What can acting techniques teach us about fostering creativity in business? Dan Milton Klein and Melissa Jones Briggs join us from Stanford University and we dive into the importance of safe spaces where creativity can thrive, fostering psychological safety and how leaders can set the right conditions for their teams to be creative. Melissa and Dan also share techniques and exercises they do with their students – plus, we try one out ourselves!  

Questions to ask yourself: 

What happens to our creativity when we pivot from 'me' to 'we'? 

How would you create a safe space? 

When was the last time you were in a room safe enough to take risks? 

When was the last time you celebrated a failure?  

What do you think about the word power?
