Lead with Art: how Creativity transforms Leadership
Lead with Art: how Creativity transforms Leadership. Exploring the intersection of Art and Visionary Leadership.
Paris, 20 November 2025 – In a world where leadership is often defined by spreadsheets, KPIs, and quarterly targets, International Hub is redefining what it means to lead - through the lens of art. On November 20, 2025, to Galerie John Ferrère (18 Rue Dauphine, 75006 Paris) for our November #MONTHLYTALK: Lead with Art.
Art as a Leadership catalyst
Art isn’t merely decoration or inspiration, it’s a transformative force and we believe that true leadership thrives on connection, creativity, and courage. In an era of volatility and impermanence, the ability to see beyond the obvious, embrace ambiguity, and foster deep human connections is what sets visionary leaders apart.
This month, we’re exploring how artistic expression can break barriers, build trust, and drive meaningful change in leadership. Our featured exhibition, TOMBÉ DU CIEL by Olga du Saillant and Félix Cholet, is a groundbreaking fusion of handcrafted silver prints, sculptural frames, and surrealist poetry - a meditation on memory, erasure, and the tactile presence of impermanence. Over three years of dialogue and experimentation, the artists have created a non-linear, immersive journey that challenges traditional perceptions - much like the best leaders do.
Why Art matters in Leadership
- Breaking Barriers: Art encourages us to question assumptions, challenge norms, and think beyond boundaries - essential skills for leaders navigating complex, fast-changing environments.
- Building Trust: Creative expression fosters authenticity and vulnerability, the bedrock of trust in teams and organizations.
- Driving Change: Like art, leadership is about transformation. The ability to envision new possibilities and inspire others to embrace them is what turns challenges into triumphs.
Emma O’Quigley (Gallery Director) and John Ferrère (Gallery Owner) guide us through the exhibition, offering insights into how artistic vision can inform leadership practices; their perspectives will help us connect the dots between creativity and impactful leadership, showing how the principles of art - experimentation, resilience, and emotional resonance - can be applied to business and beyond.
This event is designed for leaders, aspiring leaders, and changemakers who want to:
✅ Unlock the power of creativity in their leadership style, turning volatility into opportunity.
✅ Connect with a global community of resilient, visionary women who are redefining what it means to lead.
✅ Experience art as a tool for transformation, gaining fresh perspectives on how to navigate impermanence and drive innovation.
In a world where adaptability and human connection are more critical than ever, Lead with Art offers a unique opportunity to explore how creativity can elevate leadership and impact.
At International Hub by PWN Paris, we’re committed to empowering women leaders to embrace creativity, resilience, and bold thinking.
Lead with Art is more than an exhibition, it’s a call to reimagine Leadership through the transformative power of Art.
