What clients say about Nick Skillicorn

"We invited Nick Skillicorn to be a keynote speaker on our PhD Day event to give a talk about the science behind creativity. We came across a few TED-talks from him about this topic, which fitted exactly into our theme “When Creativity meets Science”. Luckily for us, he was enthusiastic about our day and agreed to give a talk on our day! The talk itself was very informative and exactly what we were looking for. Among other topics, Nick touched upon different insights into how creativity is affected over a human lifetime and how creativity works in the brain. This gave us actually new insights about our own creative mindset or better said our threshold to become more creative! Nick is a very good presenter, and his talk was very well prepared. This makes listening to him a pleasure. He is easily accessible and a quick responder to our emails about any questions we had. This made working with him a pleasant experience. So, if you are searching for an interesting, good speaker for your event, I would definitely recommend Nick Skillicorn for your event!" University of Utrecht, Netherlands
"The most enlightening part was learning why the brain behaves how it does. That behaviours and responses which seem counter-productive or counter-intuitive, actually have their roots in our evolution as a species. Would be great to learn more hacks and workarounds..."The Brain Whisperer"!" HAVAS
"Nick’s presentation was the perfect balance of the science behind creativity and practical ways to become more creative every day. It was informative, empowering and really resonated with our Creative Community." Ketchum
o “The talk with Nick gave to the audience and to ourselves an insightful view of the scientific principles of creative mind. Nick was a very engaging and enthusiastic speaker, who’ve enlightened the audience with amazing knowledge as well as practical techniques to exercise creative motions and ideas. Would love having another speaking engagement with Nick in the future!” Funzing
