Have you ever experienced that exhilarating spark of creativity that elevates your mood instantaneously? – In today's episode we explore this fascinating interplay between creativity and the pursuit of Joy with our esteemed guest, Catia Fonseca.
An incredible human and a global design leader, Catia embodies the essence of human-centered design, always seeking ways in which creativity can help craft solutions that prioritize well-being. Her remarkable contributions, especially at F. Hoffmann-La Roche, a Swiss pharmaceutical leader, stand testament to her unwavering commitment to this cause.
Lots of practical wisdom today! Arts and Design have played a pivotal role in unlocking my creativity too, to help me arrive at a place of Joy, tap into parts of the brain to find innovative ways to solve big challenges, cultivate empathetic leadership, and just relish the beauty of life with an ever-present sense of curiosity and playfulness. It's my earnest hope that today's discussion illuminates a similar path for you.
In our heartfelt conversation we’re exploring:
· What sets Joy apart from Happiness? How the two emotions compare and contrast.
· We journey back in time, drawing inspiration from the iconic Matisse, understanding his masterpieces in the light of joy.
· We fast-forward to the present to demystify the process of designing for joy in the fast-paced landscape of the Web3 era across personal and professional spheres.
· We explore the delicate balance of joy and vulnerability, shedding light on the importance of emotional authenticity.
· Then, recognizing that not every day can be joyous, what can you do to navigate days marked by low energy.
