  • Episode 23. Consulting War Stories - The Art of Presentation

    On this month’s podcasts, I share stories from my life in Management Consulting, where I spent a decade prior to my entrepreneurial journey. And some of my most interesting lessons from that time had nothing to do with the work and everything to do with people. 

    In today's episode, I recount the lifelong lesson I learned from the senior partner on my very first engagement at the firm.

    This month’s podcasts will focus on Sales and Marketing - subjects that are both loved and hated. Everyone seems to have a particular view on it - some love it, others hate it. But whatever your stance, the fact is that you can’t avoid it. Every successful enterprise needs great marketing, and that’s what we’ll dig into this month.

    Today's episode focuses on the importance of standing your ground when working with a customer. We like to say that the customer is always right, but sometimes, a little tough love goes a long way, even if it puts us at commercial risk.

But whatever your stance, the fact is that you can’t avoid it. Every successful enterprise needs great marketing, and that’s what we’ll dig into this month.

    And today's podcasts start with a singular premise that I believe is a truism. And that is that you, me and everybody else, for that matter,  works in Sales and Marketing.

  • Episode 18. Don't Join The Herd

    This month’s podcasts will focus - fittingly as we kick off 2020 - on the topic of "Aspirations”, or what is it that we want, what these wants involve and what tradeoffs we need to make to get what we want. 

    In today’s podcast, I wrap up this month’s discussions by reiterating what should be a key guiding principle - that our decisions need to be ours and we need to own them. Our judgement is our own best guide and we need to ensure we don’t simply follow the herd.
