This high-energy, “hands-on” session helps HR professionals explore how to use AI as a creative collaborator—not a competitor. Through interactive, play-based activities and guided reflection, participants will experience how curiosity, imperfection, and experimentation can unlock more effective, ethical use of AI in day-to-day HR tasks like job postings, screening, and employee communication.

Whether you’re cautiously curious or already experimenting with AI tools, you’ll walk away feeling more confident navigating the balance between efficiency and empathy.

Melissa Dinwiddie helps organizations build cultures of creativity, communication, and connection that drive real innovation. A former professional artist turned innovation strategist, she now helps leaders and teams unlock bold thinking through the power of play.

Melissa is the creator of the Create the Impossible™ framework—a simple, powerful process that helps people Play Hard, Make Crap, and Learn Fast so they can experiment their way to better results. Her clients have included Google, Meta, Salesforce, Stanford, and Uber, and she’s delivered interactive keynotes and workshops for audiences worldwide—from tech executives to HR professionals seeking to navigate change with confidence and curiosity.

Melissa’s first book, The Creative Sandbox Way™, is used by managers and educators to help teams unstick perfectionism and embrace experimentation. Her second book, Innovation at Work: 52 Micro-Experiments for Brave Leaders Who Want to Unstick Teams, Spark Ideas, and Build What’s Next, expands her signature framework into practical tools for change-ready organizations.
