Joel Cohen
How Sustained Creativity is Making History
Who am I
What does it take to stay creative and
innovative for 30 straight years?
What lessons can be drawn from the process
and group dynamics of a hit TV show? What
How do you fix a leaky water heater?
Joel Cohen can answer two of those
questions.
As the Emmy award-winning writer and
producer for The Simpsons, the longest-running American scripted primetime
television series in history, Joel has been a key part of the show’s success.
Since its debut on December 17, 1989, The
Simpsons has broadcast more than 600 episodes, and was named by Time as
“The greatest TV show of the 20th century.” It has won dozens of awards,
including 31 Primetime Emmy Awards, 30 Annie Awards, and a Peabody Award.
A graduate of the University of Alberta
(B.Sc.) and York University (M.B.A.), Joel Cohen found success in the corporate
world before making a completely illogical career move into comedy writing.
Cohen’s experience as both a “creative” and a “suit” has not only left him with
a puzzling resume, it also gives him a unique perspective to discuss innovation
and its place in business. “The same factors that allow creativity to arise, to
live or to die for writers are also present and relevant in corporations and
even individuals.”
In addition to writing for several movies,
TV and online projects, Joel is also the author of the new book How to Lose a Marathon: A Starter’s Guide to Finishing in
26.2 Chapters. This hilariously chronicles Joel Cohen’s step-by-step
journey from being a couch potato to being whatever type of potato can finish a
marathon.
In his fascinating and wonderfully humorous
presentations, he provides vibrant stories and key lessons to the show’s
sustained creative process, group dynamics and culture of innovation. A
hilarious speaker, Cohen draws links between running a business and keeping a
hit show fresh. This most certainly will be the best time you will ever have at
a speech.
Joel has been invited to keynote more than
a hundred events worldwide, including Merrill Lynch, AOL, Oklahoma State
University, International Interior Design Assn., Accenture, Canadian Home
Builders Assn., Colorado State University, Red Hat, Training Magazine,
InnoTown, Illinois State University, Communique, Brightworks, Savannah College
