Series 2 Episode 4 – Al Booth

I ask my guests "what does the word creativity mean to you?".We talk about creative expression and creative thinking, and how those show up in business.In this episode I talk to Al Booth, who is a broadcaster, podcast producer and live event host.He tells me how he got started in radio and how that led to the combination of things he does now. We talk about creativity – having lots of ideas, ADHD, and why collaborating with other people is so important. Al also talks about oracy in schools and how that fits into his portfolio of work.Useful linksI'm a project manager and coach for creative thinkers - whether they are creative leaders in agencies or solo founders/freelancers.
