Innovation thrives when ideas are nurtured, not dismissed. Drawing inspiration from improv comedy, this keynote explores how the principle of "Yes, and!" can revolutionize leadership and collaboration within organizations. Charles Sims demonstrates how embracing every idea—good or bad—as a building block fosters creativity, ensures all voices are heard, and drives consensus in diverse teams. Through real-world examples and interactive elements, attendees will learn practical strategies to lead innovative discussions that harness collective intelligence, break down silos, and create buy-in across the room. Perfect for leaders, managers, and innovators seeking to unlock their organization’s full creative potential.
