David believes the ability to be creative is within all of us. By learning more about yourself, you can become more creative in your own way by using your natural talents. If we want, we can all create some kind of art, but we can also use our creativity to help solve life’s everyday problems and to help us be more competitive and productive.
Competitiveness and productivity are what increases our standard of living, both personally and as a society so creativity has a practical side.
A management consultant, artist, researcher, speaker, writer and the originator of the “creative-type” concept, David speaks about how everyone can be creative in their own way using their natural strengths. He is the author of the recent book: Creative You: Using Your Personality Type To Thrive, published by Simon & Schuster in 2013.
To remain competitive, every person and organization needs to act more creatively.

Through his speaking he advises organizations in building collaborative teams within environments that promote innovation.
