Bruce Daisley: Laughing His Way To The Top

Listen Later

Bruce Daisley will quite frankly knock your socks off. A powerhouse of energy, the ex-Vice President of Twitter Europe and author of the The No.1 Sunday Times Business Bestseller 'The Joy of Work - 30 Ways to Fix Your Work Culture and Fall in Love with Your Job Again' (or 'Eat Sleep Work Repeat' - in the US. Also host of the podcast of the same name)  joins us for a Pivot Points to remember. 

His energy will power you through a conversation that actually doesn't reeeeally cover many pivot points per se - but boy, oh boy it's a romp through his marvellous mind!

We cover A LOT:

  • He debunks some notable social science experiments.
  • We discover shared experience, control, identity, community are the foundation of resilience. And that resilience is a team effort – not an individual trait.
  • He advocates that finding the opportunities for laughter and humour in our work lives, is where true happiness lives.... and we only laugh when we feel safe. 
  • The idea of a traditional career is antiquated.
  • Leadership is about projected identity – how important it is to see our identity in our leaders to ensure collective community.
  • And as ex-head of Twitter – he’s a fan of policing the social medias MORE.
