Creativity is not rare. It's just overlooked.
The truth is, most people don't think of themselves as creative. And most organizations don't know how to find the Creative Genius already sitting on their team.
That's the problem Heather Hodges built her career solving. Not a lack of ideas, a lack of recognition.
Everyone is creative, and we need everyone's creativity.
Heather Hodges is an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, and live artist. She blends story, science, and speed-painting into dynamic keynote presentations audiences always remember.
Innovation isn’t accident. It’s creative people, in a creative culture, using a creative process.
Creative People + Creative Culture + Creative Process = INNOVATION
And nobody demonstrates it quite like she does.

Unstoppable Innovation Through
Human CreativityHi, I’m Heather!
I'm an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, and live artist for events, conferences, and organizations.
I blend story, science, and speed-painting into presentations you won't forget. My work centers on one core belief: everyone is creative, and we need everyone's creativity. I help organizations turn untapped talent into unstoppable innovation through the science of creativity, backed by my doctoral research and the product of it, The Hodges 12 Types of Creative Genius®.
On stage, I speak and paint live portraits of overlooked, dismissed, or challenge-tested figures who changed the world in their own way. It's not just a performance. It's the real message, made visible.
Heather is one of the most impactful keynote speakers I have ever heard in my 30+ year career.
