In this episode, we interview Paul Ninson, the founder and executive director of Dikan, a visionary education and nonprofit organisation in Accra, Ghana educating the Next Generation of Africa's Creative Leaders.Paul shares his journey and passion for storytelling, tracing it back to his childhood, where he was exposed to the rich tradition of oral history in Ghana. Isaac explores why Paul chose photography as his medium of expression. Paul reveals his love for visuals and how he discovered photography while studying at the university. He describes the joy and excitement he felt when he acquired his first camera, capturing images that made him proud and marked the beginning of his career as a photographer.The conversation then shifts to Paul's experience in Kenya, where he sought to tell indigenous African stories that had been overlooked. He elaborates on his fascination with African traditions and rulership, explaining his desire to challenge the prevailing narrative that depicted Africa from an outsider's perspective. Paul's time in Kenya served as a catalyst for his future endeavours.Isaac and Paul delve into the genesis of Dikan, which has evolved into a visual education institution rather than just a photo library. Paul shares his vision of creating a space that breaks down barriers and offers accessibility to photography and filmmaking for aspiring creatives. He emphasises the importance of building an institution that focuses on African stories, experiences, and history instead of relying on Western institutions for African studies. The curriculum at Dikan is specifically designed to address this need, with courses exploring Africa's visual history as a foundation.The episode concludes with a glimpse into the different educational programs offered at Dikan, including full-time courses, workshops, and the Teen Academy. Paul's passion for empowering young individuals shines through as he describes the educational paths available at Dikan, all rooted in celebrating African heritage and nurturing the creative talents of the next generation.Links and Resources:•Find Paul on LinkedIn•Learn more about Dikan This podcast is produced by Nexa MediaDo you have a question for our hosts, email us at hello@changeafricapodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

Design is so much more than aesthetics; it's a tool for business. Today's guest, Fred Hart, is a Partner and the Creative Director at Interact, a branding and design agency similar in many ways to our own. Fred's passion for design began with sneakers and has since transitioned to food. Interact's approach is underpinned by the principles of “simplify to amplify” and “brave design” and, during this conversation, we discuss the work they do with small, niche brands, as well as larger, more mainstream ones (Fred might even change your perspective on “big food!”) We also zoom out and talk about trends in the CPG market right now and Fred's thoughts on the future of the space. As Fred says, the opposite of bravery is conformity. If you want to know how to stand out, this episode is a good place to start! Key Points From This Episode:Exploring Interact's ‘simplify to amplify' strategic principle. The power of design as a business tool.Why Interact isn't interested in design awards. What brave design is (and an example of what it looks like). A warning against putting every possible claim on your packaging. Working with small, niche brands versus bigger, more mainstream ones (and why “Big Food” doesn't wholly deserve its negative reputation).Work Interact has done with niche brands that Fred is most proud of.  Noteworthy design trends in the CPG market right now. Fred's thoughts on personalization as the future of CPG. Interact's approach to enhancing the sustainability of their company.Two brands Fred and his team at Interact began building when the pandemic hit.What Fred gained from the altMBA and AIGA Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders programs.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:InteractFred Hart on LinkedInCleanli on InstagramaltMBAAIGA Business Perspectives for Creative LeadersLift Economy: The Next Economy MBAThe Green Marketing AcademyModern Species Gage Mitchell on LinkedInEvolve CPGEvolve CPG CommunityEvolve CPG on YouTubeEvolve CPG Email

Bodywork and mindset are often spoken of separately, which perpetuates dualism, or the artificial mind-body separation promoted by that little bitch Descartes ("I think, therefore, I am"). I was guilty of this too: there was a time when I thought all beliefs existed in the body and that if I did enough somatic work, I would be free of some of the basic harmful thought patterns that had been with me for most of my life. Beliefs are neither a top down or bottom up thing. They are bidirectional and relational! And what I eventually uncovered was that when brain and body come into alignment, you are in your true power. In this episode I clear up some misconceptions about mindset and the harmful, gaslighty ways it's sometimes used in the coaching industry. I also want to offer you some body-aligned mindset shifts that allow your body to be the healing machine it's designed to be! For example: Using your mind to track what's happening in your nervous system Attuning to and trusting your emotional experiences Welcoming sensation (changing the narrative and habit of numbing) Permission to move your body in ways that are considered irregular or "strange" Register for Back Yourself: Showing Up for Your Juicy Offer with Mind, Body + Soul https://www.eventbrite.com/e/377933708897 Learn more about HARMONIZE: Mind-Body-Soul Biz Incubator http://harmonizeyourbiz.com Access DEVOTION: Somatic intimacy alchemy for individuals and couples desiring revolutionary intimacy.  https://ishavela.com/devotion/   Access LEGACY: Somatic Biz Mentoring for Healers, Mystics + Creative Leaders https://revolutionaryrompereglas.com/legacy/   Book a free, 30-minute curiosity call with me: https://revolutionaryrompereglas.as.me/curiosity   Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isha_vela   Podcast edited and produced by ALMND.

