In this episode of The Brad Hook Podcast, I speak with Dr. Amy Climer — creativity expert, author of Deliberate Creative Teams, and founder of Climer Consulting. Amy helps teams unlock their creative potential so they can innovate with intention. We explore what creativity really is (hint: it’s not about drawing), why it matters for every team, and how leaders can set the conditions for innovation to thrive. Amy breaks down the three essential elements of creative teams — shared purpose 💡, strong dynamics 🤝, and a repeatable process 🔄 — and shares practical tools for building trust, fostering psychological safety, and moving from idea to execution. Whether you’re leading a team or exploring your own creativity, this episode is full of actionable insight. Plus, we discuss how nature inspires creativity, how to be okay with failure, and how a deck of cards she designed ended up in 58 countries 🌍.
