#25 - Doing Less, Better: Melissa Swift on Real Work Effectiveness

Nigel sits down with Melissa Swift to untangle what really makes people and teams effective in a world drowning in meetings, notifications and shiny tools. Together they trace a path from the urgent scramble of modern work to quiet systems that deliver results: the fire‑fighter’s practiced rope, the ER doctor’s plan for interruptions and the consulting rituals that make good work repeatable. Through vivid examples and surprising research, Melissa shows how effectiveness is less about hustle and more about shaping the environment, choosing the right focuses and using technology as a tool - not a shortcut. Tune in to learn simple, repeatable changes that free you to do the few things that truly matter, and to perform when it counts. Melissa's book can be found on Amazon here.
