To celebrate the World Creativity & Innovation Week, we at Young Indians (Yi) are having a speaker session with some of the best speakers on a wide range of topics under the umbrella of Growth Mindset through Innovation.

The session will have Dr Stefano Brusoni talking about Neuroscience – Supporting Innovation in People, Teams & Organizations.

Holding a PhD in Science and Technology Policy Studies from the University of Sussex, his research focuses on the process through which firms introduce radical innovations -encompassing technological and organizational changes- and learn about new technologies and scientific disciplines.

We also have Dr Jim Freedman talking about Creativity and the Creative Mindset.
“Ask fifty people to describe Friedman and you’ll get fifty different answers … all true. He is a paradox. Student-Teacher. Quiet-Demanding. But all will agree on his passion and dedication to sharing the magic of creativity and innovation in everything he does.”

Jim Friedman is a Cincinnati native and resident Wordsmith/Dreambuilder who may be best known for creating television shows and movies. He is a serial creative entrepreneur. In addition to his broadcasting ventures, he has created national marketing campaigns; been granted multiple patents; written books; written, recorded and performed music; and danced the hokey pokey at age three on the Uncle Al Show.

Since 2008 he has taught Creativity and Entrepreneurship at Miami University and is a frequent speaker on topics of creativity and personal branding. Friedman’s consulting and coaching work centers on connecting creative/innovative thinking to entrepreneurship for companies and individuals across the country.

Friedman grew up in Wyoming, Ohio (Go Cowboys). He graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a B.S. in Design (Go Bearcats). He holds a doctorate in communication (Ph.D.) which he earned from the Union Institute and a doctorate in Creativity (Cr.D.) which he made up himself. He has won 65 Emmy Awards, has been inducted into three Halls of Fame and is recognized for his creativity and effectiveness in the classroom.

Besides wordsmithing, Friedman enjoys asking questions, finding second right answers, silencing his voice of judgment, taking risks and failing often and well.
