Inspiring the NEW EDGE in Creativity & Innovation

From appearances before packed audiences at Lincoln Center and SXSW, to speaking in over 10 countries, I share my insights on culture, technology and leadership to audiences of thousands, and prove that my own expansive approach to life has infused my work with a creative and innovative edge. 

Today’s unprecedented speed of change is forcing companies to be dynamic like never before. Borrowing from the worlds of advertising, product development, technology, neuroscience and anthropology, I reveal how we can tap into our innate sense of creativity and yield a profound difference in our professional and personal lives. Borrowing from my Harvard background in social anthropology, as well as my years of business experience in creative advertising and Google, I provide a new, human-centric narrative and roadmap for how people and organizations can embrace a powerful approach to business innovation and growth.

For centuries, our workforce has been focused on specific roles and siloed divisions, but now the path to growth will come by inspiring every employee (from leader to individual contributor) with a new path to bring different, untapped sides of themselves to work, and ultimately become more curious, creative, innovative and action-oriented. My passion is to guide spark novel thinking and guide your organization to embrace a more creative and innovative approach.

Want more of a taste of some of the topics I love to speak about? Check out a few examples below!

The Expansiveness Edge: Expansiveness is about a holistic approach to strategy and engagement that embraces all of the unique skill sets, passions and idiosyncrasies of people. It is with this deeply human focus on what makes each of us tick, where we can start to create new possibilities by weaving our different perspectives together. Expansiveness provides the edge necessary for individuals, teams and organizations to innovate.

Cracking Creativity: Re-Engage Innate Creativity for Greater Personal & Team Growth. At our core, we are naturally creative, but some people feel so far removed from their creative and innovative selves. Understanding the framework for easily tapping into creativity, especially in highly disruptive times, is critical to productivity and growth.
