The Hello Monday Master Class: Be Creative with Natalie Nixon and Laura Linney
Manage episode 424519798 series 2575919
Welcome back to the Hello Monday Master Class! We've distilled the essence of hundreds of conversations into five essential rules that will empower you to thrive in an ever-changing professional landscape. It's week four, and we are focused on something that is truly critical to success: getting creative.
In this episode, we learn from creativity strategist and author Natalie Nixon, and celebrated actress Laura Linney. Our culture is productivity heavy, but just tasking through a to-do list doesn’t move culture or solve problems. We need creativity for that. So today, we'll talk about how to leverage creativity in what Natalie calls a “VUCA” environment - volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Laura shares her willingness to let the process of making and doing feel deeply uncomfortable - to invest in the process itself rather than obsessing over a desired outcome. And Natalie introduces her key to creativity - a framework of three “i”s.
For this week’s exercise, we’re leaning into inquiry! Head over to our free Hello Monday group on LinkedIn and share one of the best questions you’ve ever been asked. Then, check out some of the other contributions and start talking with other master class listeners.

We are huge fans of Laura Linney’s, and appreciate her framework for withstanding the mushy middle of creative processes. This conversation with Laura even got us nominated for a Webby back in 2020! To hear the whole thing, click here.
