Clowning around with Emma Stroud
Join Em Stroud and her clown Barbara as they chat all Seriously Playful Creativity with Dr Cathryn Lloyd. How can we all be creative beings in the world of work and life? What can business leaders take from creative practitioners? How can five minutes of creativity change your day? How is Barbara creative without even realising it? What can creativity do for all of us to have more joy and happiness? And much much more..
Cathryn Lloyd talks to the IQ meets EQ Podcasters and the discussion turns to creativity and the benefit of using the whole brain. Cathryn realised that creativity and art could be used as a central methodology to solve complex business problems and inspire innovation within teams.
She has spent much of the COVID-19 lockdown period engaged in several online business collaborations, preparing to write the second instalment of The Story Cookbook, and embracing her artistic creativity.
She was named as a Finalist in the 2020 Letheridge Small Scale Art Award for her submission “There was a sense of peace”.
Cathryn’s fervent hope is that business does not ‘snap back’ into the previous incarnation of itself, and that collectively we embrace and embed the positive changes in the way we work and live, which have been fostered in response to the global pandemic, to create a better future.
Lessons from converting and facilitating courses online
In the five and a half months since COVID-19 hit learning teams around the world have grappled with converting courses designed for classroom facilitation to live online facilitation. Early in the pandemic the Australian Institute of Training Development (AITD) decided to six courses. Jennifer Waltmon, the AITD’s Programs and Content Manager, joins this episode alongside two of the conversion team members, Dr Cathryn Lloyd and Chemene Sinson. They reflect on the experience of converting so many courses simultaneously, the parallels and differences between designing courses for face to face versus online delivery, and what they’ve learned about facilitating effective online learning experiences.

Cathryn was recently a guest on the Innovabuzz Podcast with Jurgen Strauss. In this podcast, Cathryn and Jurgen talk about:
- The intersection between the Arts and Business
- Harnessing creativity
- Building creative leadership in organisations and in communities
Cathryn answers the Buzz – Innovation round. Listen to the interview to get the full scoop.
- #1 thing to be more innovative – Having a culture of innovation and the ability to experiment without fear of failure.
- Best thing for new ideas – Relying on your intuition.
- Favourite tool for innovation – Images, models, Kanban boards, sticky notes, “Renovator’s Delight” framework by Jason Clarke
- Keep project / client on track – Being accountable. Be mindful of whose responsibility it is and be clear on that.
- Differentiate – We are all different and unique. What attracts us, what we notice and the experiences we have, all become a part of the package of who we are. When you understand what it is, you can curate that in a way that is useful and unique.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- How ‘being’, ‘doing’ and ‘reflecting’ help grow your skills and experience as a facilitator
- Techniques on how to help create a shared group environment (and why it’s important to understand that each group has their own energy)
- Why it’s important to be sensitive to the environment, and how you can gauge the environment by using questions
- Key questions to ask when you reflect on your practice at the end of a workshop
- Why being creative helps you become a better leader (and facilitator!)

Femeconomy Interview
“FutureNet engaged Cathryn as a guest speaker for ‘The Evolution of the Young Professional’event held in Brisbane recently. Cathryn came highly recommended via a number of colleagues who had attended her Maverick Minds creative development workshop and she certainly did not disappoint. Cathryn’s presentation ‘Survive and Thrive; Creative Resilience and Creative Leadership’ was well received by the audience, as they were captivated by her passion for the creative mind. Cathryn enthusiastically interacted with the crowd; provoking thoughts, opinions and successfully facilitating several group discussions throughout her presentation.
It was a pleasure to watch Cathryn conduct the room with her passionate and professional mastery and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Michael Lawlor, Associate Architect, Thomson Adsett/Future Net
“I have have had the privilege of participating in a workshop lead by Cathryn. It is impossible to articulate exactly what made the experience so great, however here are some things that Cathryn made remarkable. Firstly, she created a sense of purpose and focus that produced an exceptional level of engagement. Cathryn created a cohesive framework that invited adventure, provoked thoughtful exploration, and made space for the unexpected. The result was a fun and inspired sharing of ideas to a level no-one could have expected at the onset. Cathryn is a visionary with a wonderful ability to engage people in soulful questioning that gently guides them through the unpacking and exploration of powerful ideas. Her unique approach is like an infusion of light and oxygen that recharges, inspires and unites people.”
