Welcome to Season Two of the Conscious Creative Leadership Podcast! In this series we’re focusing on the everyday challenges to Leadership - the things that can trip us up, derail our plans or even stop us in our tracks. Not so much the externals, but the attitudes and choices that shape the way we navigate our leadership and our lives. And of course we'll be sharing plenty of approaches you can use to both work with and overcome these challenges!
In this first episode we ask “what is public and what is private?” and discuss the choices we make about what we share and what we keep protected. Social media has blurred the boundaries like never before, so how do we maintain privacy when constant connectivity expects 24/7 access to your life?
Join us as we dive into several juicy areas, including:
- Managing a personal and a professional life
- Boundaries
- The importance of clear communication
- The blurring of lines between private life and public eye
- Authenticity and courage in leadership
And this week’s questions for you to reflect on are:
What is your daily leadership challenge? And how is it affecting you?

ABOUT THE PODCAST
Conscious Creative Leadership is a series of informal conversations about leadership in the 21st century, between close friends, trauma therapist Darren Abrahams and Leadership Mentor Nadine Benjamin MBE. Darren and Nadine are both professional singers, entrepreneurs and Certified High Performance coaches and together they explore what it means to be a leader in a changing world - starting with leading yourself. Now in our second season, each half hour chat focuses on a different element of leadership, from Clarity to Commitment to Imposter Syndrome. So if you are an artist, a creative corporate or a change maker looking for new ideas, join us to get a blueprint for a more heart centred approach to getting things done.
ABOUT US
We have been friends and collaborators for over a decade. We met as singers, trained together as High Performance Coaches and have been cheerleaders, supporters and truth tellers for each other as we create our own initiatives and projects. In 2021 we came together creatively for the first time to write and produce a new opera, BEAM, a story of one woman’s healing journey from trauma to leadership. These conversations have been informed by our many years of learning together and the experience of co-creation. With this podcast we’d love to invite you into that conversation with us.
Darren Abrahams is a therapist, coach, trainer and singer. Co-Founder of The Human Hive and the One World Orchestra, Wellbeing Advisor for Musicians Without Borders, board member of Opera Circus and co-creator of BEAM.
