Creative ID™
‘Lawyer’ and ‘Creative’ are not two words you usually see in the same sentence. Yet they should be! According to the Future of Jobs report issued in 2023 by The World Economic Forum, ‘Creative Thinking’ is the #1 skill needed for future job success. Unfortunately, most lawyers don’t believe they are creative and struggle to integrate creativity into their legal practice. This action-packed session seeks to solve this dilemma by exploring what creativity looks like the world of law; and importantly, how you can leverage your (often overlooked) creative intelligence to future-proof your firm, your clients and your professional self.
For 25+ years, Hanne has fuelled individuals, teams and organisations with the power of people-led creativity. She spent the first half of her career working in innovation for Diageo, McVitie’s and latterly Kellogg’s where she was Head of European Innovation. Since 2007, Hanne has dedicated her time to developing Creative ID™, a psychometric framework leveraging proprietary research conducted in partnership with the University of Sheffield. Hanne is driven by the mission to put creative intelligence within reach of everyone (not just the lucky few!) so the world of work becomes a more human, agile and inclusive place to be.

I’m an English-qualified lawyer living and working in Copenhagen. Previously, I was General Counsel at the software company Configit and prior to that worked at the Jamie Oliver Group.

I’m looking forward to speaking about this in October at the Legal Geek conference!

Being a lawyer is stressful. We all know that. But our body’s stress response has been designed for a very different world, and a very different kind of stressor to those we now face as modern day lawyers (and humans). There’s only one way to address this – to understand our stress response cycle and to make sure we complete it. Natalie will show us how…
