Description

Is there a business case for love? Does love need to be productised or deliver an ROI in order to be valued in the world of work? And what exactly does love mean in today's complex, fragmented world?

These are just some of the questions this week's guest, Helena Clayton, explores with host Elloa Barbour. Helena is a highly experienced coach, facilitator and consultant specialising in leadership development to help people and organisations change and grow. She works with various approaches including systems mapping, shadow work and a focus on love.

In this episode, Helena and Elloa discuss:

• Helena’s career story
• What successful consulting depends on
• The origin story for Helena’s research and work on love
• The ups and downs of the creative process
• What love looks like in the world today
• How can love be useful for this really complex, messy time
• How a significant loss influenced her work
• What is means to work in a systemic way
• What systemic constellations involve and why they’re useful (they're so good - check them out!)
