Be playful.
Live a creative life.
Dr Russya Connor
The Creative Philosopher
Hi, I am Dr Russya Connor,
they call me the Creative Philosopher.
I can’t help myself but I like to think and I like to play. I approach life’s challenges and key issues through a creative lens. I believe in responding to them in imaginative, playful, critical, and authentic ways.
Research and practice-led, and informed by my own experiences as a scholar, performer, therapist, and coach, I bring systemic, action based and creative approaches to my work that make people Think, Feel and Behave in a way that expands their potential for action.
I am committed to creativity and co-creation as a way of living, not just about honing a skill, demonstrating leadership or facilitating change; it’s about living a vibrant and creative life.If you’re ready to bring some serious playfulness into your work (or life?) and take your creativity and leadership skills to new heights, let’s embark on this exciting journey together.
