S02 EP03: From faking it to storytelling with Rod Ben Zeev DOPA (The Department of Pro-Activeness).

    • Geestelijke gezondheid

In conversation with Rod Ben Zeev, Facilitator at THNK School of Creative Leadership, Amsterdam. In this episode, we discuss how to pivot from improvisation to storytelling and how to enable people to move away from a ‘fake it till you make it’ mentality.

Rod Ben Zeev has devoted his professional career to telling stories. He's written plays, screenplays, TV shows, performed stand-up comedy, founded a true storytelling night, and performed improvisational theatre all over the globe. He particularly connected with improv because of the spontaneity and the collective discovery. In order to do well you need to adhere to the basic rules: say "Yes And" to any idea, listen deeply, and connect with fellow players. If you can master these skills, you can develop mindsets that can help you be a better storyteller, innovator, and leader.

He designs and delivers innovation and leadership programs for THNK, The Haas School of Business at The University of California Berkeley, the NYPD Leadership Program at John Jay College and Stanford Media X. He has a B.A. in English Literature from Boston University and an M.A. in Cultural Analysis from the University of Amsterdam.

Mentions: Arthur Eron, Mezrab, Google Aristotle, Robert Wolfe, Marshall Gains, Language of the Senses (LOTS).
