Conscious Creative Leadership Conscious Creative Leadership

Welcome to Season Two of the Conscious Creative Leadership Podcast! In this series we’re focusing on the everyday challenges to Leadership - the things that can trip us up, derail our plans or even stop us in our tracks. Not so much the externals, but the attitudes and choices that shape the way we navigate our leadership and our lives. And of course we'll be sharing plenty of approaches you can use to both work with and overcome these challenges! 
In this first episode we ask “what is public and what is private?” and discuss the choices we make about what we share and what we keep protected. Social media has blurred the boundaries like never before, so how do we maintain privacy when constant connectivity expects 24/7 access to your life? 
Join us as we dive into several juicy areas, including:
Managing a personal and a professional lifeBoundariesThe importance of clear communicationThe blurring of lines between private life and public eyeAuthenticity and courage in leadership
And this week’s questions for you to reflect on are:
What is your daily leadership challenge? And how is it affecting you?

ABOUT THE PODCAST
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 are 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.

Darren Abrahams is a therapist, coach, trainer and singer. Co-Founder of The Human Hive and the One World Orchestra, Wellbeing Advisor for Musicians Without Borders, board member of Opera Circus and co-creator of BEAM.

Today we 're diving into the challenges of finding clarity in our professional identity. As multi-passionates, we have both struggled with explaining to the world who we are based on what we do! We love doing lots of different things, but the challenge has been to define the connecting values within those that make sense of all our different projects. 
Join us as we explore:
Identity and purpose in leadershipConsistency of messaging for multi-passionatesFocusing on the “why” behind the “whats”Showing up and staying in the roomSelf care, co-care and role modelling
Plus, we put some questions to you to help you in clarifying your own identity:
How do you help the world understand who you are? What part of your identity invites you into service?

This week we discuss Imposter Syndrome - that creeping feeling inside that whispers you’re not good enough... even when you’re beyond qualified. Various surveys from the 1970’s to the 2020’s suggest that between 30% and 70% of us experience imposter syndrome at some point in our lives, depending on our context and identity, and we know it's something many of you can relate to.
So join as as we explore: 
The kinds of behaviours that spring from Imposter SyndromeThe need to find resilience in adversityCompetition and comparisonSelf worth And shifting to a culture of gratitude and service
And this week’s questions to ponder are:
What ways do you celebrate yourself? If you don’t, how can you start? Or if you do, how can you remember to keep doing it?

This week we zero in on Failure - an inevitability for anyone taking a leadership role!  But it's one that can be challenging to navigate. We don’t really believe in failure as such, but we do recognise that things don’t always go to plan and recognise that this can have long term consequences for our reputations, resilience and self esteem. So join us as we cover:
The difference between mistakes and getting things wrongThe connection between failure and creativityResistance and procrastinationLetting go, and giving up
And this week’s thought-provoking question is:
What is pointing you to a natural ending right now?
