"When we follow our curiosity...and take small steps towards that curiosity, that's how we create possibilities for ourselves and for others." -Van Lai-DuMone
In this episode of the Control the Room Podcast, Van Lai-DuMone and I unpack the creative footprint that inspired her to dedicate her life's work at worksmART to uncover creativity in every organization. Van shares her observations on the creativity disconnect she's seen unfold in the corporate workforce and how teams can reignite collective creativity in their work. She highlights her go-to creativity strategies that demonstrate trying a "different" approach in the workplace and the significance in discovering creative artifacts for teams. Van and I discuss the transformative impact a strong collaboration flow has on teams when working on projects/ideas as well as when coordinating virtual and in-person events and meetings. We specifically speak to how organizations must prioritize connection in both the virtual & physical landscapes to make a successful shift to hybrid work, and the need for intentionality in daily workplace interactions in order to provide space for real connection in organizations. Listen in to hear Van's perspective on her journey to living a life in creativity and rediscovering your organization's creative niche.
