Unlock Your Inner Creative: In Conversation with Seth Godin

Whether you identify as “creative” or not, you can learn how to tap into and boost your inherent creativity and harness it to find your voice, go beyond where you are, and do work that matters.

Join Business and Arts NL as we talk with internationally acclaimed author, entrepreneur and teacher, Seth Godin (via satellite from New York) and a panel of creative Newfoundlanders from across sectors as we explore how creativity and imagination are the renewable resources we can flex into the future.

Seth Godin is an Author, Entrepreneur and Most of All - A Teacher.

Seth Godin is the author of 20 bestsellers that have been read all around the world. His work has been translated into more than 35 languages.

He is also the founder of the altMBA and The Akimbo Workshops—online seminars that have transformed the lives of thousands of people. He writes about the ways ideas spread, marketing, quitting, starting, leadership and most of all ‘making change happen.’ You might be familiar with some of his books: Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, and Purple Cow. His book, This Is Marketing, was an instant bestseller around the world. His latest, The Practice, was published at the end of 2020 and is already a smash hit. Though renowned for his writing and speaking, Seth also founded two companies, Squidoo and Yoyodyne (acquired by Yahoo!).

His business blog (you can find this by typing “Seth” into Google ) is in the Top 25 most widely read blogs, with over one million subscribers. He is living proof of walking the talk when it comes to ‘committing’ to The Practice – posting over 7,500 blogs since 1995.

His podcast rests in the top 1% of all podcasts worldwide.

In 2018, he was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame.

More than 20,000 people have completed his influential Akimbo and altMBA workshops, and continue to seek out his invaluable guidance.
