In this session, we’ll explore how our personal narratives shape our leadership intincts, learn to tell the difference between a conductor (a leader whose success is measured by how good everyone sounds) and a controller (a leader whose sense of security requires the talent to stay smaller, quieter, or more isolated than it actually is), and begin rewriting any inherited scripts that no longer serve us or our communities.

Our objective during this studio is to immerse ourselves in the world of artistic expression by learning about how artists use both artistic tools (i.e. pen, paper, colored pencils) and digital art platforms (such as Canva, Krita, or another digital art platform of choice) to give form to fears, hopes, and experiences. During our workshop, we will look at, contemplate, and discuss a few art pieces that relate to uncertainty. Following this, participants will engage in a meditative artistic activity of their own.
