Picture this: you've just finished an incredibly important presentation. It was dense with crucial information… And you absolutely nailed it. At the end, one of your colleagues wants to give you some feedback. You thrive on constructive criticism, and welcome the chance to learn. But all he says is: your outfit is too distracting. Your dress is so sparkly it made it difficult to concentrate. How do you react? Most of us would blow a gasket - to hear something so overtly sexist and inappropriate would send almost anyone into a fit of rage, or even despair.But not Dr Catriona Wallace. When this happened to her (yes, this actually happened!), she'd spent enough time navigating male-dominated businesses and boardrooms to know that outrage wasn't the answer. It might've been reasonable, but it wouldn't have been productive. Instead, Cat chose empathy. She put herself in that colleague's shoes, and understood that even though what he'd said was absurd, he clearly didn't mean to insult her. By meeting him where he was instead of where she wanted him to be, she was able to help him understand the contents of her presentation without diminishing herself, or descending into an all-out shouting match. Cat shares how this moment, and others just like it, turned her into the empathetic leader she is today.Connect with Catriona on Twitter or LinkedInYou can find the full interview here: Dr Catriona Wallace's million-dollar nose ring and what it taught her about running a business***My new book Time Wise is out now.

What does success really mean? And more importantly, what does it mean to you? These are big questions, questions that author and executive coach Nigel Marsh says we can't ignore. In fact, he believes that we can't reliably achieve anything meaningful if we don't first answer these questions. Nigel's mantra is “clarity, alignment, momentum”, and he seeks each in that order. Without clarity and alignment, he says, momentum isn't just useless - it can actually be destructive. After all, being ever more efficient, if you haven't worked out what you want to be and how you want to live, might just lead you to do even more of the wrong thing, even more efficiently.Nigel shares how he and his coaching clients seek clarity, as well as the lessons he's learned since writing his first book more than two decades ago. Connect with Nigel at his website and pick up a copy of Smart, Stupid and Sixty***My new book Time Wise is out now.

Richard Wiseman's love of magic has improved his work as a psychologist in some unexpected ways. Of course, it's helpful when he's conducting experiments or research into the psychology of magic and illusions; but the lessons magic teaches about performance and holding an audience's attention have been just as valuable. For one thing, Richard never gives away “the answer” too early. If you open your presentation with your findings or big ideas, you have nowhere else to go. Richard instead teases the answer, builds suspense, and constructs a story around it - so his audience has to lean in and pay close attention to make sure they don't miss anything. Richard also shares a simple mental re-frame for when he's feeling uninspired or unexcited at the prospect of yet another presentation…Connect with Richard on Twitter and at his websiteYou can find the full interview here: “Quirkology” Professor Richard Wiseman on using magic to up your public speaking game***My new book Time Wise is out now.

Is your life too complicated?

Was your closet always so stuffed with items you can't even remember buying? This is part of what Leo Babauta calls the cycle of expanding and narrowing our focus. When we develop new interests or hobbies, or start a new job, we tend to expand - but if we don't then narrow things down, by removing clutter or saying ‘no' more often, life can become a bit too unwieldy. Leo shares how he thinks about narrowing and expanding in his own life, and breaks down his journaling rituals and the writing techniques he's borrowed from software developers.Connect with Leo on Twitter or at the Zen Habits website***My new book Time Wise is out now.

But how does he know for sure? Eric uses a simple countdown timer every day to track his most important work: the kind of work that doesn't allow for a quick email check or a scroll through Instagram.When he gets up to go to the bathroom, he pauses the timer. When he needs to check email, he pauses the timer. And when he just needs a break, he pauses the timer.It might sound a bit pedantic at first, but Eric knows all too well just how easily we can trick ourselves out of hard work, and he doesn't want to take any chances.

Well, like anything, it starts with his mornings. Brian's an absolute devotee of Julia Cameron's “Morning Pages,” which he believes clears the “detritus” of the mind that can hold an artist back.

Whether you're pitching to your close-knit project team over Zoom, presenting as a keynote speaker to a packed conference hall, or writing an entire book, great stories are at the heart of any effective communication. And no modern non-fiction author spins a better yarn than Dan Pink, the man behind bestsellers like When: The Scientific Secrets of Timing and more recently, The Power of Regret. The psychology of regret and its many incarnations might sound like dense reading, but Dan proves it doesn't have to be. Some of the first-person case studies in The Power of Regret are as affecting and thought-provoking as any great fiction tale, which makes the underlying science much, much easier to remember and understand. And therein lies one of the keys to Dan's fantastic storytelling: sometimes, you're not the one who should be telling the story! In preparation for his latest book, Dan ran a number of huge surveys and interviewed countless people to better understand the impact certain moments had on their lives. This made it far easier for Dan to test the strength of the stories he wanted to include in his book - if he found his interviewees fascinating, he figured his readers would too. Dan also shares his biggest grievance with the non-fiction market, and how he avoids it in his own work. Connect with Dan on Twitter or at his websiteYou can find the full interview here: Dan Pink on how the “no regrets” life philosophy misses the point***My new book Time Wise is out now.

Ruth is well-versed in the cold reachout, but she doesn't approach it exactly how you might expect: for one thing, she never asks for anything in the beginning, and she's careful not to call anyone her mentor - at least, not to their face. But why?

Have you heard praise showered on the concept of being a “lifelong learner”? You might've missed it in school, but our kids' generation are reminded everyday that learning should continue far beyond the classroom. And if you didn't hear it in school or in parent-teacher conferences, you've surely heard it at work by now. But what does it actually mean, and how do you become a lifelong learner yourself? Enter Dom Price, Atlassian's Work Futurist and a celebrated keynote speaker. Given his title, it makes sense that Dom spends a lot of time thinking about the future of work, but he's certainly not keeping it to himself! Dom discusses how the future of work might look, but cruciually, he's just as passionate about sparking broader conversations on the future, so that we can all design it together.

All entrepreneurs get things wrong; it comes with the territory. But great entrepreneurs love getting things wrong, because it means they're learning. Brian Scudamore, Founder and CEO of O2E (which includes brands such as 1800-GOT-JUNK and Shack Shine), is no different, and as tough as the pandemic was, he still sees it as an invaluable learning opportunity. One of O2E's iconic practices is its enormous, company-wide “huddle”, in which all employees gather in one giant room for seven minutes every morning to discuss the action plan for the day. Brian loved the huddles, loved seeing everyone together, in one place. So he was worried the company would love a vital bit of magic when they moved to remote work during COVID. But then, something brilliant happened - the huddles ended up being even better online. Suddenly, instead of everyone in the room looking at one person amidst a sea of backs, every single person could see every other person's face on the Zoom screen. And Brian realised he'd been wrong - and he was pumped!Brian shares the other unexpected lessons and surprising wins encountered during the pandemic, as well as his process for turning visions into reality. Connect with Brian on Twitter and Linkedin***Get your hands on a copy of Time Wise.Connect with me on the socials:LinkedinTwitterInstagram  If you're looking for more tips to improve the way you work, I write a fortnightly newsletter that contains three cool things I have discovered that help me work better, which range from interesting research findings through to gadgets I am loving.
