Erik Wahl walked away from a successful corporate career after the dot-com crash, rediscovered his love of art, and decided to combine both worlds in a keynote experience that nobody else on the speaking circuit can replicate. A globally acclaimed graffiti artist, TED speaker, and number-one bestselling author, Wahl creates live paintings of iconic figures on stage while delivering a message about creativity, disruption, and the competitive advantage of thinking differently. He has delivered more than 1,500 keynotes for organizations including AT&T, Disney, Microsoft, FedEx, ExxonMobil, Ernst and Young, and XPrize.
Unthink and The Spark and the Grind
Wahl’s first book, Unthink: Rediscover Your Creative Genius, was named CEO Reads Book of the Year in 2013 and hailed by Forbes as ‘the blueprint to actionable creativity.’ His follow-up, The Spark and the Grind, landed on the CEO Reads bestseller list in its first week. He was selected as a TED presenter in 2012 and has appeared at the World Entrepreneur of the Year event hosted by Ernst and Young.
Creativity as Competitive Strategy
Wahl has raised more than $1.5 million for charitable organizations worldwide through the auction of paintings created during his presentations. He stopped selling art privately years ago, donating all proceeds to causes including domestic violence awareness.

Leadership, a word often used but rarely seen as a quality requiring you to get your hands dirty. True leadership requires essential skills and commitments for any business leader desiring to transform their people and organizational processes.