There's a feeling that you don't want to feel and that you go to great lengths to avoid.   Getting close to it can cause anxiety and even panic attacks.    We learn it in our homes through the norms passed down through our ancestry.    We learn it in our communities and through the collective consciousness of how to be and how not to be.    It shows up in how we relate to aspects of ourselves, how we treat our partners, how we parent, how we share our gifts, and even how we engage in political discourse.   It's shame.   Though not inherently harmful, shame is most often used as a means to control expression and specific behaviors.   It can keep us silent about things that matter, squandering our delicious gifts instead of sharing them with the world. In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Lee Cordell, a pleasure-focused, trauma-informed coach and mentor for those looking to take back command over their brain, bodies, and bank accounts. She is the founder of the Institute of Trauma and Psychological Safety and uses her 13 years of clinical experience to help entrepreneurs develop shame-free inner spaces so that they can create healthier personal and professional relationships.

Do you prioritize thoughts and ideas over sensing and feeling?  Do you delay putting yourself or your creative work out there because you're obsessing over the details? Do you engage in sex without love? Much of what you experience as personal can actually be traced back to the collective trauma of whyte supremacy. Riffing off of Jones and Okun's (2001) article on white supremacy culture and adding to it my own anecdotal experiences as a mixed race, trauma-informed somatic practitioner and psychologist who grew up within a colonial context, I offer my insights on the embodiment of whyte culture and antidotes to releasing your attachment to it. In this episode, I tackle how urgency, relationship with discomfort, perfectionism, function over feeling, all or nothing thinking, and fear of conflict show up in your everyday life. Perhaps most importantly, though, I address the separation of head and body (Descartes' mind-body dualism) as well as the heart-pelvic split (collective religious trauma) that can be healed by walking the path of the sacred whore.

The mental health epidemic is no secret these days. Our insights from The Rosie Report found that 80% of traditional full-time marketing employees say their work affects their mental or physical health. 62% of traditional full-time marketing employees have suffered burnout in their current role, compared with only 36% of freelancers. During the COVID-19 work-from-home mandate, our research saw an increase in the percentage of employed marketers who say they are exercising and sleeping more, have been practicing better self-care, and have felt less work-related stress since working from home. This data provides insight that flexible talent models allow the space, time, and freedom for these practices to benefit our work and our overall mental health. In this episode of the Rosie Report podcast, Steph sits down with Laurel Stark Akman, a Creative Director and Copywriter – and member of the Rosie community – to discuss the importance of destigmatizing mental health in our industry and why we need more diverse creative leaders. Laurel is known for her passion for starting hard conversations and facilitating change using creativity, empathy, and honesty. This is clear in the work she does as co-founder of Next Creative Leaders, a portfolio competition through the collaboration between The 3% Conference and The One Club that identifies, celebrates and gives a global platform to talented women and non-binary creatives who are making their mark on the world with both their work and a unique point of view on creative leadership. Laurel is also co-founder of Our Silent Partner, a crowd-sourced reflection on mental health where creatives in our industry can turn their struggles with mental health into a public portfolio of creative work in order to encourage us all to talk, open and honestly.

Creative Leadership means…leading in a way that embraces life-long learning; this leader is someone who handles change with creative thinking skills and a “I can figure this out” attitude; this leader is as committed to their own autonomy, free from past limiting beliefs, as well as committing to connecting to others; this leader commits to bringing their unique voice and vision to the world in the service of their own abundance and the uplifting of others. 4 things we'll cover in this episode: What Creatrix Leadership IS, why it's important in this fast-changing economy, and how to grow yours in 2020 The remedies for Imposter Syndrome, "being seen," overwhelm, confusion, and fear of judgment (it’s all about shame) Connect with your Inner Authority for self-trust and get better at making good decisions, fast.

