If you’re leading a company, department, or team, this conversation is for you.
If you’re running your own consultancy, doing fractional work, or guiding clients in your role at an agency, you’re in the right place.
And if you believe in the power of self expression and the opportunity to make an impact by leaning into your own creativity, yes, this is a must-listen.
I met this week's guest, Deo Mwano, over 15 years ago.
He was still in school, but already making waves as a leader and creator.
I can still remember being in the room, memorized, as he delivered his TedX speech and dance performance in 2011, sharing his incredible personal journey, and ultimately his mission to help inspire, motivate, and make a positive impact.
Well, today he’s delivering on that mission as a creator, entrepreneur, consultant, advisor, tech founder, educator, choreographer, musician, community leader, father and so much more.
We dig into concrete lessons for leadership, including a 3-step process Deo uses in his own work helping leaders: 1) Self Reflection 2) Validation 3) Adaptability
We go through individual case studies of his work with specific individuals.
We also go deep into a specific negotiation and how Deo stayed true to his values.
And of course we talk about his technology company, MirrorIM, and how he’s helping people tap into their intrinsic motivators to learn, grow, and change.
But my favorite part is when Deo shares what motivates him to be so prolific in his own creative process, why he wants us all to remember the power and opportunity we have as creators, especially right now given the rise of AI.
And finally, what it looks like when he’s in flow making music.
This is a totally unique and valuable episode, and I’m extremely grateful to Deo for sharing his expertise and wisdom.
Let’s keep making career more of a team sport.
