The Journey:
Out of the Shadows and into the light

TEDxIsfeld was a satellite event for the TED Women's gathering that year. I chose to share a very personal talk on my own journey to reconnect to my creativity and my feminine nature, while hoping what I had to say would encourage many others to do so as well. 

Preparing and giving a TEDx talk is a wonderful experience. It felt both personal and professional in a way I've not experienced before. To me, TED is where the two can come together in a powerful way. I hope you enjoy watching and that my talk offers you not only insights into your own personal life journey but also ways in which I might be able to support a leadership or innovative initiative within your organization.

EVE Programme
Évian-les-Bains, France

Plenary talk:
Liberating our Naturally Creative Power

Workshop:
Creativity and Authentic Leadership

While our authentic nature is powerful and confident, often when we dare to be empowered we meet parts of us that don’t feel powerful or confident. In fact, they frequently sabotage our success. When this happens, we tend to judge ourselves rather than empower ourselves by coming back to the powerful inner self. In this workshop, you’ll experience this inner self that is creative, always present, and a source of strength, confidence, and other qualities of an effective leader. You’ll learn practical ways to engage with this powerful flow.

I had the honor and privilege of speaking to hundreds of women and men at the annual EVE Programme in Evian. EVE is a program to empower women in business in French organizations. The event was held at the gorgeous Hôtel Royal - Evian Resort  on Lake Geneva.

Podcast Conversations & Interviews

The Creative Giant Show

In this interview with Charlie Gilkey, I talk about regaining and reclaiming trust in ourselves and our creativity.

You can listen to the podcast here.

The Amiel Show

In this enlightening conversation, I spoke with Amiel Handlesman about how Creativity is much broader than art or even new ideas and products, andtouched on how Creativity isn’t even just about creativity. It’s about being skilled in emotions, difficult conversations, and leadership. I also led Amiel through an exercise to experience his own Creative Source, which you can do yourself while listening to the conversation.
