And the unexpected projects that emerge when we create from joy

When I was 9 I remember writing in my school report that my favourite thing was coming up with my own ideas.

Today I’m celebrating the ideas that I have birthed into the world.

😂A one-off gig where I shared my comedy songs in public…

…turned into Rye Laughs — a monthly new material night running for 7 years with headliners such as Tom Allen, James Acaster and Phil Wang.

🎵A ukulele jam in my office in Vienna…

…turned into my business Power of Uke — running Leadership + Creativity workshops with 1000s of people, creating a methodology and training up a team of FaSILLYtators to work on Google Design Sprints and PwC Leadership retreats.

🌳A Sunday chat with a friend about how we could get people doing more creative writing…

…turned into Creative Retreats UK — four sold out retreats in a farmhouse in East Sussex and a buzzing community of people reconnecting with their creativity at London meet ups over two years.

🎤Harmonising with friends in a bar one night…

… led to Day of Musical Joy — regular singing meet-ups indoors and in the woods, many new medleys written, and a whole team of us getting paid to run singing workshops at Camp Wildfire this summer.

🌕A Whatsapp group created after 4 of us did a moon ceremony around the kitchen table…
