What happens when you have a podcast conversation about creativity and improvisation?
Talking with Susan Zheng on her podcast This Improvised Life an idea emerged from our conversation around Artful Inquiry and Embodied Leadership and, as all good improvisers do, we decided to ‘yes, and’ the idea (we accepted the possibility of the idea rather than the challenges).
What happens in a coaching session?

Being a creature of habit can be wonderfully efficient. But it can also narrow our perspective.
Some ideas arrive fully formed and ready to go. Others hover for a while; you can feel them, sense them, but you can’t quite pin down the detail. It’s a sort of pre-verbal knowing when an idea has already taken shape inside you, but it hasn’t yet found its voice.
It’s also like seeing something through a soft curtain. The essence is there, even if the edges are still coming into focus. I’ve started thinking of these moments between people as Diaphanous Conversations, and they’re worth paying attention to.
