Temple Bar Investment Trust (TMPL) has surged ahead in the last year but its focus on "old economy" UK stocks may be off-putting for some. In this interview RWC Partners fund managers Ian Lance and Nick Purves, who took over the portfolio last year, make the investment case for Big Oil, miners, some retail names and other stocks some investors love to hate.In this interview with Dave Baxter, they also discuss how they approach value investing, the outlook for UK dividends and which parts of the market would win - or lose - during a prolonged bout of inflation.

Join Em Stroud and her clown Barbara as they chat all things Women In Business with Vic.  Why is it still important to be raising the profile of women in business?  What has been her journey to running a successful tech firm?  What role has being a mentor and having a mentor played in her success?  How does she inspire Barbara and her new venture?  How can we all create brilliant trumpet noises?  And much much more…. Victoria's Social Media: Instagram: @phrasee LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriapeppiatt/ Twitter: @vicpeppiatt About Victoria: As Phrasee's CRO, Vic leads Phrasee's marketing, sales, customer success and partnerships teams – ensuring all teams are aligned and working together to develop winning AI-powered language optimisation solutions for global household brands. Phrasee is now a multi-million-pound tech company and the world leader in AI-generated marketing language. Prior to launching Phrasee, Vic founded and ran The Pink Group, a leading creative and branding agency, for 11 years. Passionate supporter of women in technology, women in business and mentoring young entrepreneurs. Phrasee pioneered the use of AI generated brand language.

Phrasee's brand language optimization technology dramatically improves the performance of a brand's digital communications across consumer-facing channels.

Summary: Words matter -- whether the goal is to promote buy-in among staff, save time on internal communications or create a more inclusive workplace culture. In this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Scott McInnes invites Charli Nordone, group creative director at The Writer, to take a deep dive into the power of language. It has never been more important to be intentional and disciplined in choosing the right tone of voice, along with words that communicate with precision. Great writing produces positive results across the enterprise – from creating engaging internal HR documents to building a big-budget advertising campaign to producing a coherent annual report that can be digested quickly and easily. Flabby, unfocused or cliched language can have just the opposite effect. A decade ago, Charli had difficulty persuading clients to consider using the word “use” rather than “utilise.” Few people understood the value of word choice and the power of clarity. Not so anymore. She explains why leaders today are demanding higher quality communications – and the value proposition smart writing represents. Effective branding is dependent on compelling language. Productive internal communications depend on the right choice of voice and disciplined messaging. And in an era of heightened sensitivity and commitment to inclusivity, poorly or insensitively chosen words can have an unintentional, and unnecessarily alienating effect. Simply put, wherever you look within a company's culture, words matter. Charli shares with Scott strategies for defining and putting into practice a company-wide “tone of voice.” She also explains how her team at The Writer helps companies develop writing strategies to turbo-charge brand messaging, cut through counter-productive jargon and inspire engagement, whether among employees or prospective customers. Their conversation covers real-world use cases and demonstrates how clearly conceived, crisply written documents pay off with higher response rates and fewer incidents of miscommunication. Check out The Writer's readability checker mentioned at the end of the podcast  here. More information about the Dixons Carphone case Scott references can be found here. Key Takeaways: What “tone of voice” means and why is it so essential to clear, effective messaging. Learning any new skill takes time, support and permission to try with impunity. Remember when you're writing: It's all about the reader. Choice of tone is similar in some ways to using a color palette. There are gradients to consider and options to deploy that are specific to circumstance. Flexibility is critical to implementing the most effective “tone of voice.” The (important) role of language in fostering inclusion and embracing diversity. “Hi Guys” and the varying interpretations to consider. When in doubt, be brave and ask. It shows that you're interested in getting pronouns, pronunciation or other variables right. Practical suggestions for those looking to improve leadership and cultural sensitivity around issues of inclusivity. Understand “business speak” (acronyms and arcane terminology) and the way it can be inherently off-putting or exclusive. Deploy gender decoder tools such as Microsoft Word's inclusive language checker. Always run whatever you've written past a fresh pair of eyes, particularly those whose perspective is other than your own. Dig deep into internal and external policy documents to understand where default language is either alienating or exclusive. Clarity enhances marketing language, optimizes internal communications. Metrics are available to measure the ROI that comes with intentionally conceived, well-considered, disciplined writing. Senior leaders and board members are less and less tolerant of the time sink associated with windy, ineffective writing. Brevity is king.

I'm joined by legendary investor and Forbes acclaimed, "Queen of UK VC", Eileen Burbidge. Eileen is a Partner at Passion Capital, the legendary early-stage tech venture fund with the likes of Monzo, Tide, Nested, Butternut Box & Marshmallow under their belts and is actually a Board Director with Monzo as well as being super involved with a lot of the other portfolio companies too. Eileen started her career in Silicon Valley, working for the likes of Apple, Yahoo!, and Sun Microsystems. In 2004 she moved to London to become one of Skype's earliest employees. In 2011, Eileen became founding partner of Passion. She is also a member of the board of Dixons Carphone, and awarded an MBE in 2015 for services to Business. We listened to the pitch from Amber Perng, founder of Salmo - looking to digitise, speed up and make cheaper the visa application process, of which there are 1.5m a year in the UK. Based on her own experience having to get a visa after studying in the UK, Amber realised lawyers were charging £4K to fill out forms on your behalf and not much else...it could be better. We really dug on the tech importance of a business such as this, the genuine TAM, reaching that target market, the potential to sell more products to the visa customers and whether they are the team to execute. It also brought up an interesting parallel between Eileen (VC) and my (Angel) take on the investment prospects.

