The pleasure is all ours.

Welcome back to Insights Unlocked.

In this episode, I'm joined by Natalie Nixon, creative strategist, author, and CEO of Figure Eight Thinking.

We dive into our framework from her new book, Move, Think, Rest, and explore how rethinking productivity can lead to more creativity, better collaboration, and stronger business results.

We also talk about burnout, intuition, and even how AI can be a creative partner.

Welcome to the show, Natalie.

Natalie, you've become well known for helping leaders rethink creativity and productivity, especially with your new book, Move, Think and Rest, which I believe you were just telling me that it was selected as one of the best productivity books for the year.

So congratulations for that.

Yeah.

And it's not the only praise your book has received.

Somebody needs to just type your name into a Google search and they'll see all the news articles about you and the book.

and kind of what you're talking about and what we'll be talking about today.

For listeners who may be meeting you for the first time, can you give us a quick snapshot of your journey and what led you to all this work?

I'm still thinking about the future of work as being jazz and that sort of improvisational nature of all that.

We're big jazz fans here at the house.

Oh, good.

I love that.
