The Creative Edge: Expanding What’s Possible
Description
This week on The Intersection Podcast, we're joined by Michaela Ayers, a multidisciplinary artist and DEIA strategist who is redefining how creativity can be a catalyst for deeper connection and transformational learning in organizations. Michaela, the founder of Nourish Community, brings a wealth of experience designing community-centered, art-infused learning experiences that prioritize the body, storytelling, and imagination.
In this episode, we explore how somatic, interactive learning can foster real behavior change and discuss how “edutainment” can revolutionize DEIA programming. Michaela shares creative strategies for meaningful onboarding and post-training support, as well as the power of storytelling and collage in unlocking collective visioning. We also dive into the importance of play and imagination, especially during challenging times, and how these elements can be integrated into leadership to drive sustainable change.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation about expanding what’s possible in DEIA and leadership through creativity and play.
