Kerning the gap is the network for equality within the creative industry. In this podcast Natalie Maher, founder of KTG, invited me to talk about the many ways to lead and how to find your own way. Enjoy it and pass it around if you did.
Creating meaningful experiences that shift the way we think, feel and, ultimately, are – in relationship with ourselves, others and the circumstances in our life and work – is at the heart of my practice.
I help individuals design the life and/or career they want; I support teams to become stronger, more aligned and high performing; I consult with organisations to foster human-centred cultures.
From change, transition or conflict, we work together to unlock innate creative leadership and make something entirely new.
Before establishing Namah & Partners and becoming a professional coach and cultural consultant, I led and co-owned an award-winning branding design firm in New York City (Managing Partner and Head of Strategy) for 13 years. I worked internationally, helping organisations evolve by creating compelling brand strategies that transformed their identities and propelled them into the future.
I learned that the intellect has its merits as well as its limits, and to evoke authentic and sustainable change, we need to dig much deeper and tap into other, equally powerful resources: the creative, intuitive and emotional. I find working with what is beneath the surface very rewarding; listening deeply to the unspoken and invisible to reveal unconscious and hidden dynamics.
At Namah & Partners, my approach draws from several disciplines: applied positive psychology, neuroscience, co-active coaching, organisations relationships systems coaching, leadership development and mediation among others. What began as personal interests and studies have become professional qualifications, and are the tools that enable me to offer highly personalised, adaptable and inclusive journeys towards intentional change for my clients.
My clientele span a variety of industries and sectors, from startups to large corporations and NGO.
Recent clients and collaborations include: Google Creative Lab, Marimo, United, Created Academy, Turn2US, D&AD, DBA, AIGA, Rizzoli, Adobe Systems, Pentagram Design, Bacardi, Gagosian Gallery, Warburg, Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, Kartell, Victoria’s Secret, Shinsegae, Target, Remy Cointreau, Plan Do See and Benefit Cosmetics.
