Natalie Nixon

“Natalie spoke to a select group of our most valued business partners and employees at our annual meeting, and she hit an absolute home run. Centered on change and what is required in a fast paced, high growth environment to adapt and thrive, Natalie was on point and impactful. As a speaker, Natalie is warm, engaging, thoughtful and funny all while having absolute command of the audience based on her background and experience in both academia and the corporate world. Virtually every attendee declared Natalie “the best hour of the entire conference!”
– Mike Fouts, VP, Citrix

“As Natalie describes in her important new book, creativity requires holding both wonder and rigor in productive tension.

– Jessica Orkin, CEO, Sypartners

“Natalie is a dynamic speaker and design strategist. She provided great examples and insights on bolstering creativity to my colleagues at Fjord/Accenture, during our Diverse Voices in Design virtual talk. The event received great feedback. Additionally, many of my colleagues left inspired and were excited to apply The Creativity Leap principles to their toolkit.”
– Brandon Ball, Business Designer at Fjord

“Natalie’s keynote on Adaptation and Disruption could not be more timely for Best Buy as we continue to evolve and iterate in the ever changing macro business environment. Her presentation was very well attended – including our CEO Corie Barry. …Most importantly the feedback we have received post keynote has been tremendous on leveraging your message of adaption and creativity. I have no doubt we will see individuals think about their work with a much more customer obsessed mindset. What an awesome start to TechCon 2020!”
– Scott Vuong, Director of Spend Efficiency, Bestbuy

“At KES, our mission is to inspire leaders and organizations to imagine the future, instead of reacting to it. Natalie did a superb job at that, as she provoked our client, Twitter, but also brought tangible ways in which they can exercise their creativity and improvisational skills. Looking forward to working with her again!”
– Daphne Diamond, COO and Head of Curatorship, KES Brazil

“Recently, Steelcase and Corporate Interiors had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Nixon on a webinar where she discussed the key themes from the research she conducted for her upcoming book, The Creativity Leap. Not only was Dr. Nixon able to engage over 40 people for an hour but she was able to relate to the audience with great storytelling and images that made us all feel as if we too had the ability to be super-creatives. She’s obviously passionate about her research and what drives human behavior and inspired us all to deeply understand ourselves and how we can all thrive in times of uncertainty and change.”
– Keith Mcmillon, Regional Education Leader, Steelcase
