On this episode of Executive Edge, Simon Rycraft sits down with Simon Hall, former BBC correspondent turned Cambridge lecturer, communication coach, and author of more than 20 books. Hall shares how a rebellious teenager inspired by a hippie English teacher grew into a master of storytelling, and why clarity, brevity, and authenticity are the secret weapons of every great leader.

From coaching executives to ditch the jargon to the gripping true story of Charles Darwin’s missing and mysteriously returned notebooks, Hall brings sharp insights, humor, and memorable lessons on how to make your words truly land. If you want to cut through the noise and communicate with real impact, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.
