Today's guest is Chris Deaver, the co-founder of BraveCore, a leadership consultancy dedicated to helping leaders embrace creativity and empowering creatives to become better leaders. Chris has worked with Fortune 500 companies like Apple and Disney, inspiring them to develop groundbreaking content through a culture known as co-creation.
In today's corporate landscape, many companies stifle creativity and operate under toxic cultures, often without realizing it. As Chris and I discuss, this has been the norm for years because it was working. But now we've reached a tipping point where things are starting to fall apart, and the way we collaborate and build relationships needs to evolve. In our conversation, Chris and I explore what the culture of co-creation entails and how it has benefited early adopters like Apple. More importantly, we delve into practical steps you can take to cultivate a culture of co-creation in your own environment.
Even if you're not a manager or CEO, my conversation with Chris is for you. It highlights the importance of changing how we collaborate with each other to foster more nurturing relationships, regardless of our roles.
