These days, there's an almost constant pressure to innovate, think creatively, do creative things. As leaders, we often find ourselves needing to build or inspire that creativity in others. What's the secret to doing this well? Is there one? Find out in this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Llarena, Meditation Practitioner, Podcast Host, and bestselling author of 'Fertile Imagination'. We'll discuss creativity, imagination, and mindset, as well as how leaders can build & sustain creative thinking in a team. Melissa also shares her journey through various industries, and the lessons learned from these experiences; such as how constraints can foster more innovative solutions. The discussion touches on the evolving nature of work, the balance between remote and in-office dynamics, and the significance of employee wellness in fostering creative environments.
