As creative industries continue to evolve, the ways we approach leadership, identity, mentorship, and growth are being reexamined and reimagined.

How do creative leaders adapt to an increasingly complex world? What does it mean to nurture human-centered creativity while navigating rapid technological change?

In this special episode of Object Subject Form, host Simon Clowes steps into the guest seat for a live dialogue hosted by Swim Creative.

He joins Maria Barbirotto and Stephanie Dunaiski to explore how creative leadership is shifting, the importance of mentorship in building resilient teams, and how identity shapes creative expression in times of uncertainty.

Drawing from his personal journey across design, film, and technology, Simon shares insights on leading with empathy, promoting human-centered creative processes, and navigating change without losing sight of purpose.

This conversation is a reflection on the ever changing creative landscape—and how staying rooted in empathy, adaptability, and human connection is essential for supporting meaningful work.
