SPECIAL GUEST

PRESENTED BY:

By all accounts Peter Himmelman has had a unique career. He is a Grammy and Emmy-nominated musician, film composer, visual artist, entrepreneur, and author. In yet another twist, Himmelman is perhaps the only rock star to have ever received an advanced management certificate from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. His company Big Muse unlocks the creativity of corporations, organizations, and individuals worldwide. Within the last few years, Peter and his Big Muse team have taken their special skills to academic institutions such as The Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania and The UCLA School of Medicine, as well as corporate behemoths like McDonald’s, Gap Inc., 3M, Adobe and United Health Group, to help them grow and prosper. His latest book entitled, Let Me Out (Unlock your creative mind and bring your ideas to life) has garnered raves from a wide range of people.

“Fear is one of life’s biggest roadblocks, which is why Peter Himmelman’s book is so important. Let Me Out gets to the heart of how we can keep fear from limiting our potential by tapping into our inner resilience, creativity, and strength. There’s deep wisdom here along with very practical tools for translating our ideas into the real world.”— Arianna Huffington

“Peter Himmelman is an award-winning musician, and he knows what it takes to overcome fear and unlock our creative potential. In Let Me Out, his energy, humanity, and imagination literally leap off the page. I can’t wait to share it with my readers and my students.” —Adam Grant Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take

“Let Me Out shares Peter Himmelman’s vision and enthusiasm for the creative process of work, and life for that matter. It will make you want to be him when you grow up. But it won’t feel like growing up. It will feel like joyfully stepping into the person you were meant to be.” —Barbara Hall Writer, producer, and creator of Judging Amy, Joan of Arcadia, and the CBS hit Madame Secretary
