When we listen Anthony Guerrée talking about his all-consuming passion for reading and his fascination with Proust, one might believe he's a literature researcher.
When you listen to him quote Bourdelle Whoever said that «sculpture is drawing in all directions», one might believe they are also a sculptor.
When you listen to him explain his creative process, you might think he's a straightforward artist.
And finally, there's a bit of all of that in his approach to design.
Trained at’Boulle School, Anthony first joined the Studio Andrée Putman, before continuing his journey with Christophe Delcourt.
With these 10 years of experience in these two agencies, he founded his creative studio in 2020 and was noticed with a first singular collection, «The Lost Time Sessions».
I told you he was fascinated by Proust!
In this episode, we obviously spoke about:
But even though he works alone, Anthony Guerrée is very well supported.
He's keen on this independence, this freedom, and I understand that so much!
I thank Marie le Cerf, founder of the agency Front row, for this meeting.
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.
