About Simon Silva
“We had the pleasure of having Simon Silva speak as they keynote for the National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Conference in February in Virginia. His story, vision and mission spoke to the hundreds of attendees from across the United States serving the Early Childhood Education profession working with Migrant families. His journey described purpose, perseverance, humility, determination, and passion. Simon additionally held several workshops with our parents which again set the tone for preparing their own children and the importance of creativity and involvement. Simons ability to relate, motivate and inspire left us all with a sense of empowerment. We are so excited to be welcoming Simon to present to our staff and parents next week here in Washington State at our 2016 Annual Pre-Service!”

The Importance of Creativity In Leadership
In global survey of 1,500 CEO’s, IBM found that creativity was considered to be the number 1 leadership trait for the future:
"more than rigor, management discipline, integrity or even vision - successfully navigating an increasingly complex world will require creativity."
Why? Leaders will need to be creative (solve problems in new and useful ways) to stay abreast of rapid change. Further, they will need to orchestrate and encourage creativity across all the levels for which creativity is important. They will need to identify and develop creativity in individuals, build and nurture creativity in teams and set the culture and align processes to promulgate creativity throughout the whole organisation.
Simón has conducted keynote presentations numerous community colleges, universities and conferences around the country.
