About

The Creativity Seminar teaches individuals, teams and companies new ways to develop ideas and solve problems.

It offers techniques and tools that make the creative process easier and more productive. Creativity is a skill — which can be developed, practiced and improved.

Through these interactive presentations, Sean Kelly examines famous ideas and inventions by others, and shares examples from 40 years of his own creative work to show how to generate breakthrough solutions to challenging assignments.

Corporations, media companies, universities and arts organizations have benefited from these inspiring lectures and workshops that stimulate the imagination and spark innovation.
