KYLE-cropped

Kyle Scheele

Creativity & Innovation Expert
Author of “How to Host a Viking Funeral”

If there’s one belief holding you back from getting the most out of your team, it’s this: “some people are creative, and some aren’t.” Kyle contends that mindset is outdated. In reality, creativity is a skill anyone can learn—just like tracking expenses or processing invoices. Kyle will show you how to transform yourself and your organization into an innovation machine, offering practical tips to generate more and better ideas, explaining the 5 essential elements of every idea, and helping you avoid common idea-killers in the workplace.
