Are you like many of the visionary top leaders we speak with who have made business innovation a top priority in the constantly changing world? If so, you know how important it is to keep finding new ways to think more expansively, creatively, and collaboratively as a C-Suite team.
In this week’s episode, we speak with Cliff Goldmacher, a GRAMMY-recognized, #1 hit songwriter, keynote speaker, and author. We discuss how songwriting can help business leaders increase creativity for business innovation.
