These employees are so laser-focused on the tech that they often doubt their creativity.

Hi! I’m Melissa.
I used to believe I wasn’t creative. Yet, every "impossible" I've pursued has become a reality.
At 16, I took my first dance class, dreaming of Juilliard. Three years later, I got in. In my late 20s, I picked up calligraphy and envisioned an art career. A year later, I landed my first client and thrived as a calligrapher / artist (in Silicon Valley, no less!) for 15 years. In my late 30s, I dreamed of singing jazz. A year later, I was performing across the SF Bay Area.
From performing for 6,000 people at Arco Arena to writing an acclaimed book on creativity, my journey has been about transforming impossibilities into realities. I’ve toured as a calligraphy teacher and singer-songwriter and led creativity retreats globally.
What truly fulfills me is helping others create their impossibles, especially in creativity and innovation. I've collaborated with top teams at companies like Facebook, Google, Uber, and Salesforce. My unique background has shaped a system that unlocks innate creativity, even in the most analytical minds.
Using my accessible framework, I assist stressed-out leaders under tight deadlines to foster a culture where breakthrough innovations are the norm. This transformation boosts job satisfaction and enhances team communication and collaboration.
