White Space Creativity - Frontend Conference CH 2014Denise Jacobs
In visual arts and graphic design, white space is fundamental to allowing a creation to exist, by creating delineation and focus. Similarly, in our lives, creativity often sprouts from the "white space" of time: the moments in our increasingly busy schedules between activities and thoughts that allow the subconscious to better absorb and connect information. Clearly, in order to be more creative, we need to open up this "in-between" space in our lives, but once we've done so, how can we best capitalize upon the brain's natural creative capacities? In this talk, we'll explore several counter-intuitive and potentially subversive methods for leveraging this "white space" to foment innovative thinking creative productivity.
As tech professionals, what we need is a way to work better so that we can create more, right? Through exploring various concepts and approaches, including the neuroscience of creativity, productivity techniques, and emerging practices that spur innovation, we'll discover not only the ways in which our brains work best, but also what’s behind the times when we feel on fire with creativity and when we don't. We’ll translate this information into processes and techniques for dramatically enhanced creative productivity. Beware: this session challenges the standard norms around concentration, focus, productivity, and may change how you work…for the better.

Many people either don't think they are creative or don't know exactly how they are creative. However, everyone is creative in some way. If you've neglected your creative spark for a while, know that it's not absent, that it merely needs reviving. We'll look at some of the ways your creativity may have been stifled and explore several methods to awakening the slumbering giant of creativity within.
Co-Create: Creating Better Together - DevCamp Brazil 2018Denise Jacobs
Despite the prevalent mythology of the lone creative genius, many of the most innovative contributions spring from the creative chemistry of a group and the blending of everyone’s ideas and concepts. How can we best leverage this collective wisdom to generate creative synergy and co-create? Let’s look at the process of recognizing and removing our personal creative blocks, connecting and communicating with others, combining ideas using play, and constructing a collaborative environment to discover effective methods for tapping into a group’s creative brilliance. Through these steps, you’ll learn to capitalize on the super-linearity of creativity to embrace and leverage diversity to create better together.
The Creativity (R)Evolution - Future of Web Design NYC 2014Denise Jacobs
There's a movement brewing built upon leveraging the transformative power of creativity to help us work and create better so that we can produce work infused with meaning. Discover how by instilling tiny habits to cultivate your creative spark, and finally, fomenting creative collaboration based on the tenets of improv and open spaces, you can take the spark of Creativity (R)Evolution and use it as the impetus to push you, your teams, and your companies to create Betterness.
In visual arts and graphic design, white space is fundamental to allowing a creation to exist, by creating delineation and focus. Similarly, in our lives, creativity often sprouts from the "white space" of time: the moments in our increasingly busy schedules between activities and thoughts that allow the subconscious to better absorb and connect information. Clearly, in order to be more creative, we need to open up this "in-between" space in our lives, but once we've done so, how can we best capitalize upon the brain's natural creative capacities? In this talk, we'll explore several counter-intuitive and potentially subversive methods for leveraging this "white space" to foment innovative thinking creative productivity.

While some conferences support a proactive diversity policy, the common lament industry-wide is the pool of candidates just isn't large enough to draw from. It's time for women and people of color to Rawk The Web: to become more visible, promote our achievements, and make ourselves known as the rockstars we truly are.
Looming deadlines, demanding clients, boring projects, and even feelings of fatigue that may signal the beginnings of burnout any of these everyday afflictions can making it tough to dredge up the energy to be psyched about your work and be amazing at what you do. These feelings can disappear if we shift our perspective to gamify work. Let's look at how we can bring gamification theories and practices to our work to spur the process of enhancing productivity and innovation to produce easily, better, more, and get the epic win.

How to Have Difficult Conversations With Confidence - MTP Digital 2020Denise Jacobs
Sometimes it’s difficult to have the self-assurance needed to tackle having some of the difficult conversations that are part and parcel of your work – particularly with the high level of Impostor syndrome that many product managers experience.
It turns out that silencing the inner critic is part of the foundation for cultivating the courage needed to have difficult conversations with more confidence. As a bonus, getting rid of the mean inner voice additionally enhances creative problem-solving, innovative thinking, and collaboration skills – three items that Product Managers have to use everyday.
In this session, we’ll first identify the ways in which the inner critic weakens our nerve to tackle head-on the conversations that we need to have. Then, we’ll explore powerful mental reframes and tools for reducing self-doubt, dealing with impostor syndrome, and recognizing cognitive distortions. Finally, we’ll address some of the most common difficult conversations such as giving and receiving feedback, getting teams in alignment with each other, dealing with execs, and saying no, and tools to facilitate each.
There are certain conversations that will always provoke anxiety. However, the tools and practices shared in this session will put you on the path to honing interpersonal skills, developing resilience, and increased self-awareness.

The Torchbearer's Opportunity – Miles Camp 2018Denise Jacobs
A torchbearer is a person who leads or inspires others in working toward a valued goal. Sadly, too many companies fall prey to leadership that is self-serving, tone-deaf to their talent pool, and only concerned with growing wealth of the company at the expense of company morale. These leaders don’t realize this approach to leadership makes their companies less adaptable, and thus less competitive, in the marketplace.
To solve today’s problems and those of the future, we need an evolved version of leadership. We need more people to be torchbearers: modern leaders that light the way to individuals doing their highest and best work, teams creating better together, and companies that contribute to the bottom line while also contributing to the greater good.
Fortunately, today’s leaders can embrace, ignite, and model modern leadership through leveraging the power of creativity – and the steps are more accessible than you think. In this talk, we’ll explore how leaders can identify and remove internal mental blocks, how to access personal power through finding and staying in Flow more consistently, and how to amp up communication skills to become a connected and trusted role model who sparks a wave of change that transforms workplaces for the better.
