Biography
I’m a long-time book author and business journalist specializing in innovation and creativity. I also do lectures and workshops on innovation and creativity in business and personal lives (in recent months I spoke at Microsoft in Seattle, TEDx in Portland, and conferences in New York, Barcelona, Rome, and Venice.)
My last book, GLIMMER (The Penguin Press; 2009), explored the power of design (and design thinking) to transform the way we live. I’m currently researching and writing a new book, A MORE BEAUTIFUL QUESTION (Bloomsbury), which looks at the fascinating art and science of asking great questions—and how these questions can spark innovation and change. Over the years, I’ve studied and reported on hundreds of top creative people—in business, the arts, science and education, and in my speeches I share the secrets of these “Master Questioners” for helping all of us become more creative, original and innovative.
