On Saturday, October 4th, I’ll be presenting at the groundbreaking Creativity in Business Conference in Washington D.C. When conference founder Michelle James approached me to speak, I was beyond thrilled for the opportunity to be in community with fellow creative entrepreneurs who really get the value of creativity in the work world! Not only am I excited to lead a break-out session on the Right-Brain Business Plan, I’m also looking forward to a full day of experiencing and learning innovative approaches focused on individual, group & organizational creativity in business.
Creativity is widely considered the new capital of 21st century business. New ideas, new innovations, new systems and new structures depend on accessing novel levels of creativity — for everyone, not just the creatives or “artists.” Everyone is creative and everyone could use an extra creative boost, especially in the world of business. At this event, we’ll explore different facets of creativity as the key driver in navigating and thriving in the new work paradigm.
This event is for entrepreneurs, leaders, managers, learning/innovation officers, trainers, consultants, coaches and anyone who wants to be more innovative and adaptive in the changing world of work. I bet that’s YOU!
I’m also excited that author Sam Horn will be a panelist. I love her book POP! Stand Out in Any Crowd.
Here’s the lowdown:
CONFERENCE from 9:00AM-5:30PM: Lively, Content-rich, Experiential Break-out Sessions each with a different focus related to the theme of Applied Creativity in Business; Engaging Thought Leader Panels explore the creativity-centered work paradigm through the lens’ of leadership, social media, adaptive strategy and creative thinking.
FESTIVAL from 5:30PM-7:30PM: Comedy, Music, Networking, Book Signings, Give-Aways and hors d’oeuvres from Mie N Yu restaurant.

I can’t wait to be back in the D.C. area. I was out there last year as a Circle Coach for CTI’s Quest program and had a blast making new friends on the East Coast. This visit, I’m looking forward to doing yoga at Tranquil Space and connecting with my D.C. friends!
Amazing. Congratulations!
i am so excited for you! i also believe that creativity is the next big thing or “the new capital” as you put it and businesses are not good at seeing the value in creativity in the workplace but it’s the best way to problem solve, IMHO.
good luck at the conference and i look forward to reading about it!
ps: will The Chief Happiness Officer be there? he is really great about happiness/creativity in the workplace – you can check him out here:
