Arden’s Einstein story began October 15, 1985. At the time, scientist, researcher, educator, creativity expert and keynote speaker, Arden Bercovitz, Ph.D., CSP, was a Reproductive Endocrinologist at an internationally renowned zoo. He was studying captive breeding of endangered birds, and was presenting original research to international science conferences. 

Always striving to excel, Arden wanted to become a better presenter of his scientific data. So he attended a Toastmasters meeting. The moment Arden heard about a unique category of speakers, who present as historical characters, Albert Einstein popped into Arden’s head! Arden had a year of college physics, with no special interest in Einstein. But there Einstein was, in his head. And, like you, Arden knows a good idea when it bumps into him.

Arden’s Einstein debuted in 1988, with a purpose: to explore and expand creativity and to help people learn new ways of thinking. Skillfully weaving stories and quotes from Einstein's life with the issues currently facing each group, Arden helps people to recognize new windows of opportunity. Entertaining, humorous, captivating, and thought-provoking, Einstein’s inspiring words act as “candy for the mind,” nudging neurons, and catalyzing Outside-the-Box-Big-Picture Thinking! And, Arden, still in character as Einstein, does an incredible, not-to-be missed Q&A. People say they feel like they are in the presence of the great man, himself! Arden likes to say, “It’s as close as you can get!”

Over the years, Arden’s client list has grown to include many Fortune 500 corporations, government groups, and professional associations in a wide range of industries: telecom, energy, utility, financial, education, computer, user groups, engineering, manufacturing, R&D, construction, medical, bio tech, and pharmaceutical, among others. 

Says Einstein, “Creativity is seeing what everyone sees and thinking what no one has ever thought.” Bercovitz's goals are to nudge some neurons, juice up creativity, and catalyze BIG Picture thinking. "People learn best by example," said Bercovitz, "and Einstein is a compelling model."

Arden received his Ph.D. in Reproductive Endocrinology from the University of Missouri, Columbia, in 1976, his MS from the University from Washington, Pullman, and his BS from Cal Poly, Pomona. His multi-disciplinary training included emphasis on the environment and nutrition. He holds a lifetime teaching credential and has taught science at elementary and college levels. He also served as Dean of Learning Assessment for a private university. 
His portrayal of Einstein has been featured in SUCCESS magazine, the Los Angeles Times, the San Diego Business Journal, the San Diego Union Tribune, and numerous trade journals and local papers.
