The Edge of Creativity
Turning Pressure Into Fresh Energy and Lasting Impact
Creativity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lifeline for leaders under pressure. When stress mounts, burnout follows, momentum stalls, and impact slips away. Yet research tells a different story: according to Forbes, over 70% of companies rank creative thinking as one of the most in-demand skills for the future of work. And in a global study shared by Harvard Business Review, 1,500 CEOs named creativity the #1 skill for navigating complexity and leading through change.
Kassi Kincaid is on a mission to reframe creativity—not as a soft skill, but as a reset. As the founder of a global children’s literacy initiative, she experienced firsthand how one creative spark, nurtured with intention, could grow into a worldwide movement that impacted thousands of children and educators across continents.
In this energizing keynote, Kassi helps leaders and teams reconnect with their creative edge—not as an abstract idea, but as a practical tool to beat burnout, spark fresh energy, and lead with confidence. Through stories, strategies, and her signature EDGE Framework, she shows how creativity can restore resilience, fuel momentum, and create lasting impact—no matter your role or industry.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Clarity Under Pressure — A grounded sense of direction, even in complex roles or challenging seasons.
🔹 Sustainable Progress — Practical tools to move forward with real momentum—without burnout or overthinking.
🔹 Creative Confidence — A renewed belief in their own potential and what’s possible when they lead with it.
Creativity is no longer optional—it’s essential. Together, let’s turn fresh thinking into bold progress.
