Dr. Tanya Knudsen
I’m a creative leadership coach, consultant, educator, and podcaster invested in accelerating individual and organizational transformation through the power of creativity to lead for innovation. My work focuses on developing creativity as a foundational leadership skill. In today’s fast-changing world, the ability to think differently, navigate ambiguity, and solve problems with originality is not a luxury. It's a necessity.
Creativity drives innovation, and innovation drives results. Companies who deliberately invest in creativity literally shift performance. I have experienced this transformation firsthand and while working with people in all echelons of life. Aligning an organizational culture with creative problem-solving tools and leadership strategies is a game changer for tolerance, efficiency and innovation.
Awareness, intention, transformation, and doing work that matters is what matters. The Innovative Mind at Work podcast shares stories and strategies from business leaders engaging creative thinking and exploring how innovation shows up in real workplaces and real lives.
Good Work is powerfully meaningful. Coaching new leaders and students in Madagascar is life-changing for us all, whether in person or remotely. Learning to think creatively is a setup for life long learning. 21st century skills are critical for everyone, especially for those in greatest need.
Creative leadership is human-centered process for an innovative mindset. imagination, and impact.

Our visioning session with Dr. Knudsen was incredibly helpful in clarifying our ideas and shaping them into a strong, well-structured proposal. She and Schmitz provided practical tools for brainstorming, research references, and visual aids that helped us express the complexity of our work. They listened closely, worked efficiently under time pressure, and quickly aligned with our needs and vision.

FourSight brought strength and insight to your team and how we work together. Through the process we learned language that has ongoing value at work. The principles of the creative process are proving to be useful.
