The Creativity Cycle
KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Creativity isn’t decoration…it’s transformation.
In this high-energy keynote, Rowan reveals how today’s most innovative leaders are using creativity to drive resilience, connection, and change. In a world moving at lightning speed (hello, AI revolution), creativity has become the ultimate competitive edge…the difference between staying inspired or being left behind.
In this session, your team will be inspired to:
- Redefine creativity — break apart outdated mindsets and rediscover the creative confidence you were born with.
- Activate your imagination — learn 3 practical, proven tools from Rowan’s book The Creativity Cycle: 7 Simple Steps to Bring Ideas to Life to unlock creative flow every day.
- Reconnect through art and story — discover why connection to self and others fuels innovation, wellbeing, and courageous thinking.
Expect energy, laughter, and a few “holy shitballs, I never saw it that way” moments… as Rowan paints live, tells stories that hit the heart, and reminds your team what’s truly possible when creativity takes the lead.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
How Creativity Colours Mental Health
A raw, real, and radically hopeful exploration of how art heals the mind. From growing up queer in the conservative “Bible Belt,” to enduring conversion therapy and depression, Rowan’s story is one of turning pain into paint… proof that creativity is not just expression, but medicine. With vulnerability, humour, and heart, she shares how art and imagination rewire resilience and reconnect us to what matters most.
In this session, your team will be inspired to:
- Transform adversity into authenticity — hear how Rowan turned two decades of struggle into a story of creative freedom and purpose.
- Live in technicolour — learn how to tune into the seasons of your own life, reconnect with your body and mind, and design a more engaged, creative existence.
- Reimagine mental health through art — be inspired by the fusion of ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and creativity that brings healing to the modern mind.
This isn’t just a keynote… it’s an experience that reminds us all that creativity is courage, connection, and recovery rolled into one beautifully messy masterpiece.
