is really motivated for the significant benefits – both at work and at home. The participants wrote in the evaluations, among other things: ‘Probably the best course I have participated in with benefits that can be applied both professionally and personally’ and ‘It is one of the best courses I have attended for a long time. And it was excellent that it was spread out over several days, keeping you engaged. I think many could greatly benefit from this course.”

Briddi Escherich, consultant and course organizer, Finansforbundet

“After the Framestorm course with Anette Prehn, I feel vaccinated against rigidity. I can tease my brain in a new way, so it continues to evolve.”

Morten Kragh-Sørensen, Agree Consulting, negotiation expert

“This course should be available to everyone! In the course, I received help to change an interpretation that has been enormously limiting and inhibiting in my life. No matter how much I wished it to be different, I was stuck in a draining frame that locked my behavior and limited my options for action. With the help of Anette Prehn’s Framestorm method, I was able to fully navigate the situation and view it from new and different angles. The questioning framework and techniques of Framestorm forced my brain gymnastics onto new paths that I would not have explored otherwise. Guided by my value compass, I could freely and actively change perspective, so instead of a draining frame, I obtained a resourceful frame on the same situation. The situation is unchanged, but my interpretation of it has moved to a new place, which creates value and agency for me. Anette’s keen attention and sense for what unfolds in the space create safe conditions for learning and development. Framestorm is a powerful tool that brings great relief!”

Susanne Kolind, Director

“It is essential to learn to Framestorm. It’s as simple as that.”

Thomas Vigild, teacher and game designer

“It has been absolutely fantastic and a complete life transformation for me to participate in the Framestorm course.”.

Lisbeth Bender, executive business coach

“I have acquired tools to quickly and securely navigate all around the ‘elephant’ and adopt new forward-looking strategies, which unleashes energy in my daily leadership role. The value in my everyday life is simply that, through the techniques learned, I manage to view challenges from different perspectives – swiftly – and can ‘share’ this positive energy, which fosters followership in the organization.”
