The Art of Playful Leadership: Capoeira’s Path to Empowering Teams
In a recent episode of “Be & Think in the House of Trust” podcast, I am evoking the Art of Playful Leadership.
Our guest, Guido Heijmans, also known as Mestre Salsicha, is a Dutch Capoeira master with 30 years of experience.
Guido takes us through the valuable lessons the Brazilian Martial Arts Capoeira teaches about trust, collaboration, personal and collective flourishing, and play.
You’ll see immediately how we can transfer this into teams and organisations.
Here’s a tiny extract!
What capoeira teaches us:
🥥 Capoeira’s vibrant mix of music, movement, philosophy and martial arts makes self-expression and curiosity flourish
🇧🇷 It promotes deep connections and individuality
⭐ It helps you cultivate your intuition through Malandragem and Malicia ( Being cunning & smart!).
🎊 You adapt through play, grow awareness, and learn to navigate complex social environments
💫 It shows us how to stay calm and present in the chaos and unlocks creativity and ease in the face of unexpected outcomes
👭 Capoeira breaks societal stereotypes, and promotes empowerment and inclusivity.
💫 You learn to be more “yourself”. With practice, you drop the performative act and liberate yourself.
I hope you enjoy this new conversation in the House of Trust!
