One of the biggest obstacles companies have to innovation is fear of failure. But when failure is used as a learning experience, brilliant innovation is the result. Nobody knows about failure like inventors. Edison failed hundreds of times before changing the world with the creation of the lightbulb. In this popular keynote speech, Julie illustrates how some of the world’s biggest “failures” turned out to be the biggest successes, and how your management team can encourage employees at all levels to take calculated risks and foster innovation in your company. Julie inspires leaders to see each learning experience as an opportunity for greatness.

And one way to do that is with creativity. Studies have shown that people who have a sense of purpose live longer. Creativity gives you a sense of purpose that’s endless.
