Being Playful Not Knowing – a conversation with Steve Chapman, creator of Can Scorpions Smoke

ABOUT THE SHOW

Welcome to Leaders in Conversation with me, Anni Townend. The podcast that helps you to grow your confidence and courage as a leader.

I created this series of candid conversations for leaders to share their inspirational leadership stories, weaving together the threads of their life, offering valuable insights and rich experience to help and inspire you on your own unique leadership journey.

In each episode leaders share their personal life and leadership stories to encourage you to delve in what you really care about – your values and beliefs, your purpose and passions and how to live these through your leadership every day, in all that you do. If you are not already subscribed to the podcast please do subscribe, review and share it! Thank you

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode I am delighted to be in conversation with Steve Chapman. We delve into:

• How being playful with not knowing is at the heart of how he lives and everything he does;
• Spontaneity and allowing ourselves to be spontaneous, to experiment and let go;
• Freedom and how we can liberate ourselves the tightening grips that hold us back;
• Stuckness and what we can do to become unstuck.

STEVE’s Three Tips for Leaders in becoming more playing not knowing are:

1. Let Go
2. Notice More
3. Use Everything!
