Primers on creativity and mental toughness

Apr 15, 2021

Two featured speakers at the AICPA & CIMA CFO Conference, Josh Linkner and LaRae Quy, are sharing previews of their conference sessions in this episode. Linkner discusses how organizations can foster creativity, even in supposedly noncreative jobs, and how that creativity can lead to everyday innovation. Quy, an author and former FBI agent, shares details on the importance of mental toughness.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

  • Keynote speaker and innovation expert Josh Linkner’s explanation for calling himself a “creative troublemaker.”
  • Why Linkner believes we shouldn’t link creativity to someone’s job title.
  • The harrowing story of an FBI agent’s first ride-along and how it underscored the importance of mental toughness.
  • The reasons our cerebral brain and emotional brain must work together.
  • Updates on new treatment of excess premium tax credits, an extended comment period for an AICPA Auditing Standards Board exposure draft on quality management, and the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program’s rough start.
