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!

Hello there! I'm Peter Laughter, and 12 years ago, an experience transformed my understanding of leadership and set me on a path to fulfill my purpose. I realized that the best solutions come from those closest to the problem, not from the top down. This led me to embrace distributed decision-making, empowering individuals to help organizations become more agile and resilient in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

My purpose is to reveal the profound bonds that connect all humanity, making them visible and tangible in our daily lives. To thrive amid exponential change, organizations must shift from command-and-control to a network system of distributed authority. The traditional command-and-control orthodoxy is as harmful for corporate leaders as it is for employees, stifling innovation and engagement. Through my speaking and consulting, I guide organizations in building dynamic methods for fostering this new approach.

With over 25 years in the recruiting and staffing industry, I've founded three successful firms, served elite consultancies and banks, and pioneered the first SaaS platform for managing enterprise labor programs. My work has earned prestigious awards, including the Inc 500.

I'm a TEDx speaker on Radical Empathy and a three-time Moth Story Slam winner, with a story featured on The Moth Podcast. These experiences reflect my passion for storytelling and my ability to connect deeply with audiences.

When I'm not transforming the business world, you'll find me exploring trails on my bicycle, lost in a book, or sharing stories. And yes, I love a good laugh – after all, it’s in my name! Most of all, I love riding the Cyclone with my daughter Eddy.

Hello, I'm Julio Souffront, a UX designer at Qik, where my focus is on crafting designs that deeply resonate with users. My background in industrial design has paved the way for a broader mission in my career: to make meaningful contributions through thoughtful design. For me, it’s about more than just looks or functionality; it’s about creating experiences that touch people on a deeper, more human level.

My vision is both humble and ambitious: to make a dent on the world, regardless of its scale. In every project, I strive to create experiences that not only function well but also enrich lives. This approach is underpinned by a philosophy where empathy and respect are as vital as aesthetic appeal and practicality.

But my aspirations go beyond just professional achievements. It's about building a community where ideas are exchanged freely and growth is a shared journey. Every interaction and every piece of feedback presents a new opportunity to learn and evolve. I am dedicated to this path of discovery and innovation, constantly exploring new ways to blend functionality with emotional resonance, and marrying design with experience.

If you’re drawn to the idea of continuous learning and empathetic design, or if you simply want to exchange thoughts over coffee, I’m always open to conversation and collaborative exploration. Let’s connect and see where this journey takes us!
