#65 Dan Milton Klein & Melissa Jones Briggs – how celebrating failure sparks creativity

What can acting techniques teach us about fostering creativity in
business? Dan Milton Klein and Melissa Jones Briggs join us from
Stanford University and we dive into the importance of safe spaces
where creativity can thrive, fostering psychological safety and how
leaders can set the right conditions for their teams to be
creative. Melissa and Dan also share techniques and exercises they
do with their students – plus, we try one out
ourselves!  Questions to ask yourself: What happens
to our creativity when we pivot from 'me' to 'we'? How would
you create a safe space?  When was the last time you were in a
room safe enough to take risks?  When was the last time you
celebrated a failure?  What do you think about the word
power? Guests:  Melissa Jones Briggs, an experienced
theatre artist, offers a unique perspective on the transformative
power of the performing arts. She specializes in using theatre as a
tool for social and organizational change, helping leaders enhance
their presence and impact. Dan Milton Klein, a renowned
professor at Stanford University, shares his passion for the art of
improvisation and how it can unlock creative potential. By blending
psychological research with theatrical techniques, he empowers
individuals to tap into their innate creativity and drive
innovation.  Would you like to know what lies behind the
ability to be creative and would you like to learn how to train and
