Creative Confidence Podcast

Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, shares how to help your company change mindsets and become more experimental, lean, and accountable.

Each time you engage with the process, you end up feeling more capable. As founder of IDEO and the Stanford d.school, David Kelley has been practicing design thinking for nearly 30 years. He’s passionate about using design to help unlock creative confidence in everyone from students to business executives. As instructor of our online class Hello Design Thinking, David brings his years of learning and expertise to this design thinking introduction.