In this episode, Tash and I talk about what the Currys rebrand means and how rising wages in some sectors could impact inflation.

Today we have one of the pioneers of the European tech ecosystem on to discuss how the European early-stage VC landscape has changed since its early days – and how their fund, Passion Capital, has unlocked access to investors with their latest fundraise.Eileen Burbidge, a Founding Partner of Passion Capital, and I had a fascinating conversation about all things VC, opening up access to the asset class to individual investors, what it means for the future of venture capital, and Eileen's love of Arsenal and why she's not a fan of the European Super League.Eileen has built a reputation as the go-to VC for seed stage companies in the UK and Europe – and for good reason.Her aptly named fund, Passion Capital, has built a name for itself as one of the top early-stage funds in the UK because of her passion for rolling up her sleeves, much like she did in her days as an operator at Skype, Apple, Yahoo!, and Sun Microsystems.I won't forget when we met last year at her office – she had just stepped out of non-stop meetings with one of her growth-stage companies, where she was helping them figure out team and talent questions.Not every seed stage VC has the ability to stay involved as their companies grow nor does this type of work, but that's what separates Passion from the pack.Eileen is just as much at home in her office, which doubles as a co-working space for Passion portfolio companies, as she is in 10 Downing Street, where she has been named the UK Treasury's Special Envoy for FinTech, has been appointed by the Chancellor as the Chair of Tech Nation, and was awarded an MBE in the 2015 Queen's Birthday Honors for her services to businesses.So maybe it's no surprise why she's been described as “The Queen of British VCs” by Fortune Magazine.She's certainly backed many of the British startup royalty at early-stage, being a Seed investor in Monzo Bank, where she still serves on the board, Tide Bank, GoCardless, Digital Shadows, Marshmallow, Butternut Box, and a number of others.Eileen has also had an illustrious career as an operator, working for Apple, Yahoo, and Sun Microsystems in the early days of the internet before moving to London in 2004 to become one of Skype's earliest employees and Head of Product. She then founded Passion in 2011 as one of the first Seed funds in London, serving a critical market need for the entrepreneurial ecosystem in London. She's now trailblazing once again by being one of the first funds to open up their LP base to the crowd, where they have partnered with Seedrs to allow individuals to invest into Passion's latest fund.She's also an independent non-executive board director at Dixons Carphone, a 10B pound revenue electrical and telecoms retailer and on the Transformation & Innovation Advisory Board at UniCredit.Thanks Eileen for being a pioneer in the European VC ecosystem and bringing innovative structures in venture capital to LPs.I hope you enjoy.

At your most business-critical times and under peak demand, digital channels need to cope with high volumes of traffic without fail. Many businesses don’t have the tech skills in-house to do detailed performance monitoring, or don’t have the bandwidth, which is why they turn to external specialists. So we reached out to the team at thinkTribe, who work with a wide variety of retailers including Boden, Cineworld, Dixons Carphone. In episode 61, we discuss what impact performance monitoring has on the bottom line and what the real cost of failure to test is.

“You can't have everyone wanting to have the next job up, otherwise you run the risk of getting into that conflict with the team”Building a procurement team that works well together requires an overview of the whole team's needs when hiring, not just looking at the role to be filled. Finding talent with the skill set you don't yet cover may require an open-minded CPO to look beyond applicants already in the procurement profession.The CPO of Dixons Carphone, Kendall Smith, has experienced procurement transformations in a variety of industries, from property, to IT, to phones and broadband, and knows the kind of traits that prop up a successful procurement team. In this episode of Talent Talks, we hear Kendall's take on interim and permanent roles, the increasing need for high return on investment when hiring contractors, and how hiring too many budding CPO's-to-be could be a detriment to your team.This episode of Talent Talks covers:What CPO's look for in talented procurement professionalsThe differing skill set required for different industriesMore effective use of contractorsInterim vs permanent rolesIdentifying the team's needs when hiringThe dangers of a whole team wanting the top jobLinks and references at: https://talentdrive.co.uk/category/talent-talks-podcast/Get in touch: martin@talentdrive.co.uk

Use this to determine your worth.Empathy is important, but don't mistake this for sympathy. We still need to get the job doneRound Table, and other service organisations, are a great way to build your skills and personal network When you are in a challenging situation, don't be scared and trust in yourselfLearn to market yourself and live with being uncomfortableWhen you are at the start of your career, think about a change every five yearsBooks MentionedPeter recommends the following books:S.U.M.O.
