Most high-achieving professionals have quietly accepted a story: creativity belongs to artists, not to leaders, and not to executives. Not to them. Creative Director Pia Mailhot-Leichter dismantles that story completely, and in its place offers a mindset change, something far more useful: a way to recognize, trust, and activate the creative superpower you've been carrying without knowing it.

The answer to "how to be creative?" is as straight forward as "how to be human?" Relax, you already are.

Most people think creativity is a talent you’re either born with or not. In this What Do You Know To Be True? conversation, Pia Mailhot-Leichter challenges that belief and reframes creativity as a mindset, a form of personal agency, and a core part of personal development.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m not creative,” this conversation invites you to look closer. Pia believes creativity is not about art or output. It’s about…
➡️ how you think
➡️ how you choose who you are
➡️ how to show up in the world
➡️ what stories you believe about yourself

At its core, this conversation is about identity. Who you believe yourself to be. How much agency you think you have. And how reclaiming creativity can shift your mindset from reacting to life to actively shaping it.

If you are looking to discover your superpower, unlock your potential, and create your impact, this conversation is for you!

Pia shares why creativity is not always comfortable or polished, why risk and trust matter, and how giving yourself what she calls a “permission slip to suck” can unlock a deeper sense of freedom and momentum.

This conversation is for anyone exploring personal development, searching for purpose, or wanting to reconnect with their ability to choose, create, and become who they are meant to be.

Pia is the founder of Kollektiv Studio where she is a creative partner to clients. She is also the author of the best-selling “Welcome to the Creative Club.”

Pia has been in creative spaces her whole life, but it was a breakthrough moment, not a breakdown moment, where she realized creativity is not just a thing she did…but it was a choice and a way of life.

That is when she chose to change the world by changing the world in her.

In this episode, Pia answers the following questions:
➡️What is the true meaning of creativity?
➡️ How do I know if I’m creative?
➡️What does it take to be creative?
➡️What skills improve my creativity?
