How can a scene from the ballet Swan Lake explain the importance of purpose?


How did Muhammad Ali manage to answer two of life’s biggest questions in his poem, known for being the shortest poem ever written?

And what really is wisdom?

Today I’m speaking with the legend that is Jim Carroll, and we will be talking about discovering the amplified self.

And why that is so important.

Jim is a long serving brand and communication strategist and we met when we both worked at the London-based communications agency BBH, where he worked as a planner for 24 years, for a long time ran the strategy function, and was UK Chairman from 2004 to 2015.

We talk about his time at BBH and the many incredible learnings he picked up.

We get an insight to his performance appraisal – and key learnings for all of us.

Then he tells us a story about a man he knew once, that didn’t blink.

There are loads of stories here. And Jim leaves us with some big questions that we should ask ourselves.

This is a must listen. And I promise you, you’ll leave this wanting more.

And I’m thrilled to say that is possible. You can get your weekly dose of Jim through his blog, Jim Carroll’s blog, which I highly recommend. https://www.jimcarrollsblog.com.

So throw on those running shoes, or grab that favourite beverage, and here is Jim.
