Darren and Nadine are both professional singers, entrepreneurs and Certified High Performance coaches and together they explore what it means to be a leader in a changing world - starting with leading yourself. Now in our second season, each half hour chat focuses on a different element of leadership, from Clarity to Commitment to Imposter Syndrome. So if you're an artist, a creative corporate or a change maker looking for new ideas, join us to get a blueprint for a more heart centred approach to getting things done. 


ABOUT US
We have been friends and collaborators for over a decade. We met as singers, trained together as High Performance Coaches and have been cheerleaders, supporters and truth tellers for each other as we create our own initiatives and projects. In 2021 we came together creatively for the first time to write and produce a new opera, BEAM, a story of one woman’s healing journey from trauma to leadership. These conversations have been informed by our many years of learning together and the experience of co-creation. With this podcast we’d love to invite you into that conversation with us.


Darren Abrahams is a therapist, coach, trainer and singer. Co-Founder of The Human Hive and the One World Orchestra, Wellbeing Advisor for Musicians Without Borders, board member of Opera Circus and co-creator of BEAM.

Whether it’s fear of failure, fear of exposing too much, or fear of not being good enough, the biggest challenge we have as Conscious Creative Leaders is to manage our fear and keep moving forward. In this wide-ranging conversation we ponder:</p><ul><li>How can we confront fear as leaders in a changing world?</li><li>Fear of loss</li><li>Recognising the emotional, mental and physical symptoms of fear</li><li>Creating safety <em>that doesn’t stifle expansion</em></li><li>Maintaining discipline and standards</li><li>Seeking greatness in service to others</li></ul><br/><p>This week’s questions for you are:</p><p>What holds you back?
