Dr. Caroline Brookfield is an author, speaker, and entrepreneur. Caroline helps "non-creatives" connect with a creative mindset to build confidence in change, buffer against burnout, and leverage individual originality for adaptability and problem-solving, even when facing the most perplexing challenges.

We start today’s conversation with a definition of creativity. Caroline distinguishes between Big C, small c, and mini-c creativity. We ask questions such as Can AI be creative?, and Is scientific investigation a creative act? Caroline then delves into her DANCE model - the five habits that will allow anyone to harness their creative energy.
