About this listen

What if creativity isn’t a talent, but a birthright? In this energizing conversation, I sit down with Pia Leichter—creative partner, coach, and author of Welcome to the Creative Club—to talk about what really fuels creativity: self-trust, pausing, and the courage to follow your inner spark. We explore: ✨ How creativity lives in the smallest moments ✨ What gets in the way of creative expression (spoiler: it's not lack of talent) ✨ Why building self-trust expands your capacity to create ✨ The radical idea that all humans are creative If you’ve ever said, “I’m not creative,” this one’s for you. Let’s reclaim the joy, mess, and magic of making life your biggest art project. SHOW NOTES: Nancy C. Andreasen's Article MORE ABOUT PIA: Ready to press play? Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur. Her path has been anything but ordinary: a recovering nomad, she’s reported as a journalist in Sri Lanka, graduated summa cum laude from NYU, and worked as an award-winning creative director for some of the biggest brands in the world. Now, as the founder of Kollektiv Studio, she’s uniquely positioned to co-create wild visions and ventures. She recently published Welcome to the Creative Club, a book that challenges everything people thought they knew about creativity. Praised by Google's Global Head of Creative & Innovation as "life-changing" and by iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson as "a wild ride," this part-memoir, part-guide invites readers to make life their biggest art project and reclaim their creative power.

With expertise in school counseling, trauma-informed practices, and social-emotional intelligence (SEI), I help teams address the root causes of issues such as burnout, communication breakdowns, and resistance to change—rather than just treating surface-level symptoms. My engaging, evidence-based approach equips audiences with the skills to navigate discomfort, build trust and create healthier, more adaptive workplaces. I'm also a "Resolutionist" with Empowered Workplace Dispute Resolution, where I leverage my trauma-informed expertise to guide difficult conversations with compassion and clarity. I create safe spaces for resolving conflicts, turning challenges into growth opportunities. Whether working with frontline workers, organizational teams or educational leaders, I help people feel seen, heard and valued—transforming disputes into deeper understanding.
