The Generative Work Podcast

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.

"Your Good Girl's Gone Bad"

I've never seen the inside of a bar room

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.

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. And how our ability to adapt to the new depends on whether our organisational culture is based upon either fear or trust.

Sarah James Wright is interviewed by former client Sadie Sharp about how she got started with working generatively and how the future of work might equate to taking the red pill or the blue pill in The Matrix (although we get the colours mixed up in the interview). We talk about the masks both individuals and organisations tend to wear, the relief of discovering a different way or working, and what the impact of this has been on Sadie’s own work.
