What people said
"It was science. It was art. it was philosophy.
It was unlike anything I attended before."
Christopher Sweeney
Writer, Producer & Professor
Seneca Polytechnic — Toronto, Canada
"I attended a talk on ‘Creativity’ given by Glenn D’Hondt at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, where I teach. I went with some mild curiosity but mostly at the behest of a colleague who had organized it. I was not expecting much. I figured I would make an appearance and then duck out. It seemed like it might be a wishy-washy sort of thing – creativity? What did that mean?
Instead, Glenn presented a lecture and discussion which positively electrified and delighted me. It was science. It was art. It was philosophy. It was like nothing I had attended before.
What struck me most was Glenn’s good humour and pragmatic approach to teaching people how to be creative. As a creative writing and film production professor, this was a quest I myself have been on for a while. Can creativity even be taught? Glenn answers that with a resounding ‘yes’.
So much of what he talks about and what he does in the classroom resonates with me and reflects processes and strategies I have developed, stolen and stumbled on over the years. But here was a presentation that put them into a coherent practice with science and philosophy to back it up.
I definitely geeked out on this stuff and wish I could take such a class with Glenn as a student. Instead, I admire what he does and will shamelessly use what I learned from him going forward.
When I grow up, I hope I can teach a class called Creativity like Glenn does. But until then, you should probably take his class instead."
"Glenn is an engaging, charming and thoroughly entertaining speaker"
Glenn not only inspires deep reflection but also sparks meaningful conversations, motivating listeners to think differently and apply new perspectives in their personal and professional lives."
Holly Cybulski
Professor & Program Coordinator
Seneca Polytechnic — Toronto, Canada
"Glenn is an engaging, charming, and thoroughly entertaining speaker who effortlessly captures the attention of every audience. His ability to blend storytelling, insight, and humour creates a dynamic experience that resonates long after the lecture ends.
Glenn not only inspires deep reflection but also sparks meaningful conversations, motivating listeners to think differently and apply new perspectives in their personal and professional lives."
"Our students fell completely silent during the lecture and kept talking about it long afterwards"

"Glenn's lectures are a must for every school professional"
Stijn Schouwers

Academy of Fine Arts, Arendonk — DKO
"Creativity isn't always about bold ideas or big breakthroughs – it's about perspective, presence, and the stories hidden in everyday life. Thanks Glenn for the reminder to keep my eyes and mind open"
