Our latest interview is with Fabienne Jacquet, Disruptive Innovator, Speaker & Author: VENUS GENIUS. Founder of Innoveve.
A fascinating delve into the world of Research and Development and in particular the role feminine energy has to play when it comes to innovation. Fabienne sheds light on what has traditionally been a male dominated job role and explains how we can all (men and women!) benefit from tapping into our feminine traits…
We asked:
Q1. How do you define innovation – can you demystify it?
Q2. Your book is focussed on the feminine – so do you see innovation as gendered?
Q3. What could/should organisations be thinking about when considering the potential of the female market when it comes to R&D?
Q4. I am interested in IQ and EQ – what part does emotional intelligence and emotion play in innovation?
Q5. What advice would you give to a young woman entering the corporate world in the 2020’s?
Q6. Do you have a feminine success formula to share?! And assume this applies to men too?!
