We've all heard that phrase "work smarter, not harder." But has anyone actually told you what that means in practice? For those of us leading change and transformation, the gap between working ourselves to the bone and actually creating impact can feel frustratingly wide.This week, Nellie speaks to Chris Hirst, former Global CEO of Havas Creative, and author of ‘No Bullshit Change', ‘No Bullshit Leadership', and the upcoming ‘Indispensable: The No Bullshit Guide to Career Success'. Chris reveals a startling reality: most change leaders deliver 80% of their actual value in just 20% of their time. The rest? It's what he calls "fluff and filler" that's eating our productivity alive.Chris tackles a provocative idea – that identifying and focusing on the vital 20% doesn't require special talent, just deliberate practice and clear priorities. You'll learn practical approaches to reclaim your calendar (including his Monday morning 10% rule), run meetings that actually accomplish something, create presentations that engage rather than bore, and communicate in ways that drive action.Whether you're leading organizational change and transformation or building your own career, these straightforward techniques for leadership, clarity, and execution will help you stop wasting time and become truly indispensable.----Connect with:Nellie WartoftCEO of TigerhallChair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)nellie@tigerhall.com Find Chris' upcoming book here.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Indispensable-Seven-Ways-Thrive-Workplace/dp/1529051754 ----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

What is the concept of Laddering and  the 5 Whys ? How does one craft content that converts?Please explain with a case study or example. In an AI-driven era, how does content marketing need to evolve? How does one make content authentic, engaging, and relatable to engage both robots and humans?

Effective marketing requires not only a solid strategy but also adaptability and a deep understanding of consumer motivations. By leveraging these principles and staying attuned to the ever-changing marketing landscape, you can craft compelling campaigns that resonate with your audience and drive business success. Unlocking the Secrets of Laddering Laddering is a technique used in qualitative market research to delve deeper into consumer motivations.It involves asking "why" repeatedly to uncover the root of consumer decisions. Laddering helps move beyond surface-level responses and exposes the underlying motivations. Don't settle for the first answer; keep digging to reveal the true driving factors. The Art of Content That Converts Creating content that converts is the ultimate goal for marketers.Conversion goes beyond engagement metrics like likes and shares; it's about driving action. Video-based content is a versatile format, as it can be repurposed into various other content types. Content should be adaptable, allowing you to use it in different channels. Curation is becoming more critical in content creation.  It's about finding and sharing valuable existing content, rather than creating everything from scratch. Lead Generation vs. Demand Generation Lead generation focuses on identifying potential customers and capturing their interest. Demand generation concentrates on brand awareness and creating a need for your product or service. B2B companies often need both lead and demand generation strategies. The two approaches serve different purposes in the buyer's journey.Consumers may not be ready to buy immediately, but capturing their information allows for future engagement. Recognize that lead generation is the beginning of a longer relationship-building process.

"Modern technology encourages artful choreography over truth”. What are some instances where the digital marketing world exploits data and predictive models to influence behaviours and beliefs? What ethical concerns arise from the convergence of AI, machine learning, and personal data, specifically regarding privacy, control, and abuse for both consumers and humans in general? How do products and brands manipulate emotions to influence us, given your perspective coming from the 'dark side,' and shed light on the tactics used to emotionally manipulate and nudge consumers? How does the illusion of choice impact decision-making, and how do businesses and marketers across various sectors use this manipulation to guide outcomes in their favour? What is the concept of "trigger stacking," and how does it magnify the impact of emotions? How can comedy and humour effectively dismantle manipulated narratives and combat misinformation? Patrick Fagan answers the above questions and gives us a peek into his new book 'Free Your Mind' . Patrick Fagan is Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Capuchin Behavioural Science. He is a consultant, lecturer, author, public speaker. Patrick was Lead Psychologist at Cambridge Analytica for until the company went into administration.

Moving from school to college or college to the first job marks significant milestones that shape our habits and preferences. This transition spawns the creation of new habits, both positive and negative, exemplified by choices such as smoking, drinking, and romance. These phases offer fertile ground for brands to establish themselves as part of these transformative experiences, thereby becoming ingrained in consumers' lives.The team at Nescafe used this insight to position coffee as the quintessential emblem of adulthood. As individuals traverse from one life stage to another, coffee emerges as a symbolic initiation into the world of grown-ups. Power of Emotional Engagement in Tech Brands Contrary to popular belief, technology-driven products are not devoid of emotion. Emotions find their place even in the realm of tech products, albeit in a different form. The key lies in crafting emotional connections that resonate with consumers.Successful tech branding hinges on establishing relevance, credibility, and trust. Ask Nestle: Personalized Nutrition for Moms Nestle's journey into personalized nutrition for mothers offers a striking example of how brands can address specific consumer needs and aspirations. Ask Nestle provided personalized nutrition plans to cater to individual preferences and regional dietary habits. This involved creating a content machinery that delivers scientifically accurate and cost-effective information. Lakme: Reviving the Essence of Seductive Beauty Revitalizing a brand's essence required a multi-pronged approach encompassing fundamental improvements, effective training, and compelling communication. This involved strengthening the brand's foundation by training beauty advisors and enhancing product knowledge. It also meant reinventing packaging and crafting impactful communication to resonate with consumers' emotions.

What does ‘the ‘Me-economy' mean for brands? How does the data reveal the approaches brands must make to be meaningful today?

Edited highlights of our full conversation. This week's guest is Chris Hirst. He's the Global CEO of Havas Creative - they describe themselves as the world's most integrated advertising and communications business. He's also the author of an award winning book, No Bullsh*t Leadership. Which means he's given a lot of thought to the art of leading a creative business. So much has been written and said about leadership. Libraries full of thinking and advice. Strategies and objectives and theories and case studies and oceans-full of best practices. We humans are complex beings. Biological entities fueled by emotions and very often willing to make decisions and take actions which, even after a moment's thought, work against our own best interests. No wonder that the Doomsday Clock is set at 100 seconds to midnight. Leadership requires you take people on a journey. From where we are today. To a better version of tomorrow. A lot of attention gets paid to the destination. Justifiably so. After all, to slightly misquote Alice in Wonderland, if you don't care where you're going, any road will do. But as Chris points out, the other end of the journey, the honest acknowledgement of where you are today, is often missing for fear that someone will be upset or offended or will judge the progress so far as inadequate. Honesty about the challenges you're trying to overcome is where leadership begins. Without that honesty, at least two things become true. First, every time you think you're making a decision, you're making it through a distorted lens. Which means they're not decisions, it's a guess. And second, if you won't trust yourself with the truth, why should anyone else trust you? So, trust yourself and start with truth.
