332 - From Corporate Slides to Human Connection with Emanuele Mazzanti
We are human beings, not human doings! So how did we find ourselves doing more, more, more, when all we’ve ever needed exists here within us?
Emanuele Mazzanti is here to remind us of this. As a facilitator alchemist for EY and an energy-giver at heart, he carves out space for authentic human experience, playfulness, and emotional depth, in a highly results-driven, corporate world.
His approach is simple: connection before content, curiosity before questions, and presence before perfection, as he shows leaders how to show up in new, deeply connecting ways.
So if you’re ready to swap the PPT for something that feels a little more personal, this one’s for you!
Find out about:
- How to make more space to just be, in a culture obsessed with doing
- How to foster emotional presence in corporate settings to enhance performance, decision-making and meaningful depth
- Resisting the facilitative urge to fill workshops with content, tools and structure
- And why real transformation comes from simple, stripped back, human moments
- The mindset leaders must nurture to show up with empathy and curiosity
