Leadership freedom is closer than you think
Mykel Dixon is a creative catalyst - bringing his energy and insights to people and organisations who are trying to escape the quagmire of the quotidien! His award-winning book Everyday Creative is a call to arms for anyone who wants to bring creativity back to how they live and work. If this sounds like a tall order, it is. Mykel is on a mission to get leaders to recognise the rules and constraints that no longer serve them and to move beyond them, one barefoot step on the grass at a time. If this all sounds a bit too woo-woo, Mykel succinctly connects the dots between nature, science and leadership practices to remind us that the wisdom we are seeking to make the next move is all around us.
