Creative intelligence, as I define it, is the capacity to generate both novel and useful insights and then discern and act upon the best of them. Creative intelligence is something each human being possesses on a spectrum – and creative intelligence is activated collectively with others.
Let me offer some perspective on how powerful – and not passive – our activated imagination and creative intelligence can be to bring about the change we desire.
Living in a constant state of fight-or-flight can be exhausting. It wears down our bodies, affects our well-being, and makes it hard to focus and think creatively. It can also make us feel isolated.
I’ve been curious about how we can break this cycle of automatic reactions without ignoring the tough issues.
Can enjoying simple things, like looking at the sky, really change how we react in conflicts?
If you’re skeptical, let’s look at the science for a moment.
Books aren’t just objects. Books are agents of wonder as they expand my perspective on what is real, what is true, and what is possible.
Many clients, customers, audience members, and readers often ask me about the books that shape my world, so I offer here a glimpse into my reading journey —touching upon themes ranging from business strategies to personal well-being.
Many clients – leaders, startup founders, business owners, authors – express what I would call a Wise Rise. Maybe you can relate. You’re deeply committed to meeting the challenges necessary to grow people’s awareness of your unique point of view, services, or products so you can elevate them (rise) but with a more mindful expenditure of time, energy, resources, and pacing (wise).
Have you ever questioned whether your voice and business can truly make a difference? Perhaps you’ve felt overwhelmed by the state of the world, thinking that your contributions are insignificant. In a world on fire, it’s easy to feel like just another voice lost in the noise. But here’s the truth: whether you’re a leader, a professional, a startup founder, or a creative individual, you possess the ability to ignite change in this new world of work by embracing the authority of your unique point of view. Let’s shift our perspective together.
Collaboration is an essential part of any business. You and your team must come together to solve problems and implement creative solutions, but maybe you’re not getting the desired results. One person might contribute all the ideas while others stay silent or your group keeps coming up with the same proposals that don’t yield new results.

Isn’t that idea humming in the back of your foggy mind these days? Maybe you feel as if you’re moving more deliberately (okay, slowly) anyway, as if your mind seems to be processing a bit more, uh, deeply, too. So, why not honor that fact and fashion spacious pacing and pausing into an art?
“I don’t think I’m cut out to be a leader,” a client said to me last year. “Maybe I just need a different business model that doesn’t require me to lead people.” Like so many CEOs, entrepreneurs, founders, directors, and…
Despite the world’s weight these days, we human beings by necessity must dream better ways to live and work, lead, and play into reality. We can rise wisely and together.
Today let’s seek trends for hope that lead to the need for you and me to dream of a new 2023 story sooner than later.
