HOW TO AVOID YOUR NEXT PUBLIC SPEAKING MELTDOWN

A few years ago Samsung paid Hollywood director Michael Bay to speak at one of their events. The presentation was a catastrophe. In this video we break down what went wrong. We then share a practical strategy you can use to never find yourself in this situation. A strategy Ricky Gervais uses every time he performs his stand up comedy.

HOW LEADERS CAN INFLUENCE EFFORTLESSLY

A leader delivers a compelling presentation. A finance professional is persuasive in a meeting. In both cases the audience says “Let’s do it!” And then, with time, nothing happens. The audience takes no action. Why? That’s what we explore in our latest video.

HOW LEADERS AND TEAMS CAN THRIVE IN ADVERSITY

Adversity is inevitable. The key differentiator for leaders and teams is how they respond. Do they crumble under pressure? Do they get stressed? Or do they rise to the occasion and show up as their very best selves? In this video Michelle Rushton explores how leaders & teams can thrive in adversity by adopting an Antifragile Mindset.

HOW TO HAVE UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE AT WORK

Have you ever met or worked with one of those people who appear to have a deep, unshakeable confidence? This quality gives them tremendous power in the world because people are drawn to it. They are the sort of leader people follow. In this video Michelle Rushton explores how to have unshakeable confidence by applying a concept we call The Prizing Principle.

HOW TO END THE YEAR STRONG IF YOUR TEAM IS EXHAUSTED

For over a decade we’ve been consulting with clients, working closely with teams and leaders, and we’ve never seen such a pervasive feeling of exhaustion as we are seeing in late 2021. One of the risks you face if you lead a team, is that your people will re-consider their employment over the Christmas break (maybe this will be you!). Shaun Kenny explores how you can end the year so that people actually want to return! P.S. Did they all come back?

WHY YOUR JOB AS A LEADER IS TO BE LIKED

Many leaders will say “leadership is not a popularity contest”. But then they make the jump to claim “it doesn’t matter if people like you as their leader”. We humbly disagree. In this video Shaun Kenny presents evidence to support this perspective. You may disagree with this one. Many leaders do. We just hope you still like us anyway!

TWO STEPS TO CHANGE TEAM CULTURE

Your team’s culture can make or break the results the team achieves. For better or worse, your team’s culture (its behavioural norms or embedded patterns of behaviour) is very sticky. Change is possible though. In this video Michelle Rushton shows how, by elaborating on the famous Monkeys on the Ladder Experiment.

HOW TO INFLUENCE OTHERS (NO ONE IS DOING THIS)

There is a simple yet profound strategy for influencing others that leaders in the workplace rarely use. We learned this approach from studying advertising campaigns for wrist watches. We noticed almost all watch ads used the same formula, except for one brand. Their approach is entirely different, incredibly powerful and simple to use. Shaun Kenny reveals what the strategy is.

MR BEAST: HOW HE LEADS 100 MILLION FOLLOWERS

USING JARGON MAY BE CAREER-LIMITING FOR YOU

Have you noticed that some people really hate corporate buzzwords and business jargon? Maybe you are one of these people. In this video Michelle Rushton explores if using corporate jargon is actually a problem. New research shows that using corporate jargon actually reveals something rather deep about you as a person and may be holding you back in your career.

HE TOLD EVERYONE HIS BUSINESS WOULD FAIL

Jeff Bezos predicted that his business would fail. He told this to everyone, including potential investors. They still gave him their money. Why? That’s what we answer in this video. We also touch on two powerful concepts: the difference between Epistemic Confidence and Social Confidence.

DON’T START WITH WHY. APOLOGIES SIMON SINEK!

Do you ever struggle with creating a message that cuts through? That engages and motivates others to take action? One piece of advice is to ‘Start with Why’. In this video Shaun Kenny suggests an alternative. He shares the story of how Satya Nadella (as Microsoft’s new CEO in 2014) did an incredible job of re-engaging, aligning and inspiring his colleagues globally.

WHY LEADERS FAIL AT BEHAVIOUR CHANGE

Behaviour change is hard, particularly if you want to change behaviour at scale, across an organisation. Most attempts to do this fail. Why is this? Michelle Rushton gives her nuanced answer. By the way, the guy in this thumbnail is the saddest person we’ve ever seen. And why is his calculator so large?

THE #1 BARRIER TO LEADERS INNOVATING

Effective leaders innovate, but there is an obstacle getting in the way of innovation that we are seeing now in workplaces more than ever before. Overcoming this obstacle is simple, but it is far from easy. Join Shaun Kenny and his close friends Isaac Newton and Archimedes to discover how.

WHY LEADERS NEED TO BE CORPORATE ATHLETES

With so much talk about employee wellbeing, burn out, the blurred line between work/home, it’s challenging for leaders to know whether to push for better results or take the foot off the accelerator. What we need is to help our people (and ourselves) become Corporate Athletes. Michelle Rushton shares what that is in this video.

3 RULES OF INFLUENCE GREAT LEADERS KNOW

There are great people who have created messages that have lasted for generations, and if we can deconstruct their method we may be able to recreate their magic. In this video, Shaun Kenny deconstructs arguably the greatest speech in the history of Western civilisation to reveal three rules of influence we can all implement immediately.
