Wonder Women in Business, Melissa Dinwiddie

Melissa Dinwiddie’s superpower is enabling creativity, whether you believe you’re creative or not, helping you push to the fearlessness side of things to spark innovative ideas all throughout your company. Using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, she helps your team “think with their hands,” getting their ideas on the table in 3D. As a visual practitioner, she gets their ideas up on the wall in graphic form, so you can see the big picture—themes AND gaps. Whether in a half-day workshop, a multi-day offsite, or anything in-between, her methods are fun and engaging, and people feel heard and respected while activating both left and right sides of the brain. Teams rave for months about how much fun they had learning. Melissa is a mutiply-certified facilitator of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methods and materials. A professional artist & calligrapher for 15 years, I bring a creative outsider’s perspective to your corporate setting, and now channel my background into graphic facilitation. Also, as a trained improv performer and jazz singer, Melissa teaches teams the skills of collaboration, communication & leaning into uncertainty in high-stakes contexts. As an online business owner since 2010, Melissa has developed the skills to deliver online sessions for distributed, virtual, or hybrid teams.
