Our ninth episode of the Creative Flow: Thinkers and Change Agents Podcast Series features Susan Newhouse, Principal, Susan Newhouse & Associates, LLC, a strategic innovation consultant, expert facilitator trained in LEGO\\xae SERIOUS PLAY\\xae, and Executive coach based in Chicago, IL, USA.

As a young person, Susan wished she was a creative person and throughout her early work life and education she was successful but had trouble finding her passion. A guidance counselor helped her realize she could work in a creative field and at the time of this podcast she has been living in the world of creativity for over 20 years.

Known for impersonations, she studied intensive long form improv and has worked with large Fortune 500 companies at some of the preeminent organizations devoted to innovation. She discusses her experience at the Creative Problem Solving Institute (CPSI) where she started as a student and has been teaching since 2008 as one of the highlights of her creative experience. At CPSI she found her new family in creativity and enjoyed the greatest satisfaction helping people find their own creativity and flashes of inspiration.

Susan discusses her ideas to democratize creativity for all and her belief that each person needs to find their own definition of creativity and learn what inspires them to be more creative. Her creative flow involves humor and laughter and here is a lot of this in this episode including an impersonation of Pee Wee Herman. Don\'t miss this episode.
