Whether I’m delivering an hour long lecture to the International Women’s Forum, or a full day business workshop on Innovation and Creativity, my goal is to engage, entertain, and persuade.

Using art to illustrate how poor we are at noticing, I empower audiences to recognize that so many of things we seek—change, innovation, creativity, team-work, better communication—begin if and when we make the time and slow down and direct our attention.

I have taught at universities, schools, museums and galleries on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as extensively in the private sector.

Topics I tend to cover include, but are not limited to:

  • The power and pitfalls of language

  • The limits and dangers of awareness and perception

  • The impact of pressure and stress on creativity and innovation
