Cultivating Diversity

Meet my creative alter ego, Lalie Dipietro

Creativity is the th​ird "C" of my essence, together with Consulting and Coaching. It plays an important role in my life, and in my work. Through creativity I enjoy the benefit of finding innovative ideas, looking for new ways of associating unrelated elements and providing unconventional solutions.

​

Argentine Tango Dancer. A childhood dream, with which I reconnected in the last five years, this dance is one of the most complex in the world, due to its improvisation technique. 

I train with world-level tango maestro and started attending competitions with an intent of defying my limits and pushing my boundaries. Training for this dance requires functional training, running and cycling, activities during which I enjoy reflecting on personal or professional challenges, and come up with new ideas and insights.

Movement has demonstrated by neuroscience to activate the body and mind and to get out of fear reactions, rather cultivating presence in the moment with swift decision making.

​

Fiction writer. I started reading and writing before going to school. Writing was an extension of drawing, and plunging in the fantasy world enable at the same time developing imagination, find relief to personal challenges and developing a structured line of thought with a resilient mind. 

In order to better connect with fictional characters and work with emotions I have attended acting seminars for Method, Tcheckov and Meisner technique.

Science has demonstrated that imagination is a key skill in innovative thinking, in mind programming through visualisation. Writing anchors imagination with a greater level of programming.​

Watercolour and drawing. I am a self-thaught drawer and portraitist. I started drawing at 4 years-old, and around ten years ago I took some watercolour classes. As much as Argentine Tango, watercolour requires presence in the moment, allowance for "mistakes" (i.e. unplanned events) and integration of these latter in the overall painting. It is a meditative practice, that reconnects me from within and allows a pure state of flow.

In tango as much as in watercolour and drawing, experiencing the states of flow enables my mind to connect across multiple layers. This state is channeled through a sense of peace and satisfaction, similar to joy. Science has recognised that joy is able to activate multiple parts of the brain at once, and even re-direct the amigdala, which is the core area associated with fear generation.

​

Music and singing. Whether dancing, writing, drawing or painting, music plays a pivotal role. I am often told I possess an harmonious voice.

I trained in singing for three years, starting in 2010 and continued practicing to date. 

The act of singing is like breathing with playing your voice as an instrument. Breathing is recognised for its powerful benefits on heart and brain coherence.
