International Women's Day 2020, meet 100 trailblazers redefining the creative industry. At The Dots, International Women's Day isn't just a day – it's a whole month! A time to take over the site and shine a light on the women and non-binary people redefining the creator landscape.

Nicole Yershon the maverick, inspiration and the original rough diamond. She is, at once a consultant, speaker, judge, mentor and connector. Operating on the front lines of innovation, Nicole brings organizations kicking and screaming  into the 21st Century. In that sense she properly defines disruption. Nicole enjoys operating at the complex and vital intersections between creativity, technology, marketing and the future.

Nicole dives into her time at Ogilvy & Mather and a rather ingenious way of generating R&D budget for their London Digital Innovation Lab that involved pimping out Rory Sutherland, her Fearless Manifesto, the work of The NY Collective, her best-selling Amazon book Rough Diamond and a whole lot more.

Just be careful what you wish for. A great friend of mine asked me to drop in on a series of workshops they were already doing and add a bit of inspiration. To say this is my idea of a great invitation is an understatement.
