Creative Leadership 101 - Lead without authority. Create trust. Unlock creativity
Your coach is Arne van Oosterom
In a world where teams are diverse, structures are increasingly flat and influence matters more than titles, Creative Leadership has become the new way of leading. In this 90-minute Creative Leadership 101, you’ll learn the fundamentals of how to build brave spaces where people feel safe to contribute, experiment and speak up, the foundation for innovation in any team or community.
What You’ll Learn
1. Foundations of Creative Leadership
• Understand why trust, psychological safety, and openness are the modern leader’s most powerful tools.
• Explore how leadership shifts when you’re not someone’s boss, yet still need to guide, inspire, and align.
• Discover why creative leadership is a way of life, not a job title.
2. Everyday Leadership Behaviours
• Reflect on how you show up in daily interactions (at work and at home) and identify where creativity is blocked or encouraged.
• Learn the core behaviours of creative leaders: curiosity, reframing, enabling others, experimentation, and flexibility.
• Practice creating “brave spaces” where ideas can grow and diverse voices can thrive.
3. Actionable Skills for Real Life & Real Teams
• Bring a current team, project, or personal situation and apply creative leadership tools directly to it.
• Design a small behaviour experiment you can start tomorrow to lead with more trust, courage, and creativity.
• Learn simple practices to strengthen psychological safety, even in fast-paced or high-pressure environments.
