I am the creator of Thinking Like a Child for Professionals, an interactive keynote and workshop experience that has been delivered to organizations including Philips, Shell, Toyota, IBM, Microsoft, Heathrow Airport, Rabobank, Back Market and 300+ others across the globe. Thinking Like a Child for Professionals helps organizations unlock fresh thinking, innovative solutions and new energy around strategy, leadership, innovation, collaboration and change. It is a highly interactive experience that challenges assumptions, breaks patterns of what I often call Terminal Seriousness, and gives participants practical tools they can immediately apply to real-world business challenges. Clients often describe the experience as a rare combination of meaningful content, practical takeaways and genuine fun, resulting in a keynote people continue talking about long after the event itself. The sessions combine inspiration, hands-on experimentation and a framework we call Curious Little Experiments, helping people turn insights into action long after the event itself. The Foundation Behind Thinking Like a Child for Professionals | 20,000+ Children • 300+ Organizations • 6+ Countries The Thinking Like a Child for Professionals experience is rooted in the work of ConsultingKids, the organization I founded more than a decade ago to help organizations solve complex challenges by involving children aged 9-12. Since then, we have worked with more than 300 organizations across 6+ countries and engaged over 20,000 children on topics ranging from strategy and innovation to leadership, collaboration, culture, governance and organizational transformation. What started as an innovative consulting approach revealed something unexpected: children consistently use a set of thinking patterns and behaviors that help unlock fresh ideas, challenge assumptions and create movement where adults often get stuck. These discoveries became the foundation of Thinking Like a Child for Professionals and are also captured in my book that translates to 'Little Consultants', which translates these insights into practical tools that leaders and teams can immediately apply within their own organizations.

Cassandra Bankson is a beauty industry expert, creator economy entrepreneur, and one of the most trusted voices in skincare: a medical esthetician who built an audience of more than five million by telling the truth. At seventeen, she was a working model hiding severe cystic acne under layers of makeup. Then she did the unthinkable: she wiped it all off on camera. The video went viral, and a global platform was born. What started as one honest video became a business. Cassandra's content now boasts over 500 million views, reaching a science-hungry audience every day, and she's turned that trust into real commerce, from live selling to six-figure sales days. She's become a case study in how creators build credible influence at scale, and how brands actually earn it. Today she speaks at the intersection of the three forces reshaping her industry: the science of beauty, the business of the creator economy, and the technology, including AI, that is changing both. She's shared stages from SXSW and VidCon to the Forbes 30/50 Summit in Abu Dhabi and the New York Stock Exchange, translating complex science and fast-moving tech into something any audience can act on. Wherever she speaks, the throughline is the same: real expertise, radical honesty, and trust that captivates.
