This episode hosts Mike Sergeant from Sergeant Leadership Communications; discussing internships, the changing face of journalism, covering war zones and moments of human communication. Let me know your thoughts on Twitter @benjudah. Sponsored by The PR Office.

Mike Sergeant helps business leaders tell powerful stories. I coach top executives to become charismatic and authentic public speakers. He runs media training for some of the most successful international companies. I am the #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of PR for Humans. Right now Mike has his dream job: travelling the world, inspiring leaders and helping them reach their audiences. This brings together my twin passions - storytelling and business. Best of all, he gets to help some of the most intelligent and interesting people on the planet. Sometimes people ask him WHY he left a successful career as an international TV journalist (Reuters, Sky News and the BBC) to become a coach, speaker and trainer. WHY did he leave the security of working for a successful PR agency? WHY did he set up his own consultancy? Simply because for him it's the most fascinating job in the world. He get to be a keynote speaker at leading industry conferences. He gets to appear in the media and help others do so too. He gets to write books, host podcasts and (this is the best bit) help people through the moments of maximum stress and pressure. He helps them deliver powerful performances and craft PR strategies that work. His life's work is rooted in the following values: INVESTING (in myself and my closest relationships), PROVIDING (for my family by producing more than I will ever consume), LEARNING (always stretching my mind), NOURISHING (myself with good food and water), TIDYING (having a clear, unclutterd life), APPRECIATING (the beauty of the world) and TRAINING (for the strength i need)

Mike Sergeant spent 13 years as a reporter at the BBC, covering two UK general elections and, as the Beeb's Middle East Correspondent, was on the ground during the insurgency in Iraq, the Gaza War and the Arab Spring. Mike's now left the world of news for a career in public relations and has brought his expertise in communications to bear in a book, out now, called PR for Humans. Mike spoke with That's News To Me about crossing the 'river styx' into PR, his reflections on the culture at the BBC and what journalism can learn from PR.

A few of the stand-out moments from the last few Extraordinary Business Book Club episodes - there's a celebratory feel as it marks the fifth birthday of Practical Inspiration, and this week we're focused on finding inspiration in the uncomfortable and owning your ideas. Niki Schafer on submerging yourself in things that inspire you Anjali Ramachandran on seeking out ideas outside your comfort zone  Brendan Barns on owning your story and the importance of humour Kate Minchin on the unexpected usefulness of the zombie apocalpyse approach Niklas Jansen on taking your ideas to new platforms Chris Watson on the value of process and people Miya Knights on collaboration and vulnerability  Mike Sergeant on intimacy, trust and the podcast.

As a journalist, Mike Sergeant's job was to communicate complex issues clearly and quickly. He had to find within huge geopolitical issues the human stories that listeners could connect with. Today he uses that experience to help business leaders communicate more powerfully.  Mike believes that PR is simply storytelling - human to human. Finding the story and creating the emotional connection, that's what saves us from spin and distrust.  In this conversation we talk about the difference between simplifying your message and clarifying it, the power of the podcast, and those weirdly productive 3am moments.

In the first podcast of 2019, Mike shares his excitement about the launch of his book PR for Humans. He outlines the principles in the book: how business leaders tell powerful stories. Enjoy. Please rate, review and share.

In this episode we dive into the world of photography with Mike's old friend and colleague Chris Booth. Mike and Chris worked together on the intake desk at APTV back in 1997 and later found themselves in Baghdad with the BBC at the peak of the post-conflict violence. After leaving the BBC and during a spell at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Chris found a new passion in photography - where his eye for a story has delivered some remarkable images. We talk about the role of the picture in the world of PR and comms and how stills photography measures up against video. Chris uses photography as a form of therapy too - a way of processing a troubled world...and seeing the beauty too.

Mike talks stories with the author of 'The Charmed Life of Alex Moore" - the wonderful Molly Flatt. It's her debut novel and, without giving too much away, is unexpected and challenging and has some rather deep things to say about character and story. Molly started out in drama school before becoming a digital 'word of mouth' marketing expert. Then onto novel writing and digital publishing. This podcast is about the intersection between real stories and the (sometimes) pretend world of social media. Brilliant.
