Description
Unlock creativity. Expand perspective. Lead with greater awareness.
Leadership today requires more than analytical expertise and operational skills. It requires the ability to perceive new possibilities, navigate ambiguity, connect with others, and inspire innovation.
Art-Based Leadership uses artistic experiences as a powerful pathway to develop leadership capabilities. By engaging with visual arts, movement, storytelling, and creative practices, participants explore new ways of thinking, strengthen self-awareness, and develop the cognitive flexibility needed to lead in complex environments.
Grounded in creativity research, neuroscience-informed approaches, and experiential learning, this programme invites leaders to step beyond conventional problem-solving and access different modes of perception, reflection, and expression.
Through carefully designed artistic experiences and guided reflection, participants explore how creativity, intuition, emotions, and embodied awareness can enhance leadership presence, decision-making, communication, and innovation.
The programme can include:
- Guided encounters with visual art and creative expression
- Reflective observation and meaning-making exercises
- Creative problem-solving activities
- Storytelling and metaphor-based leadership exploration
- Embodied practices integrating movement and presence
- Guided journaling and coaching conversations
Each experience is tailored to your organisation's objectives and can focus on themes such as innovation, leadership presence, strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, change, or team connection.

About the Host
I am Eulalia Codipietro, a neuroscience-informed coach and human-centered consultant working at the intersection of leadership, human transformation, creativity, sustainable performance and organisational culture.
As the founder of MoveToJoy, I bring together more than 20 years of experience in finance, consulting, and organisational transformation with expertise in coaching, emotional intelligence, resilience, and creative intelligence. Having worked within complex corporate environments, I understand the challenges leaders and organisations face when balancing performance, change, and human potential.
Throughout my professional journey, I have collaborated across diverse international cultures, including Japanese, Canadian, British, American, French, Belgian, and Swiss business environments. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how cultural values, communication styles, leadership expectations, and ways of working influence collaboration, trust, and organisational effectiveness.
I help leaders and organisations unlock sustainable human performance through leadership, cultural intelligence, neuroscience, and creativity. To this extent, my mission is to help leaders, teams, and organisations transform pressure into clarity, confidence, and meaningful impact. Through an integrated approach combining neuroscience, coaching, cultural intelligence, and cross-disciplinary thinking, I support people in developing greater self-awareness, adaptability, collaboration, and sustainable high performance.
I am recognised for my ability to connect different fields of expertise and “see what others miss”—bringing together strategic thinking, human insight, cultural awareness, and creative perspectives to unlock new possibilities.
My work is guided by the 5E Framework to Excellence (Enjoy, Empower, Express, Engage, Expand), a structured methodology designed to support personal growth, leadership development, and organisational transformation. It is enriched by my lifelong engagement with the arts, which I use as a powerful pathway to foster creativity, cognitive flexibility, innovation, and flow.
Alongside my professional journey, I am a semi-professional Argentine tango dancer, visual artist, and writer. My creative work has been recognised internationally, including distinctions from the Luxembourg Art Prize (2025) and the International Brera Art Prize (2026), and my contribution as a co-author of Unlocking Success, a best-selling book published in 2025.
I believe organisations do not need to choose between performance and well-being. When people are aligned, engaged, and empowered, performance and human flourishing reinforce each other—creating cultures where individuals and organisations can thrive together.
