Creativity and Innovation

Today's Most Valued Personal and Business Skills


  • Creativity
  • Persuasion
  • Collaboration
  • Adoptability
  • Emotional Intelligence



In a recent study by LinkedIn Learning, Creativity ranked as number one in the most valued personal and business skill required for their employees. Employers are interested in who has the ideas, can think outside or eliminate the box and bring new solutions and products that solve real problems.  


My perspective - is to think bigger, think differently with purpose, and problem-solve with relevance and origination.   






My aPPROACH

Applying new tools and concepts like AI to unlock creativity and develop solutions is critical to addressing real opportunities that affect our world. Yet, as reported by the latest Torrance Fluency Scores, society has seen a decline in Creativity since the 1990s, resulting in significant gaps in Innovation and problem-solving. 


I see this gap as an opportunity, to imagine, communicate and express new ideas to solve real problems that are paramount and reflect my approach to life.

HIGH IMPACT- ONE CHILD AT A TIME


 

According to the UN, nearly half of the world’s student population was out of school due to the pandemic.  And while researchers have found that distance learning had wide-ranging benefits, it eludes those affected by the “homework gap” – meaning, those students lacking the connectivity or device access to complete schoolwork at home. This gap in access is particularly critical for the youngest learners, grades K-5 when their foundational learning and fundamental skills are just being established. 


Bridging this gap  – is the primary objective of this Program.

The Platform

The platform consisted of a content repository from content donated by TIME for Kids, Britannica, Girl Rising, Lonely Whale, NABU,  and NASA and connected to a Shopify eCommerce site, providing equal access to students for materials focused on STEM and environmental topics. Finally, the packets were printed on-demand and delivered to support blended learning at school districts and underserved students across the United States, Canada, India, and Haiti.


IMPACT

The Program reached over three hundred thousand students across the US, Canada, India, and Haiti, with over five hundred thousand books printed and delivered.
