Key Leadership Lessons from MaryLou Kayser’s Journey:

  • Creativity is a Human Skill, Not a Job Title. MaryLou debunks the belief that creativity is exclusive to artists. Instead, she frames it as a deeply human quality accessible to anyone willing to explore curiosity and discomfort.

  • The Power of Routine: Holy Hour & Self-Trust. MaryLou’s “Holy Hour” morning practice builds self-trust and mental resilience. Creativity thrives when you consistently show up—even when inspiration doesn’t.

  • AI is Fire: Use It Ethically, Not Fearfully. Rather than seeing AI as a threat, MaryLou teaches how to co-create with it. When used ethically, AI becomes a thought partner—not a ghostwriter—enhancing rather than replacing your voice.
