Powerful Womxn Who Are Changing The World: Genein Letford
An Interview with Natalie Ruiz
--
As part of my series about “Powerful Womxn Who Are Changing The World”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Genein Letford, who is an Intercultural Creativity Keynote, Author, and Trainer. She got her start and found her passion for intercultural creativity work when she was working with young children, promising teens, and C-suite executives all at the same time and saw how her work could impact the world. Genein has woven together financial wellbeing, creativity, and inclusion into her work to create a truly important concept that she believes will change the world.
I am thrilled to highlight Genein Letford and the amazing work she is doing through her organization!
As the 2019 LA Lakers Business Woman and the 2015 CA Charter Teacher of the Year, Genein is a national thought leader and creator of the concept of ‘Intercultural Creativity™’. She is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of CAFFE Strategies, LLC which trains C-Suite executives and employees to create sustainable organizational equity and inclusion strategies while unleashing their innovative thinking for themselves and in their businesses. Her 7 Gems of Intercultural Creativity is a leading framework that encourages corporations in their diversity and inclusion development while developing critical cognitive tools for creative thinking.
Her first book, From Debt To Destiny: Creating Financial Freedom From the Inside Out connects creative thinking to financial agility and was an international bestseller in 5 finance categories. Genein believes creative thinking thrives best in an inclusive environment and she is often called ‘America’s Creative Coach’ for her work in reigniting intercultural creativity within our workforce.
