Van Lai-DuMone

Creative Culture & Leadership EXPERT
Los Angeles

Van is a forward-thinking consultant who transforms teams and leaders through her signature Creative Integration™ method—a dynamic blend of curiosity, creativity, and behavioral science. 

A catalyst for mindset shifts and lasting behavior change, Van helps organizations tackle critical challenges like low engagement, high turnover, and stagnant innovation. Her experiential programs and keynotes redefine creativity—not as a luxury, but as a strategic asset for leadership, collaboration, and problem-solving. 

Through immersive learning and proven frameworks, participants gain practical tools to lead with impact, think creatively under pressure, and build resilient, high-performing teams. Her approach drives stronger culture, measurable performance gains, and business-wide innovation. 

Van believes that creativity lives in everyone, and that the best ideas often come from unexpected places—when organizations make space for curiosity, growth follows. 

Her client roster includes Google, LinkedIn, NBC Universal, Chiat Day, LA Philharmonic, and Pepperdine University. She shares her message globally through her TEDx talk, What If? The Life-Changing Power of Curiosity, and her book, What If Pigs Can Fly? A Practical Guide to Follow Your Curiosities to Achieve Impractical Possibilities. 

Van fuels her creativity through traveling and diving into hands-on art forms like stained glass and ceramics; and of course, spending time with her curious 12-year-old son.
