The Art of Everything Session 5
This morning, I attended session #5 of the “Leadership Conversations” series about “The Art of Everything” which is Dr. Gary Waddell's “innovative approach to leadership leans in on the habits of mind of the artist and doubles down on humility, empathy, and purpose in leadership that matters.” These events are hosted by Create CA, which organizes for arts education advocacy in California. Find notes from session #1 here and the notes from session #2 here and the notes from session #3 here (I couldn’t make it to #4).
This session was moderated by Collette Alleyne and included a whole panel of leaders discussing themes about leadership.
