Episodes

  1. Raj Sisodia explores his journey to Awaken, finding purpose and making a global impact

    What makes you who you are? I know that’s a huge, complex question. However, if you think about it – there would have been a few pivotal moments, relationships and possibly conversations that set you on the path you’re on today. Beyond the path, those moments would have also laid the wiring for…

  2. Kemi Nekvapil on the true meaning of power and how to live and lead without apology

    When you hear the word ‘power’, what first springs to mind? Do you immediately think of its absence, the moments you felt ‘power-less’ – or the moments you showed up as the fullest version of yourself? Is ‘power’ a word or sensation that feels like it belongs to you? Or is it a word that usually...

  3. Phill Nosworthy on clarity, redefining imposter syndrome and moving at the speed of wisdom

    Hands up who’s busy? Busy with work, life, kids, family, businesses, side hustles, resting (now when did that become a task) and everything in between. The reason many of us are so busy, constantly moving and thinking at 100mph is I believe, in its most positive sense, because we want to get it...

  4. Paul Zak returns to unpack the science of Immersion and how to cultivate happiness

    Do you struggle to immerse yourself in something (anything) without a buzz, ding or vibration pulling you out of your train of thought?

  5. Michael McQueen on why we are MindStuck and mastering the art of changing minds

    Would you consider yourself to be stubborn? Do you bristle at the thought of change and dig your heels in even when presented with undeniable logic? For most of us our instinct is to probably answer ‘no’ to that question. It’s everyone else that’s stubborn right? It’s the people on the internet…

  6. Lisa Bragg on purposeful self promotion, loosing the fear and the power of picking yourself

    How do you feel about the word ‘bragging’? Does it make you squirm and immediately want to bolt away from the spotlight – or excited about an opportunity to share your success? When a colleague, friend or co-worker starts to say things that sound like bragging - does it rub you up the wrong way?…

  7. Todd Herman on the Alter Ego Effect, defeating the enemy and unlocking your heroic self

    Do you have an Alter Ego? A side of yourself, with a whole different set of traits and strengths, that you can quickly access to give yourself the edge? Usually when we hear the term ‘Alter Ego’ we think of Peter Parker and Spider Man, Diana Prince and Wonder Woman, Clarke Kent and Superman. The...

  12. Donna Griffit on becoming pitch perfect, owning your origin story and nailing the 'quick pitch'

    Are you pitch perfect? We all understand the power of the ‘pitch’ – whether it’s for investment, a new career defining opportunity or that game changing client. These are the 7 to 14 minute long ‘sliding door’ moments that define whether we take our influence to the next level. However, once…

  13. Jeremy Connell-Waite decodes how to change the world through purpose driven storytelling

    Today’s question is the holy grail of influence.

  14. Allan Parker on staying calm, communicating with presence and mastering your state

    How do you communicate from a place of stillness and calm regardless of what’s happening around you? We all know the situations that tend to set off our body’s alarm system. It could be a fight with our partner, the same old conversation with a member of our team - or getting up in front of a…

    What does it take to own your voice when everything is on the line - and the entire world is watching?

  17. Dr Kristy Goodwin on taming the tech, setting boundaries and thriving in a digital world

    Which of these has more influence over your day. Your priorities, focus and close relationships – or the demands and temptations of your digital device? Maybe it’s a hard question to answer, maybe it’s easy. Maybe you like the answer, maybe you don’t. Either way, if influence requires focus, then...

  18. George Dawes Green on The Moth and the art and power of sharing our stories

    What makes a powerful storyteller? Those able to tell a story that - whether it’s from a porch, a stage, a bar or an auditorium - can literally change the fabric of the air around you. Those able to, from their first breath, plunge us into a world completely different from our own. Yet still…

  19. AJ Jacobs on facing life's challenges with curiosity, grit and a Puzzler mindset

    Why is developing a ‘puzzle mindset’ the key to influence? A few years ago, I developed a bit of an obsession. It started out as innocent and then became an addiction that, like all addictions, began to expand into more and more corners of my life. That obsession was with the world of puzzling....

  20. Jane Adshead-Grant - The profound impact of becoming a better listener

    How do we become powerful listeners? Listening is probably one of the most underestimated tools of influence. Think for a moment about the leaders that have had the most impact on you. The people who have changed your mind or perspective. Those who made you feel heard and therefore valued in…

  21. Ben Jones is back to talk AI, the 4 hour advert and The Third Era of Marketing

    What’s the future of storytelling? Before you try to answer this question, consider these facts.

