Exploring leadership, curiosity and creativity with Fredrik Haren, a renowned global speaker, author, and creative explorer, to dive deep into the true nature and what it means to lead humanely in a technology-driven world. Fredrik shares insights from his latest book, The World of Creativity, based on his journey across 37 countries studying how creativity shows up across cultures. Rather than treating creativity as an output or talent, Fredrik reframes it as a personal journey of self-discovery, driven by curiosity and reflection. In this conversation, we explore why creativity is one of the most important skills for future leaders, how introversion and solitude can fuel powerful creativity, and Fredrik’s unique lifestyle of travelling the world and creating from his private island. He shares practical strategies to nurture creativity at work (including turning creative “outlets” into productive “inlets”) and why leaders should act more human in an increasingly automated world. Fredrik also reflects on his success as a speaker, his approach to leadership and parenting, and why continuous growth, not comfort, is his definition of success. This episode is a must-watch for leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about unlocking their creative potential and inspiring others by leading with humanity. #curiosityandcreativity #technology #FredrickHaren #WeCan ________________________________________________________________________ For any questions or inquiries regarding this video, please reach out to us @Wecan.Shecan 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and tell us who your favourite role model is? 👉 Connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wecan.shecan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shecan-world/
