Nir Bashan spent a lot of time on skid row.

He wasn’t there for the shadow economy of drugs and prostitution and discounts on designer knock offs. Instead, he found his formative years in a warehouse in the middle of skid row in downtown Los Angeles. For what he found in this warehouse changed his life forever.

This warehouse bristled with an energy unlike any he has ever experienced. It was a rehearsal space for musicians from all over the world. Where else could a kid jam with the likes of Fishbone and Rob Zombie? All of which Nir did his best to keep up with. Initially, Nir thought it was the music that made the place so electric. He would spend the rest of his life learning otherwise. It was not the music or art that made the place irresistible. It was the creativity. This experience energized Nir and inspired him to devote the rest of his life to spreading creativity to the four corners of the globe.

Today, Nir is a top business speaker leading innovation for high performing leaders and individuals around the globe. As founder and CEO of The Creator Mindset® LLC, where he helps organizations and leaders foster a culture of innovation with his groundbreaking creativity keynote speeches that supercharge business models to improve profitability, increase sales, and boost customer service. He speaks at conferences and events on the creative potential in every single human being on earth. He is represented by 6 speaking bureaus and is consistently ranked as a top innovation keynote speaker. As an invited guest, he regularly speaks to some of the most beloved brands on earth such as Rolex and Porsche.

Happy clients include Microsoft, AT&T, NFL Network, jetBlue, Ingram Micro, Thermo Fisher Scientific, The National Association of Realtors, Suzuki, Lincoln Financial Group, The Association of Payment Professionals, Ace Hardware, Consilio, Texas and Georgia TSA, The Mortgage Collaborative, The Ohio Municipal League, The International Association of Plastics Distributors, EA Sports, HBCE, Home Stagers and ReDesign Alliance Association, Activision, B.

Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.

What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we’re saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together.

Stories are another option for bringing sensitive topics to the surface, which I recently started to explore through my self-development practice, as well as during numerous Around the world in (less than) 80 days workshops throughout the past years!
