As she says in her book Reconciliation (published by Marabout in 2019), «we are not the job we do».
And that is just as well, because despite our attempts, we don't really know how to define her job. Because she has several.
Journalist, author, yoga and meditation teacher, event organiser,... Lili Barbery-Coulon is in some way a transmission channel.
She communicates her vision and her values; she leads the way, she prompts introspection; she shares what is good and beautiful.
Given that she had already spoken about her journey and written on the subject, we began by discussing mindfulness, in order to leave even more room for spontaneity during our interview.
That being said, Lili and I discussed things at length, and we had the opportunity to talk in detail about her activities and her business model, but also:
Concentration in the digital age ;
Of emotions; ;
Influential; ;
Personal branding and how to embody it; ;
And of his desire to place doubt back at the centre of his thinking.
If you’d like to find out more about what I call Creative Management, I dedicated a full episode to it a few months ago.
Today, I would like to take a closer look at one aspect of Creative Management: team-building.
What exactly does it involve?
What are the benefits?
I also share a great example, as well as a counter-example, from my own experience as an employee.
And bonus: I talk about my favourite sports coach, Ted Lasso. (no spoiler as I haven’t started Series 4 yet).
If you're interested in offering your team a workshop / team-building / training session, do drop me an email! lbm@lilibonnet.com
I can organise and facilitate almost anywhere in the world 🙂
I’ve known Fabien for over 20 years, back when he was a graphic designer.
We worked together on a project and have stayed in touch — partly because it’s something I enjoy doing, of course, but mainly because I’ve always admired his entrepreneurial spirit.
Even when he enrolled at art school, he didn’t know what he was going to do later on; he just had a fairly broad vision of his future:
– getting up whenever he wanted;
– not working for a boss;
– and living in a loft.
Today, that’s exactly what he’s doing.
He’s the owner of UNSEEN, a vintage shop in Brussels, but he’s also a designer, a carpenter…
it’s clearly impossible to define him in a single word, as he has developed and put to use a wide range of skills.
And it’s quite fascinating to see how much this multi-potential individual needs to free himself from the constraints that a single skill entails, to allow himself not to be confined to just one profession. Not to limit himself. And that is precisely the driving force behind everything he undertakes.
this episode, we also talked about:
– pop culture,
– imposter syndrome,
– mental health,
– and identity, thanks to his recent reconnection with his country of origin, Vietnam.
