Do you want to become a Creative Catalyst?
Welcome to the creative bonfire!
Have you ever created something that was going out into the world? A book, a digital product, a service, a new idea, a venture?
You’ve been nurturing and growing it in your loving embrace - likely for the longest time. And now it was finally here, this precious creation - big, significant and meaningful - ready to fly and become something in its own right, in many ways independent of you and shaped by other people.
And it all felt vulnerable, exciting, and scary? Yep, that is precisely the place I am in right now.
I’ve been growing a creative leadership program. It’s matured over the last three years - and I’ve been in intense creation mode for the past three months. And now it’s finally here - with its own direction of travel and an unstoppable momentum - ready to see the light of day. Ready to catalyse a paradigm shift for leadership in the world. I named it Creative Catalyst.
This thing has its own intentions that are bigger than what I initially conceived; I can feel it bubbling, and I know that whatever it is right now, it will not be tomorrow, in a month or in a year from now. It fills me with an equal measure of excitement, joy, anticipation and dread. My past visibility trauma scars are reactivated. “Is it safe to be seen? Will my voice be heard? Is it my role to claim a stake in this? Will anyone come? Will they care? Am I alone on this mission? Does this matter in the world?”
Doubt has a special place in this for me - I know it wants to keep me safe, and I welcome it. These are all great and important questions to ask - and I have answers to them all.
So, while in the presence of doubt, I also stand in grounded confidence that this is my work in the world. I will use my strengths and everything I’ve learned in ways I’ve not done before. This is my mission, and I’ve given it a voice. I know it matters. And I’m letting it go, unattached to the outcome. I am ready to embrace the process that will unfold from here - and I am ready for it to change me - again - in unforeseen ways.
And I’m inviting you into this program - to catalyse creativity and humanity in leadership. God knows we all need it now more than ever.
The information page is live, and I will announce it publicly on Monday. So for the next two days, I wanted to give you the opportunity to join first.
