Most job interviews are just friendly chats. They don’t provide any real due diligence.

Making the right hiring choice requires a lot more than résumés and reference checks. Even personality profiling has limited utility.

If you want to work out whether someone can actually do the job, you need to get good at interviewing.

Meetings can be a political minefield, and most leaders rely purely on their instinct to get by: which means they get it wrong more often than they realise.

This episode cuts through the noise on one of the most deceptively complex leadership skills: knowing when to talk and when to shut up. It sounds simple, but It isn't: and The Economist's "Babble Hypothesis" proves why getting the balance wrong can derail your career.

In this episode, I lay out a practical framework for two meeting scenarios that matter most: when you're in the chair, and when you're a participant in a room full of people more senior than you.

I also give you my take on three types of meeting disrupters (otherwise known as d!ckheads), and some killer lines to get them off their soapbox, without blowing up the whole meeting.

By the end, you'll have a clear, context-driven model for moving between listening and contributing, so that every time you open your mouth, it actually counts.

Leadership might be hard, but there’s nothing you can’t master with application and discipline. This is why the toughest challenge is often just convincing yourself to start.

In this Moment, I show you exactly how to overcome the comfort of inaction, and push yourself to do the things that will ultimately pay off.

I don’t care if you’re an introvert, or if you get anxiety… this is about realising your long-term career ambitions.

If you want to really get stuck into the psychology of taking that first small step to mastery, have a listen to Ep.337: How To Do Hard Things