240: Inner Authority, Confidence, And Your Shadow

Inner Authority and CONFIDENCE Through Creative Self-Expression Welcome back to Her Rules Radio! I'm Alexandra Jamieson, your coach and host. Kate had a hidden, secret, second-self. Her Shadow.   Despite her success, Kate couldn’t shake the idea that women in her sales group were better than her: more sophisticated, better educated, more confident than she.    They were members of an “in-group” that she never felt invited to. She worked super hard to get her children accepted to groups and clubs and schools where they would “belong.” She always felt like an outsider at work events, school gatherings, and caught other moms giving her strange looks, and obsessed that they were judging her.   “Every time I hang out with other women at company events or conferences, I freeze up. I drink too much because I’m obsessed with how I look, always comparing myself to them.    And even though I’ve reached the Gold Circle and the top 10 people in sales at our company, I never feel like I’m good enough. I drink too much, eat too much, and can’t relax to make friends with people in a way that feels authentic. I just feel uncomfortable in myself.   It’s so weird, because I’m doing so well with my sales! People always comment on how authentic and easy-going I am in our business conversations, but when the attention turns to me in real opportunity for connection I get weird and start to feel anxious.” Freezing up is caused by an inner insecurity where we aren’t able to express ourselves fully and honestly.  Imagine you’re in front of a person or group of people whose opinion you care about.  They’re all looking at you.  Focus on how your body feels: do you feel physical signals like tightness, heart racing, sweating, or other feelings like you’re a deer in headlights?   In this moment, do you feel like you can express yourself, while feeling these feelings?   The insecurity, awkwardness, and anxiety kills our ability to connect with others, and our creative thinking shuts down. It makes us so obsessed with how others might judge us, that we can’t be authentically generous and become overly self-focused. Which makes us feel more alienated.   Through our coaching conversations, K realized she was keeping herself from these relationships. We practiced and K was able to approach a couple of the women in her company that she wanted to connect with.    She asked if they’d be interested in forming a women’s group within the company, so they could support each other. K told them about her inner anxiety and what she was working on with her coach, and they immediately opened up:    They had also been feeling disconnected and wanted to create stronger relationships at work, with her! In fact, they both looked up to her and hoped they could learn more from her about how she had become so successful!   K has misjudged them: she had become so self-obsessed and withholding that there wasn’t an opening for the other women to approach her. Both sides were wrong about each other. And by bravely, vulnerably opening up to them, they were able to begin a new way of being together.   Insecurity seems to have a life of its own.   Inside each of us is a hidden, secret, second-self. The Shadow.   All those feelings of inadequacy, fear, and self-doubt, are our inner shadow. It’s the part of us we try to hide. The part we fear we’ll be judged for, if anyone knew the truth. It’s everything about ourselves we don’t want to be, but fear we truly are.   It’s called The Shadow, because it follows us everywhere. It’s your dark side, your ego, Bitch Brain, low-vibration self, and id. It’s the grotesque Mr. Hyde to our respectable Dr. Jekyll.    Your shadow impacts how you see yourself. It doesn’t matter if others see you as successful, beautiful, brilliant, and wonderful: if your shadow says you’re a reject, a loser, too fat, too old, or too lame, that’s what you’re likely to believe about yourself.   The Shadow is our insecurity.  And it’s why insecurity is impossible to get rid of.   The only way to manage The Shadow is to integrate it.  AND, turn it into a source of strength.   This truth speaks to our most basic, shared human struggle: We all want to feel worthy, loveable, and capable.  But we are the only ones who see our shadow, and we feel ashamed.   We feel so disgusted by our inner truth, we turn away from The Shadow and look outside ourselves for something that makes us feel worthy, loveable, capable, and valuable.   So we look to others to validate us, approve of our work, our ideas, our selves.    It’s why we get obsessed with celebrities and influencers, or the woman in our field who has a social media following twice the size of our own:   We think that because others focus on this person, that she has been validated and approved of. And we focus on the “vanity metrics” of follower size,    Our need for acceptance causes us to buy things we don’t really want, follow career paths we don’t truly care about, create things that aren’t our true calling because they’ve been validated by likes.    The shadow is an innate part of the human being, but most of us are willfully blind to its existence. We hide our negative qualities, from ourselves and everyone else.    To hide we might criticize others in an effort to take the attention off of ourselves. We go through life with a false sense of superiority and a belief that while others act badly or destructively, we ourselves are wholly virtuous and always in the right. But we know it’s not true, because a part of us is always aware of The Shadow.   