Create Boundaries, then Improvise
© Kathryn Chapman Photography
I deeply appreciate the amazing people I meet and get to learn from (and, I hope, sometimes contribute value to). As I often say, “people are my library”, so my writings are a curation and a sharing of what I have learned and continue to learn.
As a wonderful example, this week’s guest on WhatComesNextLive was Kathryn Chapman, photographer and innovator, creator of the amazing “Face to Face” process, a brave and transformative process for the photography subject. For more on this, watch the “face to face conversation” between Kathryn and Kay Scorah, herself also a past guest of mine.
In listening to Kathryn explain how she creates a space for her photography subjects to truly express themselves, she used a phrase which truly resonated with me:
Create Boundaries, then Improvise
This made my head spin with the elegant simplicity along with power of this statement.
in order to improvise in any space, we need to feel safe and supported, as well as empowered, skilled and equipped to do so.
This speaks so strongly to me about leadership and business in so many ways, a few of which I riffed on during the half hour conversation with Kathryn.
Let me riff on an example highlighted by a recent conversation.
