Dr. Andre Walton's Bio:
From building concrete boats in Greece and teaching SCUBA to becoming a best-selling author and TEDx speaker, Andre developed a unique model of what makes us or prevents us from being creative, and why we can become prone to burnout!
Andre Walton is a renowned social psychologist and expert in creativity, innovation, and organizational transformation. With over two decades of groundbreaking research at the intersection of neuroscience, creativity, and entrepreneurship, Dr. Walton has become a sought-after voice unlocking human potential, overcoming burnout, and building environments that foster innovation and emotional resilience.
As the Visiting Professor of Creativity and Entrepreneurship at Newport Business School, Dr. Walton created executive development programs and delivered keynotes and workshops for globally recognized institutions including The Smithsonian, the Virgin Group, Lloyds Bank and the Welsh Government. His talks reframe stress as a catalyst for growth by rewiring neural pathways for creative resilience and increased emotional intelligence.
In his early 20s, Andre combined his science training with an entrepreneurial flare and spent 15 years taking three of his patented ideas to become global leaders in their field. He subsequently made two corporate acquisitions, established offices in Europe and the US, with distribution in 37 countries.
He spent a few years focused on helping SMEs through his export and innovation experience, and bought 10 acres of land in southern Portugal to built his dream home. This eventually became a 5-star boutique resort with a Michelin star nominated restaurant.
Eventually, grand kids called and he and his wife Robin returned to the US where Andre graduated from the University of Nevada Reno’s Social Psychology program with a PhD focused on Organizational Creativity. He has since published two books, one of which became an international best-seller, became a certified, accredited coach, and developed unique processes for mitigating burnout and anxiety with which he helps many others through coaching, speaking and workshops.
He also plays jazz flute and has a wonderful time with his wife and grand-kids!
We are
entering a
New Era.
The Era of Creativity!
As a species and as individuals, thinking creatively is an innate human drive. It is important in optimizing our thinking for better decision-making processes and in our lives in general.
Creativity is the source of our social evolution!
In the complex world it is easy to lose the ability to think creatively. Decision making becomes a series of knee-jerk reactions.
To think creatively brings many benefits, from increased emotional intelligence and better decision-making, to greater happiness
A triple whammy!
Why does creativity seem so mysterious—even magical—yet feel out of reach for so many?
In this powerful and thought-provoking book, Dr. André unpacks the truth: creativity isn’t just for artists, inventors, or “special people,” it’s a way of thinking—a mindset we can all access, nurture, and apply in our everyday lives.
It is the source of our social evolution!
Blending science, storytelling, and a deep dive into history, Andre takes us from the dawn of human evolution to modern-day challenges. He shows us that creativity has always been central to who we are.
