On S5E5 of the @MAGICademy Podcast we welcome Dr. Britt Andreata to the show! She is a thought leader and expert in brain science, leadership, and education, with experience developing brain science-based training programs for organizational effectiveness and personal growth. We had a great conversation about emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and how those concepts positively influence the workplace environment, as emotionally skilled leaders can empower themselves and talents more efficiently and magically.

Dr Britt is the CEO of Brain Aware Training, which focuses on applying neuroscience to improve workplace learning and development. In this episode, we dive deeper into empathy and psychological safety, what happens in the brain while emotional intelligence works, and the huge impact it can have on organizations to train their workforce to be emotionally skilled.

Welcome once again to the @MAGICademy Podcast! On S5E3 we give a warm welcome to Jelena Aleksich to the show. She is a creative entrepreneur, visual storyteller, and founder of The Confetti Project, which began as a photography challenge in her bedroom and now has evolved into a global mental health storytelling platform. We talk about our playfulness and how it’s often something that we ignore but it ends up being vital for us to have a healthy and balanced adult life.

Like many entrepreneurs, Jelena had a completely different background from what she ended up doing, starting as a psychology student and then pivoting to follow a more creative path. In this episode, we explore this pivot and the motivations behind it, the playful mindset and how to cultivate it, mental health and Jelena’s answer to the issue, and much more!

💕 #MAGICademy S3E6, we had the great pleasure of meeting @Kouji Miki, founder of @Zen 2.0 to discover how Zenful meditation helps clear mental clutter to foster deep awareness, creativity, and true innovation by encouraging focused non-judgmental thinking. We'll also dive into how revisiting childhood memories helps uncover our innate passions and talents, guiding us toward a more authentic purpose, or Ikigai.

MAGICademy S3E5, Ryan Laverty, co-founder of Arist, discusses the potentially transformative impact of micro-learning on organizational behavior change and culture shifts. He also highlights the importance of nurturing curiosity and childlike wonder in the process of skill development.

 #MAGICademy S3E3, we had the pleasure to meet @Thomas De Bruyne, an explorer in the emerging space between leadership development, virtual realities, and biometrics. He discusses how virtual reality & biometrics can radically shift and expand perspectives while biometrics measure such transformation through data of heart, mind, and body, enabling us to develop a deep sense of inner connection and resilience. Thomas also emphasizes the importance of psychological safety in creating a supportive and inclusive work environment. Thomas also highlights the role of curiosity and childlike wonder in fostering creativity and innovation.

#MAGICademy S3E1, we had the great pleasure of meeting @Remy Meraz and @Julian Lewis, founders of Zella Life, a cultural shift engine with a mission to democratize coaching for underserved middle managers and create a paradigm shift within existing organizational systems. Our discussion revolves around creating psychological safety, fostering curiosity and childlike wonder, and promoting a culture of “playaholics” (trust me it is much more fun than workaholics).
