workshops work 272 - Creative Leadership Means Facilitation with Arne van Oosterom
Arne van Oosterom shapeshifted from the creative coal face of consultancy life, selling beautiful shiny ideas, into the problem-oriented domain of design thinking, as a creative facilitator, leadership coach, trainer, and community architect.
But swapping aesthetic idea generation, for meaningful problem-solving that helps people to cultivate growth, demands a special duty of care for the most human things of all: for feelings, emotions, connections - and all that good stuff.
This episode is a gorgeous exploration into the creativity of being human, of fine-tuning your feelings in leadership, embodiment, and most importantly, why all leaders must be facilitators - else risk failing to lead at all.
Find out about:
- The importance of embodiment in leadership to foster greater emotional intelligence
- And, why we must tune into our bodies to ensure we align with the right work and clients
- The intrinsic relationship between facilitation and leadership
- The oxygen mask of leadership: why good leaders should create space for their own feelings first
- The role that design thinking plays in facilitation
- Why facilitators must be cognisant of different levels of group energy.
- The importance of proactive energy creation vs. waiting for clients to find you
