Conscious Creative Leadership

Conscious Creative Leadership

Conscious Creative Leadership is a series of informal conversations about leadership in the 21st century, between close friends, trauma therapist Darren Abrahams and Leadership Mentor Nadine Benjamin MBE. Darren and Nadine are both professional singers, entrepreneurs and Certified High Performance coaches and together they explore what it means to be a leader in a changing world - starting with leading yourself. Now in our second season, each half hour chat focuses on a different element of leadership, from Clarity to Commitment to Imposter Syndrome. So if you're an artist, a creative corporate or a change maker looking for new ideas, join us to get a blueprint for a more heart centred approach to getting things done. ABOUT US We have been friends and collaborators for over a decade. We met as singers, trained together as High Performance Coaches and have been cheerleaders, supporters and truth tellers for each other as we create our own initiatives and projects. In 2021 we came together creatively for the first time to write and produce a new opera, BEAM, a story of one woman’s healing journey from trauma to leadership. These conversations have been informed by our many years of learning together and the experience of co-creation. With this podcast we’d love to invite you into that conversation with us.

    Season Three! The Sacred Call To Evolve

    We're back! It's been three years since we last sat down together, and a lot has happened, both in the world and in our own lives. So we've called this season Sacred Evolution. In this first episode we catch up on the last few years, including Nadine's long illness and Darren's reckoning with identity in a time of war, and ask what "sacred" really means to each of us. We talk about: What we mean by sacred (and why it isn't about religion)Evolution as expansion, not endless growthCathedral thinking and planting seeds for others to harvestChoosing your timelineLegacy, and what we'd like to leave behind This week's questions: What does sacred mean to you? And how are you evolving in that? ------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE PODCAST Conscious Creative Leadership is a series of informal conversations about leadership in the 21st century, between close friends, Regenerative ChangeMaker Darren Abrahams and Leadership Mentor Nadine Benjamin MBE. We are both professional singers, entrepreneurs, mentors and therapists and together we explore what it means to be a leader in a changing world - starting with leading ourselves. In our third season the conversation has become more personal. Since Season 2 the world has changed considerably. Significant life experiences have pushed us to change alongside it - to evolve and more closely examine our contribution to the times and our own place in the universe. So if you’re also looking for meaning in this rapidly transforming world, this season is an invitation to dive into the sacred and answer the call to evolve with us. About Us We’ve been friends and collaborators for over a decade. We met as singers, trained together as High Performance Coaches and have been cheerleaders, supporters and truth tellers for each other as we create our own initiatives and projects. In 2021 we came together creatively for the first time to write and produce a new opera, BEAM, a story of one woman’s healing journey from trauma to leadership. Two seasons of this podcast followed in 2022 and 2024. These conversations have been informed by our many years of learning together and the experience of co-creation.
