Adam Kingl Speaking Topics

  • CREATIVITY FOR LEADERS: HOW TO RADICALLY ENHANCE INNOVATION IN YOUR TEAM

    With a background in both the arts and business, Adam has researched the most successful leaders in creative fields and applied their habits, processes and dynamics to leadership principles for any industry to increase an organiZation’s creativity, innovation, adaptability and inspiration. He explores ‘micro-habits’, day to day interactions, tips and exercises to enhance creativity in ways that can be applied immediately and do not require massive investment of resources. These leadership lessons are derived from enormously fun examples from Carnegie Hall, writing, television, Broadway theatre, culinary arts, painting and amusement park ride design. Audiences will be inspired and tickled by Adam’s approach, which manages to communicate profound ideas in light-hearted ways.
