What happens when you combine a theatre director, teacher and facilitator with a passion for ‘ideas at the edge’?

Say ‘hi’ to Frank Newman, who takes us on a fascinating journey from grassroots activism to the world of theatre and education. Along the way, he unpacks the powerful connections between creativity and business, making the case for valuing process over product in creative work.

Frank challenges us to confront unconscious biases that can limit innovation and explains why careful observation is key to truly understanding creativity. He also delves into transdisciplinary learning and how creative leadership can shape more dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking organisations.

Get ready for insights about emergent vs connective creativity and also the creative power of reflection.  Whether you're a seasoned creative or just starting out, Frank offers practical insights and everyday strategies to help you tap into your creative potential.

The Common Creative - But Never Ordinary A podcast series with Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith
The worlds of business, home and play are all starved of creativity.  From an early age, we’re taught how to analyse, critique and simplify but the tools for exploring, ideating and creating are assumed to be instinctive.  The Common Creative is all about bringing creativity back into everyday life - understanding the essence of creativity and making creativity a common as a loaf of bread and as well understood as a common language.
Hosts Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith are both creative thought-leaders and have been bonded by a common passion for creating and sharing something new and inspiring every day. Paul paints a watercolour of the household object and posts the image on IG “@everythink”, Chris photographs the same beach each and every day and posts the image on IG “@thisisbalmoral”
By day, Paul Fairweather is a Brisbane-based, speaker, author,  mentor,  architect and artist. Chris Meredith is a Sydney-based, business coach, innovation consultant, and award-winning photo-artist.
Each podcast explores a different aspect of creativity. Recent topics have included: Energy, Time, Constraints and even the Impact of Covid-19 (why not?!) 
The podcasts are ideal for anyone looking to get out of a rut and deliver stuff that goes beyond the norm.
Join us for our conversations and surprising guests to unlock your own creativity.
