Nobody is born a leader. Yet we seem to believe that there is a set of skills that will turn us into leadership perfection. Aga doesn't believe that one bit. This is why she wrote the book "Leadership by Design". It is a 12-week course in designing your personal leadership practice. In this bonus episode, łukasz asks Aga about the reasons for writing such a book in the first place and about the change a book like this can inflict on the life of a leader.LINKS"Leadership by Design" on Amazon"Leadership by Design" at BIS Publishers"The Artist Way" by Julia CameronThe book illustrator Weronika Marianna's websiteA conversation with Phillip Collins on CTNW

S11.E10. Aga & Łukasz Szóstek. OUTRO. Do It Your Own Way!
Season 11 of the Catching The Next Wave podcast was about doing. But, it turned out that doing is not just about putting something into the world, it is a much more nuanced concept to ponder including aspects like curiosity, open-mindedness, accountability, and much more. We started by distinguishing between thinking and doing only to arrive at a conclusion that one is impossible without the other. We hope you will enjoy that season much as we did.LINKS“Obliquity” by John Kay

S11.E9. Andrew Lacanienta. Standing In Your Truth.
So many of us are afraid to be different and stand out of the pack. Our guest, Andrew Lacanienta, a senior strategist at George P Johnson Experience Marketing, thrives when he can share his uniqueness with others as long as what he does is truthful to himself. Andrew holds a PhD in Experience Design so we just couldn’t avoid the topics of experience and transformational design, however, we tackle them from both the personal and the business context. We also talk about the importance of embodied experience that makes us connect between our minds and hearts.LINKS“Designing Experiences” by Robert Rossman and Mat Duerden“Deep Work” by Cal Newport“The Anatomy of Peace” by The Arbinger Institute
