What if our obsession with getting faster answers is actually costing us our best ideas? In this episode of Shine a Light, Christine Miles sits down with Leslie Grandy, author of Creative Velocity: Propelling Breakthrough Ideas in the Age of Generative AI, for a thought-provoking conversation about creativity, innovation, and the role AI should—and shouldn't—play in our thinking. Leslie challenges the idea that creativity belongs only to naturally "creative" people and shares practical ways to build the creative muscle, challenge the status quo, and use AI to expand our thinking rather than replace it.
Together, Christine and Leslie explore:
- Why exploration matters more than speed when solving problems—and what we lose when we rush to an answer.
- How to use AI as a creative partner, including frameworks like SCAMPER to push beyond predictable answers and explore new possibilities.
- Why we shouldn't outsource our creativity to AI, and how human context, judgment, values, and imagination remain essential.
- How organizations can use generative AI not just for efficiency, but for ideation, imagination, and innovation—while helping their people feel elevated rather than threatened by the technology.
If you've ever felt like you're "not creative," or wondered how to keep your human ingenuity alive in an increasingly AI-driven world, this conversation offers a powerful reframe: creativity isn't something to outsource—it's a muscle worth strengthening.
