Creativity is an unlimited resource in your life. Thus, the motivation of the people you surround yourself, spend time with, and invest in is the wellspring of your own personal creativity. When you help them tap into their motivation, it pays back in spades for your own.    The greatest leaders are unstoppable because they tap into the creativity of the people they surround themselves with and serve with humility. My coaching educates leaders in fostering environments that maximize creativity and innovation.    “The Momentum Framework” is a collection of contextual models and language tools that form a system that maximizes the creativity of the people we lead. The result is MOMENTUM through innovation.   My journey in innovating began with software products at the ripe old age of 11, programming on my 8-Bit Commodore Vic-20 in the 1980s, and never stopped. I studied aviation electronics working on F-14 Tomcats in the Navy, molecular genetics at the University of Rochester, and earned an MBA from the Simon School of Business in 2006. However, most of my experience has come from two and a half decades of working in the trenches with amazing teams building innovative software products that move, touch and inspire the world. ITX is a passionate group of 250+ inspired technologists and artists who produce magic daily for our clients. We are pioneering how software products are built and creating best practices that are forging the future of how technology interfaces with people. Through ITX and other ventures, I have engineered over a dozen companies’ divestitures, acquisition, and mergers. Through CEO and leadership roundtables worldwide and a professorship at the University of Rochester, I have educated thousands of business leaders on innovation, culture, empathy, and “The Momentum Framework.”    Mentioned in the show:   Cognitive Empathy: Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Capacity for Influence (C/I)   Daniel Goleman – Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships   Daniel Kahneman – Thinking, Fast and Slow   Travis Bradberry – Emotional Intelligence 2.0 Affective Empathy: Compassion: Capacity for Caring (C/C)   Brene Brown – The Gifts of Imperfection   John M.
