Suzanne Yada

Suzanne Yada is a speaker, entrepreneur, musician and educator on a mission to help people be more human in an increasingly digital world. Called "a fine songwriter" by Ben Folds and "a monster at the piano" by Rob Wells, she has helped hundreds in the business, marketing and tech worlds with her innovative techniques about the creative process.

After working with all manner of clients, from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists to New York Times bestselling authors, from musicians and comedians with cult followings to legendary screenwriters-turned-book-authors, Suzanne had noticed a pattern in their creative processes that can be boiled down to three simple steps and applied to all areas of her life. That's when The Creative Spiral Method was born, and she is thrilled to bring her innovation framework to audiences who feel on the edge of burnout, unfulfilled in work and life, and always leaving their creative ideas on the back burner.

She has spoken at companies such as Patreon, Google, Zendesk, Pandora and CreativeMornings. She also is the director of communications for Songwriters of North America. She lives in Los Angeles and teaches songwriting classes for the city of LA.
