Hi, I’m Craig Calder

I help leaders and teams improve their performance by teaching them the problem-solving skills and mindsets that boost innovation, productivity, and collaboration.

So far, I’ve worked as an accountant, corporate executive, partner in a global management consulting firm, and now as an entrepreneur and commercial artist.

I’ve seen how leaders and businesses operate around the world having lived and worked in Australia, Europe and North America. I’ve led teams of consultants, office workers, property development professionals and multidisciplinary project teams. I’ve created custom abstract artworks for clients to bring out the essence of their relationships and embody the spirit of their enterprises.

What I’ve learned is the single most important thing we can do to make a difference to how we feel about the work we do and getting the best results from our efforts is to learn how to get better at solving problems so we can do more work that matters.

Businesses exist to solve problems at scale. They need to constantly evolve to survive, and that means finding and solving problems. In our personal lives we need to solve problems each day. But not many of us learn the skills of problem solving to get the best results, and avoid common pitfalls. I certainly didn’t. We are emotional beings with analytical capabilities. Understanding how to harness both these capabilities gets the best results.

I’ve taken my corporate and artistic experience and added leading thinking from renowned academics, artists and entrepreneurs to create simple and practical methods, tools and training programs that help leaders and teams learn how to solve problems faster, with greater creativity and purpose.
