Topics: Creativity, Innovation, Ideation

One of the biggest myths holding teams back is the belief that creativity is a rare, innate gift—that some people are creative, and others simply aren’t.

That mindset is rooted in outdated thinking about what creativity is, where it comes from, and who gets to use it.

The reality? Creativity is a skill—just like budgeting, invoicing, or even knowing how to finesse the tricky office supply closet lock. It can be taught, developed, and strengthened.

With the right tools and mindset, any team can learn to generate better ideas, solve problems more creatively, and build a culture where innovation thrives naturally.

Topics: Mental Health, Kindness, Empathy

The first time Kyle Scheele considered ending his life, he was just a second grader—alone, friendless, and convinced the world would be better without him.

Then a new kid arrived, and everything changed. In that moment, Kyle discovered a powerful truth: it only takes one person to make you feel like you matter.

Over the years, Kyle’s understanding deepened:

One person can lift you up—or tear you down.
One person can brighten your day—or ruin it.
One person can remind you that you belong—or make you feel invisible.

And perhaps most important of all:
Most of the things that truly matter in life—the things that last—are done by just one person.

In this heartfelt and hopeful keynote, Kyle shares:

• His own journey with mental health, and the people who helped him along the way

• A reminder that no one is alone in their struggles—and no one is defined by them

• A powerful call to action: that every person has the ability to impact others in meaningful, lasting ways

• Simple, actionable ways to spread kindness, foster empathy, and be that “one person” for someone else

Kyle’s message is a timely reminder of the quiet power we all carry—the power to make a difference, one life at a time.

Topics: Innovation, Limited Resources, Working Within Constraints

We’ve all said it:
“If only I had more time… more budget… more support… then I could do my best work.”

It’s easy to believe that creativity thrives on abundance—that if we just had better tools, more buy-in, or the perfect team, our best ideas would finally emerge.

But the truth is, real creativity doesn’t come from unlimited resources.
It comes from constraints.

Innovation happens in the space between what you have and what you wish you had. If you had everything, there’d be no need to be creative in the first place.

True creativity is what helped NASA engineers save the Apollo 13 crew with duct tape and quick thinking. It’s what sparked innovation when the world was forced to work remotely. And it’s exactly what can happen in your organization—once you stop seeing constraints as roadblocks and start seeing them as launchpads.

In this keynote, Kyle will:

• Demonstrate why constraints are essential to breakthrough thinking

• Unpack the difference between helpful and harmful limitations

• Teach you how to reframe your team’s challenges into creative opportunities

• Share practical tools and exercises to unlock innovation—even when resources are tight

This talk is a powerful reminder: your best work isn’t waiting for perfect conditions—it’s waiting for a new perspective.
