Ryan Guldemond

Ryan Guldemond empowers audiences to nurture their creative process and draw inspiration from the world around them as a springboard for creative ideas. In this presentation, he shares insights on his creative process – equal parts artistic ability, hard work and receptivity to new ideas. Ryan walks the audience through his process of constantly capturing seemingly modest pieces of inspiration, curating and refining them to a point where they can be acted upon. Ryan explains the process of tilting your perspective to turn a distraction into inspiration and draws on examples of some legendary artists who have done the same (including Beethoven). Audiences leave the presentation empowered to explore the creative process. This interactive presentation includes live musical elements.

Creativity: It’s a Numbers Game
One of the biggest frustrations faced by creative professionals is having a mental block. Writer’s block is perhaps the most well known, but they can be had by anyone in any industry who is undertaking the process of idea generation. Throughout his songwriting career, Ryan has often experienced the frustration of feeling short of ideas. In this presentation he shows audiences how to implement a system that will build and organize a creative archive. It will help obliterate blocks in idea generation by shifting mindsets to that of perpetual creative scavenging, documentation, and filing. Ryan will help audiences marry right and left brain creative activity to help increase the consistency of seeing an idea through, form the abstract conception to the refined result. No matter what size your organization, this presentation will help your team unlock its creative potential and accelerate innovation. With a more productive flow of ideas, the likelier, and sooner you’ll find your Magnus opus.
