Find your way to good ideas, fast.
In my travels in the world of creativity and innovation I have met only a handful of people that I would say live creatively. These people see the world through the eyes of possibility and potential. They have the awareness, curiosity and courage to inspire others to dive into their creative potential. Inge is one of those people.

Unique talents
Inge's main expertise is “releasing” new thinking (sometimes she just tricks people). In addition, she can
distill piles of information into simple concepts – often expressed as visuals and metaphors – which she then uses to direct and inspire the team. Find more about Inge's unique approach on her blog.
Innovation
• Inge has written about innovation for the National Post and spoken at events hosted by
Conference Board of Canada and other business organizations. See recent posts on her blog.
• Inge has also trained at the Creative Problem Solving Institute – www.cpsiconference.com.
• In 2000, Inge interviewed William Gordon – a prolific inventor, the founder of Synectics and a
pioneer in creative thinking techniques. When asked what he considered to be the biggest barrier to
innovation in the corporate world, Mr. Gordon answered, “Fear.” Inge concurs.
Background
25+ years working with blue chip corporate clients, both as a creative consultant and former Creative Director of Hill and Knowlton - an international PR firm - has given Inge broad business experience. It includes business planning (strategy/tactics), brand development, marketing/communications, training and operations. This work combined with Inge's active role in the creative and comedy communities has prompted a unique skill set:
• Innovation (creative thinking), collaboration and communication - see blog posts.
• Facilitation, consulting and coaching
• Improv (she's a student but she performs!) - see blog posts.
• Project management
• Fluency in various computer programs
• Graphic design (Inge's first love)
THE INNOVATIVE SPIRIT
Creativity – the possibilities are endless
Energy – persistence pays off
Positivity – failure is an opportunity
Humour – nothing is that serious
Team – we build on each other’s ideas
