05. Debunking The Myths Around Who's Creative And Who's Not

Ask 12 Italian grandmothers for their special tomato sauce recipe, and you will get thirteen different answers. They will all use tomatoes, olive oil, basil… but the quantities will vary, as will the one special ingredient everyone has. A business is the same: it is the combination of service, values, and culture that makes each one unique. Rebecca Brizi brings management consulting services to small businesses, examining each of her clients to discover what their special, unique recipe is, and to build a plan for all those separate ingredients to function well together, so the business owners can focus on what they do best: their craft. 

Rebecca built her career managing the many moving ingredients of a software company, joining at the initial startup phase and moving the company through a major product change, to establishing a new office and subsidiary company in the United States. This office was generating more than 45% of the company’s business growth (by volume and value) within 3 years.

Jessica sits down with Rebecca to talk about the creative side of management consulting, how creativity can be seen in multiple professions (not just the Arts), and some fantastic ways to approach learning and development in our creative careers.