No amount of approval from others can make you feel whole or worthy.  Because no amount of outside validation can eliminate your inner Shadow. We can’t escape it, because it’s always there, lurking beneath the surface, hiding behind our outer appearance, making us feel a failure, embarrassed, and weak.    When you need validation from people and metrics outside yourself, you give them your power. They become your ruler.   No matter what you do, you are always seeking this validation, which causes you to edit your ideas, your truth, your uniqueness. It makes us twist ourselves and silence our voices in order to hide The Shadow from everyone around us.   So every time you get into a group of people, or start to reveal yourself, you freeze in an effort to hide The Shadow within. You get unfocused, confused, or stop your forward momentum with expressing yourself.   What healers and psychologists since Carl Jung have known is that the way to heal our relationship to The Shadow is to embrace it, integrate it, and learn from it.    Embrace The Shadow, and Unleash Your Creative Self-Expression (USCSE)   Think back to when you were a kid, and felt free to express yourself. Maybe it was creativity, play, movement, or imaginative self-expression. When we are small, until we experience the first traumas of life, we have a feeling of freedom in our bodies and have no Shadow to hide.   We are connected to the Universal Spirit of Creative Self-Expression.  We are filled with it when we’re young.  You see it in kids you know.   This Universal Spirit of Creative Self-Expression drives us to share who we are, what we think, and how we feel without filter, and uncaring of how others react, or what they might think about us. It causes us to share ourselves in a genuine, truthful way.    When you embody this Spirit, you speak and share yourself with clarity, depth, excitement, energy, and authenticity.    You become a channel, a conduit, for something greater, and Universally True.    We all feel it in different ways:  Writing, speaking, singing, dancing, painting.  Athletes get “in the zone.” Flow. Intuition. Creating. You’re speaking or acting from your deepest, truest self, because you are connected to this spirit, this energy, that we all have the ability to connect with.   As children we all naturally express ourselves from this Universal Spirit. As we grow into adults, we get injured, judged, and punished for our unique expression, and learn to hide it.   By the time we become teenagers we are obsessed with outside approval from our peers.    Then we have to hide anything about ourselves that might be judged as bad or weird.    And we use our hidden place to store all the things about ourselves that might, in any way, be unlikeable, unworthy, or unlovable.   So our inner, hidden self becomes a dumping ground, and we keep using our energy to hide within ourselves. Our least-favorite qualities become inextricably tied with who we truly are, down underneath all the outside show we put on for others.   And our Inner Truth turns into something we hate, The Shadow.    This means, dear one, that our Shadow holds the key to our true self, our inner authority and confidence, and our creative self-expression.   It takes powerful tools to unlock this gorgeous confidence.   The best tool I can share that I’ve used myself and with countless clients, is Creative Self-Expression.   Some examples:   #1 When I finally came clean and shared that I was eating meat again after being vegan for 10+ years, I had to face The Shadow that I was a fraud and a failure. The truth was, through sharing my evolution and new reality, that I was honoring my body, which I had been trying to control through food. In the social media firestorm that came next, I discovered a much bigger audience of people who wanted help in creating a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.   I felt honest and self-expressed. And my business grew.   #2 My client K applied for and won a coveted promotion that moved her family to Amsterdam.    #3 Other clients have worked with their shadow to realize that they were still trying to appease their parents through their current career track or presentation, and decided to stop hiding their message and passion. Building platforms, writing books, speaking out more often.   When we stop caring what people think of us, or how they’ll judge us, and begin to self-express more clearly and creatively, people are drawn to us. We become a magnet for clients and important relationships.    You are just one of the few who has bravely stepped up to integrate The Shadow.   “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.” (Carl Jung)   Once we become more aware of The Shadow in ourselves, we must honor it and find a way to integrate it into our life. It’s the Uncommon Path of Creative Leaders who Thrive. If we fail to do it, or continue to hide it (and hide from it), we become weak and scattered because we’re trying to serve our authentic self and hide our shadow, which dissipates our powers and energy. The shadow must become a part of one’s conscious personality.   Tap into your Inner Authority, through Creative Self-Expression.   Embrace your hidden self, knowing every single human being, even the greats you admire, has their own shadow they’re wrestling with.   Embrace it, and speak with it, knowing you are the only Inner Authority who matters.   TEXT: CREATRIX to 33444 To get on the early bird list for Creatrix 2020
