Discover the secrets to unlocking creativity - when it matters most! Innovation and creativity are paramount in today’s rapidly changing climate.

Are you and your organization becoming more - or less - creative? Based on 2 decades of research into world-class innovators, we found the secrets for unleashing creativity. Are you ready?

Jonathan’s TED Talk on this topic won the best speaker of the conference. Participants will discover 5 core strategies to build a culture of creativity. Lessons and memorable anecdotes come from some of the most creative people and organizations in history, as well as Jonathan’s personal experience implementing these lessons as an entrepreneur, parent, educator, and with clients large and small.

We’ll explore game-changers, including: “Einstein’s Hour”, “Wilber’s Sensible Piece of Paper” and the “Innovator’s Equation,” which has been a game-changer for leaders across the country. This was a favorite for a global entrepreneurship summit in Sydney, Australia.

Key Focus Areas:

• Understand the importance of creativity and innovation
• Realize creativity and innovation can be nurtured
• Learn strategies that you can apply to improve your creativity and innovation
