Natalie Nixon is a global authority on creativity with a background in anthropology, fashion, academia, and a lifelong dancer—she has published 2 bestselling books on Creativity and the future of work: The Creativity Leap and Move. Think. Rest. Natalie was shortlisted for the Thinkers50 Talent Award, selected for the Thinkers50 Radar class of 2024, and her work has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, and Inc. Magazine.

Natalie and Brian sat down together and discussed creativity in the era of AI and why it is essential for leaders to practice the discipline of creativity and how creativity contributes to the top and bottom line. They talked about a technique called doodle sprints, spending time developing wonder as well as rigor, how we're in the middle of an imagination era, a new category of activities called "key performance experiences," how she would coach a group of leaders on a business version of a baking show who were skeptical about the importance of creativity and whether they were even capable of being creative, and so much more.