Short story platforms (Tik Tok, Snapchat,...

  23. Erik Qualman on standing out, The Focus Project and the (not so) simple art of doing less

    What’s holding you back from focus right now? Most of us started this year with (hopefully) some clarity on what we want to set in motion. Goals we want to kick, freedom we want to create, impact and influence we want to build. Yet what if I told you that the key to achieving any of those...

  24. Christine McKay - Why not ask? How to negotiate and get more without the battle

    How do you feel about the word negotiation? When most people hear the term negotiation, they usually think of tense conversations, fighting for what you deserve and a battlefield mindset.

  25. Cody Keenan - Obama's speech writer and ten days in the battle for America

    Now, here's today's question. If you had to pick the most pivotal 10 days of your career, what would they be?

  32. The Great Reset - Julie reflects on 2022, her sabbatical and what makes a great interview

    Today's episode is a little bit different to normal programming. Today's episode is just me.

  33. Bobette Buster - How to tell your story so the world listens

    Why are stories so important? I talk a lot about storytelling on this podcast, but let’s for a second explore the word itself. I like to think about stories as gifts.

  34. Gay Hendricks - The Big Leap - Finding Your Zone of Genius

    Every so often I speak to someone that has changed things so fundamentally for me, that I can literally mark it as a day in the calendar. Today is one of those conversations.

  35. Devin Marks - Decoding the breakaway TED Talk: How to create an idea worth sharing

    What makes a breakaway TED Talk? If there’s one phenomenon in the world of storytelling that’s been impossible to ignore over the last decade. It’s this one. The TED Talk.

  36. Emily McDowell - Standing in the unknown and showing up when it's hard

    What do you say when you don’t know what to say? So much of influence is sold as having the right words, at the right time. Words that get the outcome you want. Words that match your intention – words that result in exactly how you want the other party to feel. Words that, hopefully, support...

  37. Jon Levy - You're invited: The art of influence, connection and belonging

    How influential is your personal network? You know I love a multi-layered question and this one comes in two parts. Firstly, how well does your current network, the current galaxy of people you orbit around (and who orbit around you) reflect the habits, influence, achievements you want to create?...

  38. Holly Ransom - Living at the leading edge: How to lead when it counts and start before you're ready

    Today's question is a big one for many of us this year, as we emerge from let's call it an ‘intense’ period of time – and into a new work and life landscape that’s being written as we live it. So here’s today’s question – how do you lead from the edge? I love this question because it has so many...

  39. Jeff Immelt - The Hotseat: Leading GE through controversy and crisis

    What does it take to face your critics? I mean squarely, unflinchingly – with full self-responsibility. However, and this part is all important, still willing to defend yourself when it counts? Responsibility is an interesting word. I always understood it to mean ‘the ability to respond’. Taking...

  40. Vanessa Bohns - You have more influence than you think: How to get to yes and learn to say no

    Have you ever felt invisible or inarticulate - especially when it comes to asking for what you want?

  46. Julia Dhar - How to disagree productively: The lost art of constructive conversations

    How good are you at changing your mind? It’s not a question we tend to ask ourselves often. I once interviewed a political strategist from Washington, who mentioned that practically no resources are spent trying to ‘convert’ voters from one political party to the next. That there was simply no...

  47. Raj Sisodia - The Era of Conscious Capitalism: The power of business to heal the planet

    Have you ever felt alone in seeing a problem?

That’s how my guest today felt, from a very young age, about one of the most...

  48. Elizabeth Lesser - The Power of the Phoenix Process: How to turn to face what needs to change

    What in your life is trying to break open right now? One of the most sacred parts of my work as a consultant and coach is that I get to see ‘behind the scenes’ in what it actually takes to build influence. The success, the moments of inspiration - when nothing can hold you back - to the painful...

  49. Colin Boyd - Decoding your signature story: How to convert attention into action every time

    Here is today's question - what’s your signature story? The story that you know works every time. That when you tell it in a pitch you can feel the room you’re speaking to start to SHIFT. A shift from logically thinking about the transformation or change or you’re trying to describe to actually...

  50. Ben Jones - The UnSkippable Future of Storytelling: How to cut through when the rules have changed

    Here is today’s question - what is pink noise? We’ve all heard about white noise. That being the words, phrases, stories and marketing messages in your space that sound EXACTLY the same as everyone else. The tidal wave of noise that’s easy to get lost within. Let’s call it the elevator music of...
