How Explicit Awareness Can Positively Impact Leadership with Alexis Niki

In this Candid Craic, we talk to Alexis Niki to learn about the differences between narratives and storytelling, and how an explicit awareness of both can positively impact leadership and organisational performance.

We explore the many dimensions of narrative intelligence, in which Alexis draws from her colorful, multicultural upbringing to explain how story became so central to her work. In doing so, we discover how and why she employs archetypes to free people from self-limiting narratives; learn why mind/body integration is central to high performance; and take in a deep dive into the necessity of developing an integrated character in a fragmenting world.

After a little side-step worrying about whether we are moving towards a dark and dystopian future, Alexis leaves us hopeful that a world populated with narratively intelligent people is a real possibility.
