Today we’re in conversation with Daryll Scott, author, speaker, consultant and performance coach, and boy did we have a wide ranging conversation covering a number of disparate topics. 

Daryll’s unifying theory of everything, which is leadership and culture are responsible for all of the performance gain inside an organisation. And also they’re the reason why every company that he's ever worked with, which was broken and in need of fixing, that was where the problem lay. 

He also talks about his behavioural economics meets neuroscience theory of Monkey Lion Dog, and how rational based buying marketing personas are pointless. 

“You learn that the less controlling you are, and the more respectful and mindful you are of the ecology of the other person, and what's best for them, that the better, the more effective and influencing you become.”

And finally, he talks about how you can apply his Monkey Lion Dog theory to COVID, because the last year has taken spontaneity out of the UK population and left us in a state of learned helplessness. 

“We've got out of the habit of bustling interactions. I used to get to London, on autopilot to my office. And now going to London would seem like a big day out.”

This truly is an enlightening conversation, varied, yes, but illuminating. We go all over the place, we have great fun, we’re sure you'll enjoy it. But if you only take away one thing, let it be this:

“If you want to remember something really well, make sure that the conditions you do the remembering in are as similar as possible to the conditions where you're going to need to remember.”
