Life is too short to not express the innate creativity inside of you. Host Melissa Dinwiddie features individuals and organizations who are approaching life and work creatively, playfully, and innovatively — making a difference, or living life "in full color”— in other words, living the principles of her book The Creative Sandbox Way™. Along the way, and in between interview episodes, Melissa shares practical tips on creativity, productivity, innovation, and leadership.
Whether you’re a corporate leader looking to boost innovation and foster a culture of creativity at work; or an individual looking to get past fear, self-doubt, resistance, and distractions, so you can finally make time for the art / music / writing / craft you’ve been longing to do, if you’re ready to feel more ease and enjoyment in life and work, walk the Creative Sandbox Way™ with Melissa.
Melissa Dinwiddie is Chief Instigator and Lead Facilitator of Creative Sandbox Solutions, a creative consultancy that helps organizations future-proof their people and their plans through the strategic use of play.
