What Are Emotionally Intelligent Creative Spaces? with Zena Collins
Manage episode 487907652 series 3564673
Most artists are experts at expressing emotions, but that doesn’t mean they’ve been taught how to navigate them offstage.
What does it really mean to build emotionally intelligent spaces in the arts?
Zena Collins, one-third of the Inclusive STAGES team, joins me to unpack emotional intelligence as a powerful tool for creative leaders. We discuss how emotions function as data, why most of us aren’t as self-aware as we think, and how assessments like the MSCEIT can reveal surprising insights into how we present ourselves in our work.
From navigating hypervigilance and burnout to rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, this episode is full of practical takeaways and powerful reflections on what it takes to lead with empathy, clarity, and courage.
Enjoy the conversation, friends!
