Children are such geniuses.

3-year-old Jonathan conducting to the 4th movement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. The most joyous, unbridled creativity I’ve ever seen. I wonder: Will colleges start demanding YouTube proof of early artistic talent in their admissions applications?

How great that Jonathan will be able to watch this when he’s a teenager, wondering if any of the glowing things his parents said about him were ever true… Sometimes, Moms are not exaggerating when they said their kids are brilliant. Enjoy.

Welcome to The Caneelian

Hi, I'm Caneel Joyce, a leadership coach to founders and CEOs who want to change the world. I am the founder of Kickass Enterprises, a coaching and consulting company that helps leaders of venture-backed startups and visionary companies step into their full power, create thriving, iconic cultures, and build world-class businesses. I'm also co-founder of The Trust, a PhD, an ex-professor, a mom of two, a friend of many awesome people, and a former wannabe rockstar.

This is a personal site, where I share ideas and hunches while they’re still forming. My hope is that my little half-ideas can find life out there by combining with yours. I write about leadership, organizational culture, psychology, design, innovation, and the social context of the creative process – and maybe some day help each other create world-changing solutions to meaningful problems big or small.

Surprising things happen when we share. Imperfect as this is I hope this stuff helps somebody out there. No point in keeping ideas to myself. If any of this sparks a reaction I hope you'll reach out to start a conversation or a collaboration.... you never know where it might lead.
