In this episode Emma unpacks what a 'body of work' is and how we can bring this way of thinking and creating into our business. Usually a term reserved for the artistic, creative or academic industries, Emma shares with you how you can create a 'body of work' and 'bodies of work' within your business and how this will radically change your perspective in your business day to day.

Why is this important? Emma encourages you to become a 'Business Artist' and see the world of business through a new lens - that of the artistic and creative and that this may add colour, meaning and a new sense of passion for your business.

> Understanding how your 'body of work' is being created all the time, with everything you do, changes your perspective on the pieces that make up the whole. > You see your creation output as 'your life's work'. > You see how your body of work creates your life's work and therefore your contribution to the world.

I've been interested in the practice and science of meditation for quite awhile. I'm also fascinated by the way meditation can enhance our creativity when we're experiencing changes to our brain waves. In this episode I discuss the main brain waves experienced during meditation and why this seems to have a positive impact on our creativity.

I refer to the following sources during this episode:

Emma Franklin Bell discusses how burnout could be killing your creativity and what to do about it. Signs you think you might be a bit burnt out or heading that way... Feeling really tired Feeling overwhelmed Depressed Lack of motivation for what you're doing Confused or forgetful Trying to "push through" Procrastinating Emotional Getting sick Can lead to creativity blocking... This can then cause real problems when it comes to our creativity. We can feel stifled, blocked or just like we don't have the energy or bandwidth to feel creatively in flow.

How to get back on top? Stop Take time out Recharge Self care Go away Tune into your body Sleep Eat really well Exercise that feels right for what you need Treat yourself Don't push so hard Understand that everything is happening at the right time Put things back in your calendar - things can happen a bit later Knowing that it's ok, everything will get done, it just might take a bit longer.

Sometimes goal setting can feel draining, straining or you're quite simply, just over goal setting. If you're finding something in life challenging, draining or frustrating, I say mix things up and try something different.

This episode takes you through a journal lesson centering around 4 questions to ask yourself instead of trying to make yourself "do" goal setting.

In this short episode, follow Emma as she guides you through these 4 questions to help you explore where you'd like to go and what you'd like to create in 2018.

In this episode Emma Franklin Bell welcome's you to The Creativity Conversation. Emma fills you in on who she is and what her background is, but rather than a biography Emma takes us back and shares her professional background through 'the lessons she's learned' in the different phases of her life.

Emma discusses her background in the performing arts, then she discusses the years she choreographed and taught dance to people of all ages.

Emma then explores the time in her life in her mid-twenties where she moved away from dance and decided to stretch herself with study and education.

The final phase Emma discusses is her transition into starting her first business, The Ladies Lounge podcast, her business coaching and her book writing.

Emma concludes with what she's up to now and her passion for women in business, female leadership and how developing people's creativity is what truly drives her.
