Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2112599/fan_mail/new] In a world that worships the goal-scorer, this week’s story is about the man who made the goals possible. As a Manchester United fan of 32 years, Bruno Fernandes breaking the all-time Premier League assists record didn’t just make me smile — it reinforced a belief I’ve held for a long time. That the most valuable person in any team is not always the most visible one. Watch this week’s story. This one’s for every team player who deserves to get the credit they often don’t.

Episode 157 - The Rose That Changed History - Florence Nightingale’s Data Revolution

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2112599/fan_mail/new] Is having data and sharing data enough to convince people to take action? Of course not. We need to help people see reality clearly enough that the right answer becomes obvious. While Data Storytelling is a very powerful way to do it, today's example from Tim Harford's book, ‘The Data Detective’, demonstrates an equally powerful and sometimes more powerful method. A story involving Florence Nightingale. But not the Florence Nightingale you think you know. Listen on.

Episode 156 – Power without Mastery – The AI Blind Spot?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2112599/fan_mail/new] Like many of you, I'm navigating two very different emotions about AI — the excitement of a kid in a candy store and the fear of someone standing at the edge of a cliff. And with every new release, both are intensifying. Many of us are racing to harness AI's power. But are we asking a harder question: do we know how to stop it if things go wrong? Then I came across two tales in the prologue of Yuval Noah Harari's new book, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI. Listen on… and tell me if you feel the same tension.

Episode 155 – No One Briefed The Gorilla – Prepare Then Let Go

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2112599/fan_mail/new] Yesterday, Sir David Attenborough turned one hundred years old. No one alive has done more to make ordinary people like me fall in love with the natural world. A man with a microphone and a camera crew and an extraordinary gift for telling stories that made you feel you were right there, in the rainforest, on the ocean floor, at the edge of the volcano. I have been thinking about what made him so different. And I keep coming back to one thing. It wasn’t just preparation. It wasn’t just passion. It was what he did when the moment stopped following the plan. Many leaders I work with are excellent at preparing. They craft their message, rehearse their delivery, anticipate the questions. And then something unexpected happens in the room. A question they didn’t see coming, a conversation that shifts direction, a moment that the agenda didn’t account for. And they freeze. Or worse, they ignore it and keep following the script. Today’s story is about one single afternoon in Sir David Attenborough’s life that became one of the most watched moments in television history. It nearly didn’t make it to air. And it holds, I think, two of the most important lessons a leader can carry into any meeting, presentation or conversation.
