Sarah interviews the Founder and CEO of UPFRONT, Lauren Currie. Lauren gets honest about becoming a million pound business (and how scary sharing that information with the world was), why she calls her coaching groups, ‘bonds’ and her hopes for the futures of our boys and girls. 

It is such a delightful chat, we could have quoted the entire episode. 

Get in touch with GenerativeWork directly by visiting the website, or by emailing the team at hello@generativework.space. Sarah is always so thrilled to hear from you!

"Your Good Girl's Gone Bad"

Tammy Wynette

I've never seen the inside of a bar room Or listened to a jukebox all night long But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure So I'm gonna make some changes in our home I've heard it said if you can't beat'em join'em So if that's the way you've wanted me to be I'll change if it takes that to make you happy From now on you're gonna see a different me Because your good girl's gonna go bad I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you've ever had If you like 'em painted up powdered up then you ought to be glad Cause your good girl's gonna go bad...

Filmmaker and Project Manager, Nicoletta Bertoldi, asks Sarah about effective leadership, particularly in charities and community organisations. How can we move beyond profit as the only marker of value and establish a wider exchange of value generally? And, particularly in purpose-led organisations, can we focus on well-being as a valid marker, rather than rely on self-sacrifice and a culture of overwork?

Sarah is quizzed by former client, Communications Strategist Anna Cappellini, on whether pandemic changes in work culture will last. Will we retain the informality of lockdown routines or will the corporate mask go back on? Has this experience helped us move towards more generative teams? We look at the value of embracing the contrarian within teams and including the shadow in brand identity.

We'd love to hear from YOU about YOUR journey. Reach out at hello@generativework.space

Sarah is joined by Adam Duncan, author of The Power of Ageing: Finding Yourself in the Second Half of Life, to share common experiences in exploring the evolution of consciousness. How can being present to our own mortality and awareness of living in a whole universe help us enter into a different relationship with life itself? Discover joy in uncertainty and deeper connection in vulnerability amidst a discussion on intergenerational differences in fear, purpose and value.

Sarah explains the first step in any true transformation journey begins with building capacity into the system, whether on an individual or collective level. Although it’s hard to disrupt our pattern of ‘efforting’, unless we avoid pushing expectation onto an already overworked system, there can be no space to discover anything new. Find out how nurturing the capacity to explore is a key aspect of generative leadership and what you can do to create that space for yourself.

Join the Co-Founders of GenerativeWork.Space in conversation on a key aspect of Generative Leadership. Discover how embracing uncertainty is a prerequisite to boosting creativity and unlocking hidden potential in organisations. We discuss how expanding our frame of awareness helps us meet the growing complexity of the times we’re living in.
