Answering the questions this week: Izolda Trakhtenberg

As a former Master Trainer for NASA, Izolda Trakhtenberg believes innovation isn’t just about the latest fad, it’s about creativity and collaboration. This refreshing approach has made her a sought-after speaker, workshop facilitator and coach for creatives and companies that want to be on the innovative cutting edge. Izolda has released five books on communication, collaboration, and self-improvement. She has also written three fiction novels including the first book in the Cassie Belmont Tarot Reader Mystery series. Additionally, she has recently completed “Listen,” her first play and she’s writing two musicals. Nowadays you’ll find her speaking at conferences, looking for the next great ocean beach, or performing as a soloist or in musical theatre — all while interviewing peak performers on creativity and innovation on her hit show, The Creative Solutions Podcast.
